• Wrath defeated Van Hammer
with the Meltdown.
-As usual, Wrath dominated the match. He finished off Van Hammer
with the Meltdown.
• Fit Finlay defeated Alex
Wright with the Tombstone Piledriver.
-The commentators called Alex Wright, Das Wonderful Kid. At one
point during the rematch from Halloween Havoc, Fit Finlay
strapped Wright in the same move he used to break Wright's dad's
leg. After Wright was helping up the referee, when the referee
was accidently knocked out when Wright executed a Missle
Dropkick, Finlay picked up Wright from behind, and executed the
Tombstone Piledriver. The pin was secured, and Finlay then took
the victory.
• The Disciple defeated Tuff
Tom (w/Mean Mike) with the Apocalypse.
-The Disciple easily and quickly took the victory with the
Apocalypse finishing maneuver (jawbreaker). Following the match,
Mean Mike attempted to attack The Disciple, but received an
Apocalypse as well.
• Dean Malenko defeated Eddie
Guerrero by Disqualification.
-As Dean Malenko took the advantage, LWO members interfered. An
attack was put on Malenko, until Four Horsemen members, Chris
Benoit and Steve McMichael made the save.
• Chris Jericho defeated
Disco Inferno by making him submit to the Lion Tamer, to retain
the WCW Television Title.
-Chris Jeircho was with his over-weight security guard. Before
the match, Disco Inferno wanted Jericho to place the Television
Title around his waste. Jericho put the belt around the wait of
Disco, and then, attacked him. Jericho tried to use the belt
several times as a weapon, but the referee made sure it was not
used. Jericho strapped Disco in the Lion Tamer; Disco tried to
fight it, but once pulled further into the ring, he submitted.
• Kidman defeated Chavo
Guerrero, Jr. via Pinfall, to retain the WCW Cruiserweight Title.
-After Chavo Guerrero, Jr. went for Pepe, he was basically
dominated by Kidman. Kidman rolled-up Chavo to take the win.
Following the match, LWO members made their ways in. Chavo shoved
Eddie Guerrero, and all LWO members ganged up on Chavo, until
Eddie broke it up. Eddie said Chavo had to earn his respect to
join the LWO.
• Ernest Miller defeated
Villano V with a Spinning Roundhouse kick.
-Before the match, Ernest Miller gave Villano V five-seconds to
leave the ring; Villano stayed. Miller easily took the win after
a Spinning Roundhouse Kick. Following the match, Miller was
insulting the fans. Miller challenged anyone to confront him, and
out came Sonny Onoo. Onoo said Miller was the greatest, but
Miller said he didn't need anyone. Onoo pulled out a big bundle
of money, and Miller said he and Onoo would talk about it
backstage.
• Scott Hall defeated Steve
Armstrong with the Outsider's Edge.
-Scott Hall easily took the win with the Outsider's Edge. On a
note, we normally put this match in the Thunder Taping report as
Armstrong taking the win, but that was not the cast.
• The Giant defeated Raven
(w/Kanyon) with the Choke Slam.
-After The Giant slammed Raven through a table with the Choke
Slam, he took the victory. Raven was knocked out cold, with
Kanyon to his aid, as the show went off the air.
