Another dull match with two wrrestlers with no ability.Luger won the match with the Torture Rack. Another WCW/NWO Brawl started after the match.

"Mean" Mike Enos vs. "Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit
This opening contest featured two WCW veterans who're very underrated. Enos started out whaling on Benoit with a titlt-a-whirl backbreaker. The match then goes back on fourth for a while with a few of Enos's blood vessels popping. Benoit gives Enos two straight german suplexes, a diving headbutt off the top turnbuckle, then slaps on the crossface crippler to make ENos tap out at 9:47

Right after the pind the NWO came and handcuffed Ric to the ropes and beat the crap out of David Flair.

-Ladder Match- Scott Hall vs. Bill Godberg
This is the second ladder match televised on WCW since the first Souled Out 2 years ago. Usually a ladder match has the belt hanging up in the air, but in this case it had a tazerstick and the first person to use it would win. Goldberg favored his left knee making out he injured it earlier that day. A cool moment was when Hall nailed an elbow off the ladder which made Goldberg bleed. Hall and Goldberg just about grabbed the tazer stick on several occasions. Goldberg was about to grab it until Disco Inferno came out and shoved him off the ladder and helped Hall climb it. Hall grabbed the stick, but missed it on Goldberg who dropkicked it out of his hands. Goldberg grabbed it and used it on Disco and Hall begged for him not to use it. Goldberg tossed the stick in the air, and as Hall reached for it Goldberg gave Hall the spear then the Jackhammer and used the stick on Hall for the win at 16:51.
