It's WCW Nitro baby, and it's the go home show for SLAMBOREE! This is gonna be one sick PPV! Here's the scoops brother:
***
***
The show opens with The Flawless Diamond himself Kurt Hennig and Number One Contender Kevin Nash coming to the ring. Hennig reminds the crowd that this week is the countdown to the end. "Slamboree is seven days away. In the past few weeks, you've witnessed the true power of the Flawless Diamonds, the sheer dominance we told you all we represented. Some of you didn't believe us when we said we were the real power behind professional wrestling, the dark hand that has controlled every company, every territory since wrestling was born. From Japan to London, from Quebec to Tijuana, from a sold-out stadium to an empty high school gym."
"All doubt will be gone after this Sunday. Diamond Dallas Page has hunted down Kid Rock like an animal, and on his behalf I am now officially accepting that open invitation to a match for the US title. Raven played Eddy Guerrero like a fiddle, and thanks to a little anger and misplaced sentiment the Television Title is as good as ours. And the all-mighty Macho Man is about to get run down and his title made into just another trophy by our chosen champion, the man who will bring WCW to it's knees, Kevin Nash. Oh, and lets not forget my personal consolation prize, the final nail in the coffin of the Four Horsemen in their long campaign of failure trying to stand in our way. Sunday night, our victory will be... Flawless."
His speech finished, he hands over the mic to Nash, who calls out Commisioner Rick Rude. Nash tells the boss that since he wasn't ready to wrestle last week, he wants a proper tune-up in tonight's Main Event. "So, 'Boss,' why don't you do yourself a favor, and set it up like this: get Flair and Luger, Mr. Macho and his little buddy Hawk, and the Outsiders, King Steven Regal... and the Flawless Diamond himself Curt Hennig will do YOU the honor of taking them apart." Rude clearly doesn't like being spoken too so condescendingly, but before he can speak Pomp and Circumstance hits the speaker and Randy Savage hits the ring... accompanied by Ric Flair!
The Champ says that this is an odd coincidence, because he was just about to come out here and suggest the exact same match. Flair takes over and says that since Lex "didn't get the chance to cave in the faces of either of you two dumb blondes, the Horsemen went to the Champ and suggested that we take tonight as an opportunity to squeeze in a beating between your hair dye sessions!" Savage then comments that as far as he's concerned, "Me and my friend Hawk consider it a personal pleasure to help tarnish a few Flawless Diamonds. So you bet your rear end that this match is on. And if Regal wants to show his face as well, then that's just gravy! DIG IT!" Rude puts himself between them and agrees to make the match before the four men start a fight.

Rick Steiner vs Brutus Briefcase. The opening match of the evening pits the Dogface Gremlin against everyone favorite evil lawyer. Briefcase seems clearly out of his league as he goes for an early shoulder tackle but eats a Steiner Line for his trouble! Brutus fights back with a nice neckbreaker and follows up with an elbow drop, but Steiner gets back and nails a snug Dragon Suplex! Steiner is starting to feel it and presses his advantage with some quick punches and a German Suplex, targeting the neck to power up the Steiner Driver... but suddenly Meng attacks! The Merciless One comes through the crowd and climbs the apron, and Steiner doesn't notice him until he reaches over the ropes and locks in the Tongan Death Grip!
Steiner starts to black out quickly... but he grabs Meng and arm-drags him into the ring! With his attacker disabled, Steiner pulls out a new move, adding a step-over toehold to his brother's Steiner Recliner! Tenay says the improved submission move, which doubles the pain of the victime, ought to be called the Steiner Refiner since it's such a step up from the original. Meng screams in agony until Brutus nails a big boot! Meng limps away from the ring as Brutus throws Rick into the corner, looking for the High Knee... but Steiner dodges! Briefcase hits the turnbuckle groin first, and his pain gives Steiner all the opening he needs to pick him onto his shoulders and nail the Steiner Driver. 1, 2, 3, Steiner wins despite Meng's interference!

Backstage, Raven lurks in a dark corner with Madusa. He tells her he doesn't want her ringside for his match at Slamboree. "I've failed the group once against Kid Rock. You were the perfect partner to destroy Chavo and Hector, and thanks to you Eddy Guerrero's mind will be so clouded with rage on Sunday I'll be able to take him apart. But this is my assignment. I have to prove that my world title in Barb Wire City was a sign of my strength, not their weakness. And when Little Eddy's unconscious at my feet, I want everyone to know that Raven didn't need any help to snuff out his rising star."
Madusa says she understands completely and she'll stay out of his way. "Besides, I've got a little job of my own to occupy me."

Arn Anderson vs Taka Michinoku. Taka comes out fighting for his life, knowing that Arn is just here to use him as a tune-up and not willing to go quietly. He batters Arn into the corner with some monster kicks and haymaker punches, then backs up looking for a corner splash... and Arn takles him in mid air and drives him all the way to the opposite corner! Double A beats Taka savagely, laying punch after punch into his skull and then chaining a backbreaker and a power slam to wreck his back.
Taka tries once of twice to drag himself back into the fight, but Arn smothers him with knife-edge chops and suplexes. Taka is clearly defenseless after several minutes of punishment, and the announcers (except Ventura) wonder if the match should be stopped for Taka's sake. Arn won't let the ref near him to check his condition, and we soon understand why as the ex-champion rolls him out of the ring... and starts taking up the ground padding! The bare concrete is exposed just as Taka climbs back to his feet again... only for Anderson to drill him into the stone with the Spinebuster! It's a repeat of what he did to Giant!
Anderson seems satisfied as he rolls Taka back into the ring... and then gives the crowd an "Uh, uh uh," look and picks him up one more time, delivering a second spinebuster. Mercifully, this time he covers and takes the pinfall.
Arn demands a microphone as he stands over a broken Taka. "This is your future Chris! You think fear is what got me to the top, huh? I got news for you, you don't know a drat thing about me. If you think I'm nothing but a harmless boogeyman I should have tossed you in the garbage much sooner. I hurt people Chris. I hurt The Giant. I hurt this poor little boy right here. And pretty soon, I'm gonna hurt you." He tosses the mic down and steps on Taka's chest on his way out.

The Certified Sweetheart Beulah McGillicuty and the Man of Mystery Rey Misterio Jr. are in the ring prior to the next match. "Sunday night's gonna be easy like Sunday Morning boys, because Ciclope's time is almost up! My client Rey Misterio's gonna wrap his big strong arms around that mask and just... oooh, just rip it off! Then EVERYONE can see what's underneath! I know you're all soooo desperate to find out the real identity of that dastardly man, and Rey Misterio's going to show the world! That's a promise from me to you, and remember, The Sweetheart knows what you like, and she always makes sure you get it!"
She blows a kiss to the camera, and Rey has a chuckle. "But before any of that can happen, we've got a match to win tonight! And it is my great pleasure to introduce my client's tag team partner for the evening: WCW's first Cruiserweight Champion, EL HIJO DEL SANTO!" Santo hits the ring and the two luchadors share a handshake.
Rey Misterio, Jr. and El Hijo del Santo vs Fire and Ice! James Mitchell leads his two rage slaves out to the ring like a liontamer, and when they catch sight of the two Luchadors in the ring they rush it to start off with a four man brawl! The ref finally breaks them up leaving Santo and Norton the legal men. Norton fires up early and lands a big rib-breaker before dragging Santo the ropes and hitting an elevated DDT, perhaps imitating Hashimoto's Kusanagi. Santo is slow to recover from the two big moves, but eventually manages to counter an Irish Whip with a springboard sunset flip and follows up with a surfboard! Ice doesn't take kindly to this and punts Santo in the ribs to break the hold.
Fire and Ice drag Santo into their corner and work him over, quickly swapping tags and showing they're not complete anger zombies with smart tactics like targeting Santo's legs to ensure he won't be able to land the Tope de Cristo. But Santo turns the tables quite suddenly by flipping over onto a handstand and hitting Ice with a headscissors takedown! The Son of the Saint hobbles to Misterio with all his remaining strength and makes the tag before Ice can recover, allowing Misterio to dart in front of Ice and hit that between rope tiger feint kick right into the kidney to keep the heels from tagging in the fresh man. Misterio follows up with several high spots that leave Ice Train dazed and confused. He sets the big man up for the West Coast Pop... and it connects! Misterio hooks the leg from his seat on Ice Train's chest and the ref counts 1...2...3! Misterio wins and his manager and partner congratulate him.

Booker T is backstage talking to the Giant. He said that since Hashimoto suggested he turn to his friends in tough times, Giant was the first person to came to mind. Giant seems touched. "You know Book, I'm not the kind of guy who makes friends easy. Most of the guys in the back are pretty intimidated by me. But after that whole thing with Muta and your brother, I'm proud to call you a friend too." They hug it out... then immediately think better of it, put some space between each other and change the subject.
Booker says he really wanted to talk about this whole Yummy Mummy thing, and if Giant has any ideas about what it means. "I don't know man. I mean, we've got some weirdoes around here, that's for sure. Those Navigator guys are like, robot musicians I guess? And Glacier and all those ninja types. Raven's kind of creepy and weird. All those Luchas with the crazy masks, I swear keep hearing Ciclope talking to himself... but a Mummy? With a curse? And, like, a FRUIT curse? That's beyond the pale. We haven't seen anything as weird as that since... I guess since I broke up the Dungeon of Doom."
That comment seems to intrigue Booker. "You know dog, now that I'm thinking about it, back when you was in the Dungeon you were kind of a freak yo-self. You fought Hogan in that Doomsday Cage and you were always talking about being Andre The Giant's son or some other nonsense. And you weren't the only one. Meng, Shark and Morrus were totally different guys in that crew than they are now." Giant considers that, and says "You know, I don't really remember much about when I was in the Dungeon. Everything is kind of a blur. That's strange isn't it?" Booker thanks him for his help and takes off without another word, leaving Giant even more confused.

The New Blue Bloods vs The American Males. Cruiser Champ Alex Wright starts the bout and makes things very hard on Marcus Bagwell, who finds his power offense stymied several times by Wright's technician work. Clotheslines, boots and attempted suplexes are countered flawlessly with chain wrestling, arm drags, and drop toeholds. Bagwell spends a lot of time eating mat as Alex works his shoulders to try and take some of his strength away, but we are treated a hilarious spot where Wright is thrown off and Bagwell drops back to the mat to do some Scott Steiner pushups! He bull rushes Wright and gut checks him into the corner, but Wright fights back with a face-buster and high-tails it to tag in Doug Williams.
Williams pounces on Bagwell and brutalizes him, hitting knees to the spin and ribs while he's still down and then just stomping him again and again. When Bagwell finally gets back up he's set up for a double-underhook suplex, but he's countered when Bagwell powers out and nails one of his own! Bagwell makes the tag to Riggs, who comes in hot and takes it to Williams while he's stunned, but he's soon shut down by a shocking snap suplex... which is followed up with a gutwrench suplex... and finally a big exploder suplex! The combo leaves the fresh Scotty Riggs totally out of gas, and Williams gleefully climbs the ropes and, almost defying belief, actually manages to land his finisher, the Bombs Away divine kneedrop. Williams hooks the leg and picks up his first victory in quite some time... and gleefully mocks the crowd with his tag partner.

Blue lights and a flurry of snow signal the return of Glacier! He poses in the ring, then cuts a promo: "Last Sunday, on WCW Worldwide I returned to the ring, to test my skills. Now I can confirm that my recovery is complete. Mortis and Wrath thought they had finished me, they tried to break this mortal shell of mine so nothing would stand against them. But they underestimated me, just as they underestimated my ally Shinya Hashimoto, the Shogun! Now, I have returned. Hashimoto's goals are different from mine when it comes to Mortis, but we both agree that he, Wrath and all of James Mitchell's forces must be stopped at all costs! So tonight, I vow revenge for my wounds. Wrath is an avatar of rage, and Mortis is a specter of darkness, but I swear to you that both of those monsters can bleed. And whatever foul ichor flows through those veins, I swear to you that it WILL! RUN! COLD!"

In a studio, Bobby Hennan has words for the fans. He says that tonight Meng couldn't stop Rick Steiner from winning, but that failure wasn't because of him. "It was because a champion doesn't do his own dirty work! It's the rest of my so-called new Heenan Family who should have been out there doing what had to be done to Rick Steiner! Because they couldn't, or wouldn't, the future World Champion, the Merciless Meng, was forced to sully himself with grunt work! Of course a Champion can't do grunt work properly, it's not his job! But Meng does have one job he never fails at, and that's destroying wrestlers in the ring! AND YOU CAN BET THAT'S JUST WHAT HE'LL DO AT SLAMBOREE TO THE DOG-FACED GREMLIN!"

The Thrillseekers vs The Navigators! The robotic rockstars are working that stiff Japanese style once again, and the announce team speculates that this is more practice for the No DQ environment, where it's going to be all about hard hits. Sonny Oono directs Lucky Tonzura's efforts against Lance Storm, and someone seems to have hit the turbo button on Tonzura because he's moving with unusual speed. Hit hits some major striking offense and Lance struggles to get anything going. Only when Tonzura lets up and uses an Irish Whip to set up a lariat does Storm come back, landing a nice flying crossbody and going to the mat to work on Tonzura's knee and ankle. Tonzura quickly slows down and Lance continues to attack the leg to set up the Canadian Maple Leaf. Finally, he throws Tonzura into the ropes, ducks down to catch the leg... AND EATS THE YAKUZA KICK!
Lance goes out like a light, but Tonzura kicked with his weakened leg and topples like a ton of bricks as well. Sonny goes mental trying to coax the damaged metal man back to make the tag to Gorgeous, and Lance barely seems to know where he is. Christian riles up the audience, getting them to clap and make noise so Lance knows where to go, and through their efforts he makes the hot tag just as the DJ enters the ring. Christian is a firebrand, running circles around Gorgeous with high-tempo attacks and putting him on the mat only to stalk him and do it again every time he stands. Gorgeous tries to fight back with some big kicks and lariats, but Christian dances around them effortlessly. Finally, Christian locks in the Showstopper and nails it, hooking the leg for the pinfall.
After the match, Brian James and James Winchester come out. Brian cracks a few jokes about how the hottest young stars in the company need the Plus Size Beastie Boys to take care of their business for them. "But lets get down to brass tacks here. You think you've got J+J+J over a barrel with this no DQ nonsense? Let me tell you something kiddies, when you were still showing teacher the baby teeth you got knocked out by a dodge ball, the Jamses were breaking bottles in biker bars, slugging it out with sailors in dockside slums, and breaking bones in backalley brawls. Ya'll are everything wrong with the 1990s, this clean cut bullshit trying to pass itself off as tough and extreme to sell t-shirts to 10 year olds. Thrillseekers? The only thing you're seeking on Sunday are our fists down your throats. And trust us boys, without any DQ's we're gonna take our sweet time getting them there, and when we're through we'll be one step away from being TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS OF THE WOOOOOOOOOOOOORLD!"
He passes the mic to Winchester, who concludes with, "and if you're not down with that, WE GOT FOUR WORDS FOR YA! KISS MY BAD rear end!"

Backstage, Dusty Rhodes interviews Hulk Hogan! Unusually, his tone is rather muted at first, as if he's exasperated about something. "Let me tell you somethin' Dream. The Giant is a drat fool. He was a flea-market champion. He was an idiot in the dungeon, and he's a bigger idiot now. Hulkamania isn't some carnival sideshow brother, it's a fundamental truth! People keep telling me my time is up, and he's better than the other's I've faced before, that this time will be different. It won't be... IT WON'T BE! I WON'T LOSE TO GIANT! EVERYONE THINK'S I'M GONNA LOSE TO GIANT! WHY WON'T YOU ALL JUST SHUT YOUR MOUTHS! NONE OF YOU GET IT! HULKAMANIA CAN'T DIE! YOU NEED HULKAMANIA! EVERY, SINGLE, MAN IN THIS BUSINESS WOULD BE IN THE GUTTER WITHOUT HULKAMANIA! EVEN I'D BE IN THE... NO, LOOK, HULKAMANIA IS ETERNAL JACK! AND GIANT JUST... JUST SHUT UP! SUNDAY! BIG BOOT! BIG LEG! DONE!"
Hogan walks off ranting and knockings things over. A stunned Dusty can think of nothing to say and simply throws back to the announcers.

Chris Benoit vs Alex Wright! In an unusual move, the Cruiserweight Champion has elected to take on the Crippler on the same night he wrestled in tag action, although without his title on the line. Ventura praises the heart and prowess of this true Champion, but Tenay thinks this might be a sign of arrogance more than anything else... or perhaps that he's counting on Arn Anderson once again costing Benoit a victory.
The match is quite even at every step of the way. Both men have a technically oriented style and they match blows and counter holds fabulously. Wright gains an edge when he switches to a few up-tempo Cruiserweight attacks, landing a lovely springboard senton and a bouncing off the ropes to land a dropkick to the knee. Benoit fights back with pure power, literally knocking Wright out of the air with a European uppercut! A corner catapult and some turnbuckle punches stun the champ and lead to everyone's favorite, the Rolling Triple German Suplex! Now firmly in control, Benoit targets the neck and shoulder, prepping for the Crossface.
However, the Cruiser Champ isn't out of the fight just yet, as he counters a wristlock with an Irish whip and nails Benoit with a headscissors takedown, and puts him in an double chickenwing! Benoit counters by rolling over and bridging, pinning Wright's shoulders! 1...2... Wright releases the hold and powers out. The Cruiser Champ gets up first and stalks a hurt Benoit, looking for the Jaeger Breaker. He grabs the arm, whips Benoit into position... but the Rabid Wolverine grabs Wright around the throat with his free arm and counters with an inverted vertical suplex, planting Wright face-first onto the canvas! Benoit immediately goes for the Crossface... and it's locked in! Wright has no choice but to tap!
Benoit plays to the crowd on his way back up the entrance ramp after his win... and is jumped from behind by Arn Anderson! Arn has a chair, and begins to mercilessly batter Benoit's back with monster shots! Despite Arn's earlier bravado, he clearly enjoys the cowardly sneak attack and taunts Benoit's fans and Canada in general. After a few more big slaps across the back, Anderson sets the chair down, picks up his former protégé, and signals for the Spinebuster right on the double-steel... but he is stopped by a run-in from Sting! The commentary team call back to last Halloween Havoc, when it was a Spinebuster onto a chair on the ramp that cost Sting the Championship, and it seems he's seen enough. The Stinger unloads on Anderson and forces him to retreat.
Benoit slowly stands, and Sting makes no move to help him. Tenay notes that the bad blood between a Horseman and a former New Horseman runs deep, and Sting clearly hasn't forgotten Benoit's role in Arn's reign of terror. The Crippler and The Man Called Sting share a tense stare down... and then both men break eye contact and take separate routes to the back.

Backstage in the locker room, Too Cold Scorpio is having a chat with Sabu. Too Cold questions if Sabu did the right thing attacking the Nation last week, and says antagonizing maniacs like them could be bad for him and Van Dam with their tag match looming. Sabu plays it off as just a little skirmish and some mind games, nothing to get concerned about. Scorpio doesn't seem convinced, but Sabu just says its time for their match and rolls out of the room.
Team X-Treme (Scorpio & Sabu) vs Wallstreet Enterprises. This match was pretty chaotic from the get-go. Kanyon and Scorpio started things off, but they'd only traded a few moves before Wallstreet interjected himself in the match. Being a hothead, Sabu didn't take kindly to this and they were brawling on the outside (and occasionally the inside) throughout the rest of the bout. Scorpio seemed to be outclassing Kanyon fairly handily with a variety of acrobatic moves, and the VP was taking some brutal looking bumps.
After Scorpio landed a big Samoan Drop, he went up top looking for the Dis That Don't Miss... and the 450 connects to a big pop! Scorpio heads over for the cover BUT THE NATION OF DOMINATION ATTACK! Simmons grabs both Kanyon AND Scorpio, taking no prisoners as he tears them both apart, and Nelson and Muhammad hit Wallstreet and Sabu with tandem suicide dives! The ref calls off the match making the ending a No Contest.
The Nation gleefully destroys both the heels and the faces, probably because you don't get much closer to The Man than a corporate CEO. They leave their opponents dead on the floor and stand tall, taunting the audience.

Prior to the Main Event, we are treated to Flair and Savage in the ring together! Flair discusses Curt Hennig, and how the Flawless Diamonds have been among the greatest threats ever faced by the Horsemen. "I ain't gonna lie, we've been getting our asses kicked up one side and down the other from minute one! Every step of this war, the Diamonds have beaten down our team and left us bloody. Our victories have been few, and out humiliations many. But folks, THIS! AIN'T! OVER! YET! And His Almighty Flawlessness Mr. Kurt Hennig, you have made the BIGGEST MISTAKE! OF! YOUR LIFE! You thought that by 'distracting' Luger you were helping Nash? WHAT'S NASH GONNA BE WHEN LUGER PINS YOU AND TAKES YOUR PRECIOUS AWA TITLE? The Total Package Lex Luger is ten times the man any of you Diamond scum could ever hope to be. And you've got the solemn word of the NATCHA BOY that he is going to cut the head off of the Flawless Diamonds THIS SUNDAY! In closing: THE HORSEMEN, ARE GONNA END THIS FUED ONCE AND FOR ALL! AND YOUR LITTLE SECRET CLUBHOUSE IS GONNA BURN TO THE GROUND! WOOOO!"
Flair struts as Savage carries on. "It's a shame, yeah, a drat shame. After Slamboree I'll never have the chance to break Curt Hennig with my own two hands, yeah. See, when I won this title the Road Warrior, by friend Hawk, the man who knows Hennig better than ANYONE, he told me that I could stop the Flawless Diamonds. He told me that I would INSTRUMENTAL in their downfall, yeah. But now it seems like the Horsemen are going to do all the work. drat shame, yeah. BUT YOU KNOW, AS LONG AS I GET MY HANDS ON THAT BIG FREAKSHOW KEVIN NASH, I CAN LIVE WITH THAT! Lex Luger will destroy thier leader in six days time, yeah, but it is just as critical is that the Flawless Diamonds never defile the WCW Championship! And as your champion, the Champion of my Extended Family, I can guarantee that that will never happen on my watch, yeah! The Diamonds will fall this Sunday, of that I have no doubt! BUT BEFORE THEY DO, THE MACHO MADNESS IS GOING TO INFECT THEIR MINDS! IT'S GONNA FRY THEIR SYNAPSES, YEAH! IT'S GONNA BOGGLE THEIR EQUILIBRIUMS, YEAH! THE MACHO MAN IS THE WCW CHAMPION, AND NO MATTER WHAT KEVIN NASH WANTS, HE WILL BE STRUCK DOWN! And don't think I've forgotten you King Regal, oh no. You made a foolish decision, you backed the wrong horse, YEAH! You can try to get past my friend Hawk, you can try to interfere in our match, but I guarantee you one thing: at the end of the day, your friend Nash is going down for the ONE! TWO! THREE! And when he does, that little dynasty you were talking about? It'll end before it began. OH YEAAAAAH!"
And Now, The Main Event! Luger, Flair, Savage and Hawk vs Hennig, Nash, Hall and Regal. This match really serves as a showcase for all the pieces of these two intertwining feuds. Hawk and Hennig open the bout and throw down without any finesse, reminding us of the bad blood left behind by Hennig's betrayal of his tag partner. Hawk gets a slight edge with some good old Road Warrior no-selling of Hennig's offense, but the Flawless Diamond fights back with a big suplex and tags out to Nash. Nash batters Hawk with his standard rounds of big man offense, using his reach and height to loom large over the hurt Road Warrior and force him out. Hawk tags in the Champ, and Savage is immediately all over Nash as he remains not the slightest bit in fear of Big Sexy.
Nash and Savage scrap and trade a few flashy moves, but when Savage lands a jumbo sized inverted atomic drop Nash decides to beg off obnoxiously, putting the ref between himself and the Macho Man. He makes the tag to Hall, how stalks the Champ and hits a nasty power slam. He locks in a rest hold and squeezes Savage's head, taunting the crowd about how tough their champ looks now, but the Macho Man isn't champ for nothing and soon powers his way out and reverses into a half-nelson... which becomes a half-nelson slam! Savage tags in Luger, and Hall immediately decides discretion is the better part of valor and gives the tag to Regal. The Total Package and the King square off, Luger's overwhelming strength matched well by Regal's agility and precision strikes targeting various joints.
The contest seems quite even... but Luger pulls off a shocking counter when he tosses Regal into the ropes and lifts him strait into the Torture Rack! The Diamonds don't hesitate and The Outsiders immediately enter the ring and break up the submission with a double-clothesline... and from there things run out of control. Flair jumps in to help Luger, targeting Hall first and chopping the hell out of him, and Savage and Hawk both pounce on Nash, showing some oldschool Road Warrior's tandem moves to the crowd! Hennig enters the ring, trusting his mates to handle the faces so he can begin dissecting Luger. The ref is desperate to not call for a No Contest since one has already happened, and tries to force the men apart.
Hall, Nash, Hawk, Savage and Flair all take their fighting to the outside, but Hennig is still attacking Luger, dragging him off the mat and looking for a power bomb... but Luger counters by standing, sliding Hennig down his back, and delivering and Alabama Slam! Luger signals for his running forearm smash, the Luger Bullet, and runs the ropes as Hennig gets to his feet.... but Regal takes the hit! Hennig retreats, and Luger considered going after him, but he clearly remembers his humiliation as Nash's hands and elects to go for the win, pinning Regal clean as the madness outside the ring continues.
The chaos of the match's finale breaks down further as Hennig joins the Outsiders in the fight! The Macho Man, Nature Boy, Road Warrior all tee off on the Flawless Diamonds, and when Luger joins them the tide turns. Regal soon recovers and joins in as well! Fists and feet fly as the two groups try to destroy each other, looking to settle their differences tonight instead of waiting for the pay per view! Luger grabs Hennig by the throat, Nash knocks Savage to the ground and starts stomping a mudhole, Flair chops Hall in the corner and WOOs in his face, Regal chokes Hawk on the ropes... and the cameras fade out because we're out of time! See you at Slamboree!

Great go-home show! The event was in Canada so the crowd wasn't as hot as usual for most of the guys, but the stars did awesome and Benoit got a warm welcome. I'd give it a solid B-.
