The Show
Super Calo defeated Pat Tanaka (2:26)
- Interesting to note, Tanaka came out to music that would eventually be used for Goldberg. Super Calo is money. I loved these AAA wrestlers.
Meanwhile Backstage
- They showed some kids with nWo shirts and nWo fliers.
Glacier Promo
- They showed some footage of Glacier's debut (which too place on WCW Pro). That entrance with the lights and the snow and all that - it cost a lot of money. Looks like his debut will take place on the Nitro after the upcoming Fall Brawl.
The Nasty Boys defeated Jacques Rougeau & Carl Ouellet (3:26)
- Jacque Rougeau was the villainous Mountie character in WWF. Carl Ouellet was part of "The Quebecers" with Rougeau in WWF. In WCW, they were known as "The Amazing French Canadians". They would go back to WWF, then back to WCW again in 2000 to join Team Canada. They have a pretty interesting story. Before the match, they insisted on singing the Canadian National Anthem.
Scott Norton defeated Sgt. Craig Pittman (w/ Teddy Long) (2:59)
- This was a "hold v hold submission match". Ice Train came out, got in Norton's face. Apparently Ice Train is gonna face Norton at Fall Brawl.
Backstage with Luger, Arn, Flair, Mongo and Benoit
- A little backstage bit hyping up the upcoming War Games match. Man, Arn could cut a promo.
Juventud Guerrera defeated Joe Gomez (2:13)
- I honestly don't remember Joe Gomez. It doesn't seem like he did much outside of WCW. Juvi crushed this match.
Nick Patrick Interview
- Mean Gene asks Nick Patrick about last week when Lex Luger bumped into him, and he disqualified him. Patrick says he was "deliberately hit".
Outside
- The nWo members are shown putting fliers on cars outside the arena. Ted DiBiase is shown talking to someone in the black limo.
Rick Steiner defeated Lex Luger (6:57)
- I liked the handshake before the match. For some reason, Nick Patrick came out and motioned Luger to the match, causing him to lose by count out.
Meanwhile, in the parking lot
Luger ran outside. Ted DiBiase is talking to someone in the limo. "Sting" jumps out of the limo and proceeds to beat up Luger along with the rest of the nWo. Note, this "Sting" was Jeff Farmer, the nWo Sting, as he was called.
nWo Promo
- Another black and white nWo promo - for the nWo shirt. I remember they ended with "all proceeds will go to the Ric Flair retirement fund". That shirt was incredibly popular. Back then, everyone wore one.
WCW Cruiserweight Champion Rey Mysterio Jr. defeated Billy Kidman (1:40)
- It's weird seeing this smiley, happy Kidman knowing what he'll be like in Raven's Flock soon. It was a short match. Kidman was basically just a jobber at this point.
The Barbarian & Meng (w/ Jimmy Hart) defeated The Public Enemy (10:41)
- I forgot about Public Enemy and the hand waving and all that. These guys came over from ECW, and eventually would go on to WWF. Both of them are deceased now - Rocco Rock in in 2002, and Johnny Grunge in 2006. After the match, Big Bubba called out Glacier. He's tired of the promos. He wants to fight. Also, funny to hear Konnan cutting a promo on the nWo that he would eventually join.
Meanwhile, Backstage (Lex, Arn, Benoit, Flair, Mongo)
- They're reacting to "Sting" attacking Luger. They seem betrayed.
nWo Promo
- Ted DiBiase is now in the promos, talking about how powerful the nWo is. Hogan talks about how rich Ted DiBiase is, and how he makes Ted Turner look like "a pauper".
John Tenta defeated Randy Savage via count-out (2:00)
- Note, some of you may recall that John Tenta is from WWF where he was known as Earthquake. Tenta actually used the music that would later become Chris Jericho's. The limo returned, and Savage ran out, ending in count out.
