• Glacier defeated Chris Adams by making him submit to a Minor Chokehold.
-Glacier said he was the originator of the Kryonic Kick, and was sick and tired of seeing others use it. After Chris Adams had the win with the Super Kick, Sonny Onoo distracted the referee in the process of a pin. Ernest Miller popped out of no-where, and kicked Adams in the back of the head. Onoo and Miller headed back, while Glacier finished off Adams with a new submission-type chokehold.

• Kenny Kaos defeated Kendall Windham with a Springboard Clothesline.

• Stevie Ray (w/Horace, Scott Norton, and Vincent) defeated Jerry Flynn with the Slap Jack.
-NWO-Hollywood members on the outside of the ring got several cheapshots on Jerry Flynn. Stevie Ray finished off the match with the Slap Jack.

• Rey Mysterio, Jr. defeated Juventud Guerrera with the Frankensteiner, to earn a Cruiserweight Title shot.
-The winner of the match would take on Kidman for the Cruiserweight Title at World War III. As a physical match went on, time ran out. The match continued, however, because of the importance of it. Juventud Guerrera wasted a lot of time when going for the 450 Splash. Rey Mysterio, Jr. then took advantage and finished off Guerrera with the Frankensteiner.

• Kidman defeated Chavo Guerrero, Jr. by Disqualification, to retain the Cruiserweight Title.
-Both superstars put on an excellent, physical match. As Kidman went for the Shooting Star Press, LWO members interfered. LWO began to attack Chavo Guerrero, Jr. and Kidman. Eddie Guerrero made his way in, and asked his members to stop. Rey Mysterio, Jr. hit the ring, and accidently nailed Kidman with a drop-kick. Kidman and Mysterio successfully scared off the LWO.

• Dean Malenko defeated Kanyon (w/Raven) by Disqualification.
-Raven was really bumbed out, and just left in the middle of them match. After Dean Malenko strapped Kanyon in the Texas Clover Leaf, Lodi interfered. It was a two-on-one attack on Malenko, until Chris Benoit made the save.

• The Giant defeated Konnan by Disqualification.
-The Giant dominated Konnan at first. The Giant set up a table against the ringpost on the outside of the ring. He ran into nothing but wood, and not Konnan. Konnan began to hit The Giant several times with a chair, causing him to get disqualified. Konnan left, while The Giant Chokslammed the referee.
