Jimmy Hart, Barbarian caught him from behind with the Boot of

Chris Jericho Interview - (With Tony Schiavone)

Nitro and then called him out. When
Jericho found out Dillion was not in the Nashville Municipal
Auditorium, he went back to his bash on

next Monday on Nitro, so he could be
reinstated as the WCW Cruiserweight Champion.
The British Bulldog and Jim Niedhart defeated High Voltage
with Bulldog's Running Powerslam.
-As Jim Niedhart and Rage were fighting on the outside of the
ring, The British Bulldog finished off Kaos
with the Running Powerslam.
Wolfpack Interview.
-The Wolfpac came out with new entrance music, which was a basic
rap variation. Lex Luger said he
could name off thousands of reasons on why he joined the stable,
but basically it was the proper
decision. He also encouraged Sting to join The Wolfpac, since
they have been friends for many years.
Glacier defeated Van Hammer by Disqualification.
-When Glacier started to execute the Rings of Saturn on Van
Hammer, Saturn came down and attacked
him. Glacier was announced the winner by Disqualification. Raven
then came in and attacked Hammer,
while Saturn continued his attack on Glacier. Raven asked Saturn
to join him as a tag team again, and
Saturn accepted. Afterwards, Raven claimed he saw Mortis.
However, it turned out to be a vendor and a
WCW worker, that Saturn attacked for no apparent reason. While
Saturn turned around, the actual Mortis
attacked Raven.
Booker T. defeated Chris Benoit with the Missle Dropkick.
-Both superstars showed many signs of tiredness. After Chris
Benoit got up from a sidewalk slam,
Booker T. nailed him with the Missle Dropkick for the win. Both
Booker T. and Benoit remain with one
victory in their seven match series. Afterwards, Tony Schiavone
received some words from Benoit. Benoit
basically said he would continue with successful victories.

Saturn. However, after Darsow began to
argue with the referee, Saturn caught him with the Death Valley
Driver for the win.
Goldberg defeated Barry Horowitz with the Jackhammer,
retaining the WCW United States Title.
Bret Hart Interview - (With Eric Bischoff, The Giant, and
Vincent)
-Bret Hart continued his rant on Sting, saying how much better he
was than Lex Luger. Hart went on to
say that Sting would have to decide if he was with The Wolfpac or
NWO-Hollywood. The Wolfpac then
appeared. Bret Hart and Kevin Nash argued over whom Sting would
side-off with. The Wolfpack and
members from NWO-Hollywood began to brawl when Thunder went off
the air.
