YO, I JUST SAW MONDAY NITRO, IT'S THE GO HOME SHOW FOR THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH! SOMEBODY ELSE WROTE THIS RECAP, I'M TOO HYPE TO TYPE! IT GOT ME SO HYPE, I MAY JUST STAY HYPE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!

Nitro kicks off with the Eric Bishoff Show! Tonight's special guest if The Man They Call Sting! Bischoff asks Sting about being added to the Tag Title match, and about Lex Luger's reaction to the news. Sting answers "Lex will bounce back. It wasn't all that long ago that I was in a dark place, letting my anger get the better of me, feeling like I couldn't win and had no friends. But the Total Package is a Horseman! If we need him, he'll be there, and before you know it he'll be back on top."
Sting is interrupted when the interview is crashed by The Thrillseekers! Christian asks where Sting and Flair get off sticking their noses into in their title match and saying they can't beat the Outsiders. Sting tells Christian to calm down. "Remember that speech you made last week, about how the most important thing right now is protecting WCW from the scum trying to exploit it? Well kid, you're not talking to a leech who's after money. The Stinger is The Franchise in WCW! There's nobody more loyal to this company than me! If I were in your shoes and a couple of big name veterans got involved in the biggest match of my career, I'd be mad too. But if you and Lance care as much about WCW as you claim, then you should be happy to have us in there. The Horsemen being in the match alongside the Thrillseekers stacks the deck against the Diamonds!
Christian replies, ""That may be true Sting. But frankly, the Diamonds have been humiliating the Horsemen for MONTHS! Maybe the so-called veterans should be thinking about that. MAYBE the vaunted Four Horsemen aren't going to do anything but get in our way! But you know what, it doesn't matter. Because The Thrillseekers WILL be Tag Team Champions! And if we have to beat FOUR men instead of two to get there, so be it!" He drops the mike and they leave Sting with his hands on his hips shaking his head.

The crowd hears a loud "HEY!" and The Certified Sweetheart Beulah McGillicuty comes to the ring alone to call out Alex Wright. The Cruiser Champ (as well as his partner Doug Williams) oblige and he asks what she wants. Beulah uses some feminine wiles, dancing her fingers along his chest and all the way down to... the title belt "Alex, I'm sure you know that I'm all about giving people what they want. ANYTHING they want. A lot of people want to see your match with Madusa at the Great American Bash. But what they want even more is to see a man as strong, powerful and... virile as the Blue Blood Baron really show his DOMINANCE. And if you want my opinion, there's only one way you can do that... and that's if you add my client, Rey Misterio, to your match to make it a triple threat!"
Alex seems amused by her advances, and shoves her hand away from his gold, saying that he'd have to be an idiot to fall for a pretty face and endanger his championship like that. She changes tactics, "Well, I guess I know when I'm beaten. I mean, if I were you I'd be pretty afraid of Misterio too. He's the rising star of the Cruiserweights after all. But either way, I'm looking forward to seeing you wrestle Madusa. Just think Alex, you're going to have a place in the history books! The first man in professional wrestling to lose a world championship to a woman!""
This one gets under Wright's skin, and he screams that he'll never allow himself to be humiliated that way, "I have the blood of the greatest warriors and rulers of Europe flowing through my veins! I will NEVER disgrace my lineage by losing to a little girl! In fact, I'm going to crush her so completely, I don't even care if your little boy toy is in the match too! But not because your little 'trick,' fooled me, Sweetheart. Its because even two against one, a blonde bimbo and a midget are no challenge for Alex Wright!"
This leads to the night's first match! The New Blue Bloods vs. Rey Misterio, Jr. & Eddy Guerrero (w/ Beulah) vs Flawless Diamonds (Raven & Madusa)! A triumphant Rey and Eddy join Beulah, and Rey picks her up and spins her around in excited thanks while Williams talks intensely with his boss, but both teams get serious instantly when the Diamonds theme hits and Madusa and Raven walk out, clearly not happy about what just happened.
It's tornado tag rules with the heels on the same side of the ring and the faces on the far corner, and Eddy and Williams start off. Eddy keeps his eyes fixed on Raven, taunting him and telling him to tag in so they can fight, and Williams punishes Latino Heat for ignoring him with a sick european uppercut and then grabs him and goes for his signature suplex combo: snap into gutwrench into exploder! Williams mugs for the crowd as Eddy shakes off the nasty sequence and puts Raven out of his head to focus on the match, showing Williams how triple suplexes are done with the Three Amigos! Hurt but now even, the two lock up and Williams throws Eddy into the corner looking for a high knee, but Eddy dodges and counters with a neck-breaker.
Wright has seen enough and tags himself in, ducking under a clothesline so he can hit a spinning heel kick, setting up a headscissors takedown into a sleeper hold! Eddy struggles to stay conscious and drags Wright to his corner, reaching for Rey and the hot tag... but Wright drag him back toward heel territory. Eddy fades, his eyes start to flutter... and he uses all his remaining energy to break for the Diamonds corner and tag in Raven! Even Raven himself seems shocked, but quickly takes it to Wright, running the ropes to hit a shoulder block and going for flashy power moves to distract the audience from the fact that it's currently heel vs heel in the ring. Raven has momentum as he hits a vertical suplex and then drags his opponent into position for the Evenflow, but the TV Champion is countered with a shove to the ropes. Wright ducks the return clothesline and runs the ropes himself, leading to a Champion vs Champion midring double clothesline!
Both men are lost and confused after the big hit, and grope blindly around the ring, trying to find anyone who tag in... and it's a double hot tag as Raven reaches Madusa at the same moment Wright finds Rey Misterio! Rey and Madusa cut loose, both raging at how the other has screwed with their hopes for the Cruiser title and taking it out with their hardest hitting offense. Rey is a living torpedo with monster slingshot offense, but Madusa rolls with every impact and returns it with a powerful shot, using Rey's small size to impose her will. In the end, it all comes down to one single mistake. Madusa throws Rey into the neutral corner and goes for a flashy backflip flying elbow... and he dodges to the outside to instantly fire off the West Coast Pop out of nowhere! He grabs both legs, 1...2...3! Rey gets his win back against the Number One Contender! But Ventura is quick to remind us that all this means is that Sunday when the title is on the line is going to be the rubber match, or an opportunity for Alex Wright to leave both competitors tied at one a piece. We'll see who the best man... or woman.... really is in the end!

Backstage we find Glacier, Hashimoto and a fidgeting, uncomfortable Hawk meditating when they are confronted by James Mitchell, Wrath, Mortis and One Man Gang! Mitchell is holding an envelope with Japanese script down the center. "This isn't some Samurai movie, Hashimoto-san. You can't deliver me a letter of challenge and expect me to do what you want. Honor isn't in my vocabulary."
Hashi says he thinks that Mitchell will accept his challenge, and there will be a six-man tag match between Hawk, himself and Glacier against Gang, Wrath and Mortis at Great American Bash! Mitchell asks why Hashi thinks he would EVER agree to that. Hashi's voice grows cold. "You are losing control of the Great Muta. If you want it back, you'll need to focus all your attention on your favorite Demon. You can't do that as long as Glacier still exists and Wrath's desire to destroy him burns. You can't do it while Hawk and I are trying to save Power Warrior from within Mortis. So you will take this opportunity to destroy all your enemies in one fel swoop. Of course, I may be wrong about all those things... but I doubt it."
Mitchell glares and says that he will see Hashi Sunday. The heels leave... but Mortis lingers just a few seconds, locking eyes with Hawk before he departs.

Breath With Me! Chris Benoit vs Bam Bam Bigelow! The Rabid Wolverine faces off against the Beast From The East, who uses his size advantage to smother Benoit. Crushing blows and corner slams do big damage to the smaller man early on, Benoit weathers the storm and uses his technical prowress to fight back. When Bigelow goes for a body slam, he slides out from Bigelow's grip and counters with a snap suplex! Benoit attempts to wear the big man down with an armbar but Bigelow powers out and strikes back with a big underhook backbreaker, knocking the wind out of Benoit's sails.
Heenan directs his client to end the match now while has the change, and Bigelow ascends the turnbuckles, signaling for the moonsault! But Benoit has it scouted and kips up! He scrambles up behind The Beast and sends him crashing back to the mat with a second-rope German suplex! AND HE KEEPS HIS HANDS LOCKED AFTER THE FALL! German suplex two and three follow, leaving Bigelow down and out. The Crippler immediately locks in the Crossface, forcing Bigelow to tap out!"
Benoit cuts a promo after the match. ""I don't know why Muta wants to fight me so badly. But frankly, at this point, WHO GIVES A drat? The Crippler is not going to run! If Muta wants me, he's gonna get all he can handle! Back in Japan the rumor was The Great Muta couldn't be hurt, that he was too much of an animal to understand pain. This Sunday is going to be his first lesson. But even if they were right, and that means I can't make Muta submit, then I will BEAT HIM UNTIL HE STAYS DOWN! Hashimoto told me I needed to focus on survival above all else. I say whether it takes a Wild Pegasus or a Rabid Wolverine to do it, I WILL LEAVE THAT RING WITH MY HAND RAISED, OR I WON'T LEAVE IT!"

At the top of the ramp appears Brian James, here to warm the crowd up for his boy! "Perk up those ears, folks! It's your old friend Brian James! Since Slamboree it's been a dark road for the James Gang, kiddies. We got cheated, we got kicked in the dirt, and we got run over by three out of a possible Four Horsemen, and let me tell you my dermatologist did NOT appreciate having to treat my outbreak of horseshoe-shaped back-ne. But you can't keep a good James down, no matter how much you wish you could! And you can't keep the other two down either! Just between us, I gotta say, I do NOT envy whoever is going to get in the ring with my main man tonight, because he is looking to inflict some pain. So, without further ado... LLLLLLAAAADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BOYS AND GIRLS, CHILDREN OF ALL AGES! J+J+J proudly brings to you, that B-to-the-A-to-the-D, A-Double-Scorching-Sulfers.... THE BADASS! JAMES! WINCHESTER!"
James Winchester vs Booker T! Booker makes his way down the ramp quickly, checking over his shoulder for any rotten fruits that might be stalking him, but reaches the ring without incident. Winchester and Booker open the match with a test of endurance, pulling out a variety of strikes which neither man bothers to block, preferring to show their toughness and stay on offense. Winchester grows annoyed and switches to grappling, looking for leverage so he can pull our his power arsenal, but Booker proves too nimble and he finds his holds countered. Winchester soon suffers and Irish Whip and eats a roundhouse and then an elbow drop! Winchester recovers and pays Booker back with a stiff discus clothesline and an Alabama Slam! Both men seem ready for more... but suddenly a colorful fog fills the arena! From the entrance appears Booker’s curse, The Yummy Mummy!
Booker steals himself as the Mummy slowly approaches the ring! Winchester tries to take advantage of the distraction by locking in for a German but Booker is on his game and counters with an elbow shot! The Mummy continues to approach and Booker is forced to keep his attentions divided, giving Winchester more and more chances to strike. Desperate, Booker tries a surprise Roll Up! 1...2... kick out! By the time he's back up, the Mummy is on the apron! Booker delivers a drop kick just as he tries to get through the ropes and knocks the beast to the ground... but stays down for only a second before clambering back up! Booker throws up his hands in frustration... and suffers turnabout as he is rolled up by Winchester! James plants his feet on the ropes for leverage, but the ref doesn't see it from his angle! 1...2...3! Winchester steals one and flees from the opposite side of the ring as the Pharaoh of Flavor.
After the match, The Yummy Mummy tries to get back in the ring and Booker fights desperately to keep him out. The Mummy seems to take no damage no matter how many times Booker knocks him down and keep trying to get in... until The Giant's theme hits! But rather than running down to make the save, he's got his jumbo hand around the throat of a hostage: the Taskmaster, Kevin Sullivan! The Mummy stops moving, and Booker grabs a mic. "I agreed to wrestle Winchester tonight so that I could be bait. I needed this Mummy sicko right where I could see him, and now I'm gonna solve this mystery like Scooby Dooby, dog! See, it was no coincidence that Mummy first attacked while I was wrestling Evad Sullivan. It was no coincidence that the Mummy seems to be completely brainless and stronger than any other man... just like my boy Giant was when he hung around the Dungeon of Doom. But my suspicions weren't confirmed until Mr. Taskmaster himself came out after my match with Wallstreet! You wasn't there to send off a friend, dog, you was there to spy on your target! YOU brought the curse of the Yummy Mummy to WCW!"
Sullivan says it's all true. He wanted revenge on Giant for destroying the Dungeon of Doom and ending his career by forever baring him from challenging for the WCW Championship. "But I knew Giant is almost indestructible, so I targeted his only weakness, his only true friend.... YOU Booker! I had hoped to use the power of the Mummy to create an entire new Dungeon and reign over WCW once more, but now that I've been exposed all I care about is finishing my FINAL TASK... ending your career and haunting Giant forever!"
Booker tells Sullivan it's over, and if he doesn't call the Mummy off then Giant will put his fist right though the Taskmaster's twisted skull. Sullivan says that Booker is an idiot. "I only SUMMONED the Mummy, I don't control it! Once the curse has begun, it cannot be stopped... unless you can find some way to beat him in a match! Good luck beating someone who can't feel pain!" Sullivan laughs like a manic and Giant hits him with a Chokeslam on the ramp. Mummy once again tries to climb into the ring, but this time Booker retreats. Ventura notes that this will be the last time Booker can run - It's either defeat the Mummy, or succumb to the curse!"

Road Warrior Hawk and Shinya Hashimoto vs Mystery Opponents. A familiar siren sounds (not Scott Steiner's), and a video comes on the Turnertron showing two men walking down a hallway as a prison gate opens. Chains fall off their wrists and they step into the light... and Buddy Lee Parker and James Earl step onto the stage! Everyone's favorite evil cops are back, but the ring announcer bills them as "Recently released from the Dallas Country Correctional Facility," and dubs their team STATE PAROLE! They sneer at the crowd, ex-cons out to take what they want!
But bad news, they have to take on Road Warrior Hawk and Hashimoto in their first match back. Hawk starts off, and the heels have a debate about who has to take on the Road Warrior, finally settling on Earl. Earl actually starts off fired up, getting some big offense with a few big jabs and a back body drop... but unfortunately he's fighting a Road Warrior, and Hawk bounces back in seconds with a nasty clothesline and some stomps. Earl tries again and charges looking for a shoulder block, but Hawk counters it into an Irish Whip and hits a gutbuster! Earl's had enough at this point and tags in Parker, who charges and locks up with Hawk to keep him from going for Power Moves. Hawk struggles, trying to get free, but the larger and stronger member of the heel team seems to have him locked down... so Hawk delivers a headbutt!
Parker is pissed about this and uses pure power to force Hawk into position and lands a Power Bomb! Even a Road Warrior can't no-sell a move that strong, and Parker capitalizes by dragging Hawk back up... and dropping him against with a DDT! Cover, 1...2...KICK OUT! Parker is livid and gestures that the ref's count was too slow... allowing Hawk to recover just long enough hit the Inverted Atomic Drop! Parker is hurt, and Hawk is able to get the tag, allowing Hashimoto to bulldoze the hurt heel. Strikes and chops lead to a facebuster, and a vertical suplex! Parker is dead on his feet, and far from his partner, as Hashimoto signals the end. Tenay says it's time for The Shogun to show Parker how a DDT is really done... and he hits the Kusanagi! Cover, 1...2...3! Hashi wins!

It's Dusty's Roundup, and he's got Ric Flair... and a Louisville Slugger! Dusty asks Ric where he got the inspiration to use Baseball Bats as his equalizer against the Outsiders, and Flair says that Dusty shouldn't need anyone to remind him! "Back in the 1980's the Four Horsemen made one of their first marks on wrestling history by taking a baseball bat to the arm of none other than the American Dream Dusty Rhodes! AND BABY, WE SNAPPED THAT ARM LIKE A TWIG... no offense Dream." Dusty gets a bitter look on his face as the memories come flooding back, and Ric apologizes again, saying that he was a different man back then.
"But enough about the past! For the future, the Horsemen will only be using these bad boys for the right reasons. AND THERE'S NO BETTER REASON THAN KNOCKING OUTSIDER SKULLS RIGHT OUT OF THE PARK! WOOO! And if you think I'M nasty when it comes to bats, you should see the Stinger! Sting is the master of the Baseball Bat! The only thing higher than his batting average is his pile of broken bones!" Flair turns his Nature-Boyness up to 11 and rants more and more, eventually going berserk! He tears around the Dusty's Roundup set with his bat, battering it to pieces while continuing to talk about how the Horsemen will end the Outsiders. Dusty looks like he's having a Vietnam flashback and leaves, saying he's done with interview shows forever."

Meng (w/ Bobby Heenan) vs Local Jobber! The poor guy didn't stand a chance against the Merciless One. Meng tossed him about the ring like a ragdoll, pulling out a showcase of his full arsenal of signature moves just because the dude was basically helpless after the first two minutes. Heenan was laughing his rear end off, and Schiavone was saying somebody should stop the match. Ventura just said that as long as the kid is conscious, anything Meng does it fair game. Finally Meng gets bored and locks in the Tongan Death Grip to put the kid out and gets the pinfall once his shoulders flop to the mat.
After the match, Heenan takes the mic and cuts a promo, saying that he heard Savage wanted to send him a message. Well he got the message: that as usual the rest of his Family proved to be incompetent! But none of that matters, because Meng is the shining star of WCW, and Savage AND Steiner can consider the match just now a message themselves. "Meng will destroy Rick Steiner for the second time! Meng will be #1 Contender! And once he is, finally, after all these years, after decades of searching, Bobby "The Brain," Heenan will lead a man to the World Championship! And FINALLY, the fame and money that comes with it will be mine... er, ours!"

Diamond Dallas Page and Curt Hennig vs The Liverpool Lads (Doc Dean and Robbie Brookside). Another returning face, it's Robbie Brookside with grown out hair, billed as ""Wildcat,"" instead of Lord, and he's got a new partner, a smug looking youngster named Doc Dean! Together they're the Liverpool Lads, and they look excited for their first match on Nitro... until the Flawless Diamonds theme heralds the arrival of Curt Hennig AND Dallas Page, US and AWA titles in hand. The match starts off with Brookside taking on The Flawless Diamond one-on-one! He shows no fear as he gives Hennig a viscious knife-edged chop! But Hennig responds with an immediate tie-up into an arm drag into a neckbreaker! Brookside recovers and breaks out a dropkick that sends Hennig into the ropes... but he simply bounces back and hits a nasty lariat that knocks Brookside on his rear. Hennig looks annoyed and makes the tag, ordering DDP to crush the two youngsters, who also tag out during the exchange.
Page obliges his boss and takes it to Dean... but Dean is not about to be squashed! He goes hot against the US Champ, delivering some big kicks to the gut and a sunset flip! Page shakes off the attack and hits a Russian leg sweep to take the wind out of Dean, and follows up with an elbow drop, and then a sidewalk slam! Page covers... 1... KICK OUT! Page seems shocked that he didn't at least get the two, and immediately drags Dean back up for the Diamond Cutter... only to be cut off by Brookside, who assists his team-mate with a Northern Lights Suplex and gets back out before the five count! Dean tries to fire up the crowd, and sets up a vertical suplex, BUT PAGE COUNTERS INTO AN IMMEDIATE DIAMOND CUTTER! Brookside is shocked at the sudden nature of the finishers... which allows DDP to Diamond Cut him off the arpon! He gets back to his victim and hooks the leg, 1...2...3! DDP wins!"
After the match, Hennig calls Rick Rude out to the stage and demands to know what the hell he's thinking. "You book The Flawless Diamond himself and the US Champion in a meaningless tag match tonight, for what? To prove you were wearing your big boy pants? I was willing to humor you, but my patience only goes so far. And after adding the Horsemen to the Tag Match against the Outsiders, I'm liable to tip over at any second."
Rude response to Hennig is simple: "Shut your stinking trap, Curt! You may think you're the grand chessmaster, and you may have your little wrestling illuminati. But at the end of the day, but I'm still the commissioner! I book the matches! And if I think a match will bring in money or ratings I'll make it, and I don't care if it's you, Ric Flair or the almighty himself, anyone who doesn't like it can go to hell!"
Hennig seems stunned, but Rude is just warming up. "Now that we're clear on that, I've been talking to my little buddy Eric Bischoff. We've decided that a traditional Triple Threat for the tag belts isn't quite exciting enough for a show as important as the Great American Bash. And you know Eric, he's just full of ideas for new match stipulations. He's been watching the Thrillseekers put guys through tables. He watched the Horsemen bust your boys open with bats. He even watched what Hall and Nash did with that ladder a couple weeks ago, and we all know from history that when it comes to ladders, that's just the start of what Mr. Hall can do. So the old gears started turning, and and Bischoff came up with... a Ladder Match! But this is no ordinary ladder match. It's a ladder match where the Thrillseekers can put a body through a table without any fear of disqualification. It's a ladder match where the Horsemen can bust their opponents skulls with baseball bats and still walk out with the gold! It'll be a match like nothing anyone has seen before, an absolute smorgasbord of blood and carnage, and every man in it is allowed to bring their best weapons into the fray! Oh, and we even threw in a little present for Nash as a cherry on top: the name of this match... is B! L! T!... BATS! LADDERS! AND TABLES!"
The crowd comically starts to chant BLT! BLT! BLT! as Rude drops the mike and leaves Hennig and DDP in shock.

Ron Simmons (w/ Aaron Muhammad and Nelson X) vs another Jobber. No DQ match! Simmons absolutely crushes the guy, landing power slams and stiff forearm shots to the head. He hits blatant low blows several times, and then brazenly pulls out those brass knuckles that he used to beat Too Cold Scorpio, doing that famous raised fist salute before decking the local nobody. Although he could clearly win after the punch, Simmons elected to pick the kid up and hit the Dominator first just because he could, then finally pinned him.
After the match, The Nation mercilessly beat down the jobber. They pass him around and all hit power moves on him before throwing him out of the ring. Teddy Long joins them and each one takes turns pinning him on the arena mats as Teddy counts three. Tenay reminds us that one of Raven's Rules is that falls count anywhere, and the Nation is clearly sending a message, showing just how easily they plan to win on Sunday!

Backstage, Lex Luger kicks open the door to Regal's private locker room. "You know Regal, I despise you and every one of your scumbag Flawless Diamond friends. Do not think this is over just because you won one match!""
Regal is totally dismissive of Luger. "You fail to understand the place you've earned for yourself Sir Luger. It's not a matter of one match. EVERYONE has defeated you. You lost to the Outsiders. You lost to Lord Hennig. And now you've lost to your King. You are irrelevant now. Your piece has been removed from the board. As far as we are concerned, by all the laws of the battlefield, you have no right to even consider yourself a soldier. You are nothing but a shattered hero, crumbling into dust! Sting and Ric Flair? They still matter. Savage still matters. They are worthy enemies that must be put to the sword. But you, Lex Luger? In our eyes, you are already dead." He lets that sink in as Luger fumes, then he shrugs. "Then again, perhaps we are mistaken. Perhaps their is some strength left in The Total Package that the King's eyes cannot fathom. So if you think you can win back your pride, come at me. Here and now. Strike me down with all of your hatred. But there's an old saying I want you to consider before you raise your hand: if you come at the King... then you'd best not miss."
Luger glares hot, gets in close.... hesitates... then leaves. Regal smiles and whistles a jaunty tune.

The Main Event! Arn Anderson (with Hulk Hogan) vs. J. Brian Warrior! Ultimate Lawyer seems eager to face his assailant after stripping off his suit and booking it to the ring. Hogan cheers on Anderson from the outside as the two lock up, and Arn does not hesitate to use cheap tactics to get the upper hand early in the match. Anderson sweeps Warrior to the ground during a test-of-strength lock-up and throws him into an armbar, but Warrior is too close to the ropes and is able to get the a ropebreak. The Ultimate Lawyer uses the ropes to pull himself back to his feet but Anderson rebounds and drives his knee right into The Ultimate Lawyer's face! Double A sneers at the crowd and makes a show out of wiping some facepaint off his kneepad, but when he turns back to the action Warrior flies into him Anderson with a clothesline! Warrior runs the ropes and pumps his arms, feeling the spirit of the cosmos, then leaps over Anderson for the Ultimate Splash... but takes Anderson's knees to the gut! The Lawyer curls up in pain, and Anderson grabs him by his wild hair and cranks Warrior's neck to a disgusting angle and caps it off with a facewash, further messing up the facepaint.
But this cheap shot only serves to fire Warrior to his berserker peak! He overwhelms Anderson with an absolute tornado of forearms and fists, then hoists him over his head for a Gorilla Press Slam! But Anderson counter, wiggling free and landing on his feet behind Warrior, trapping him in an instant hammerlock and bull-rushing him into the corner! Warrior is stunned, and Anderson stalks him, looking for the Spinebuster the moment he turns... but Hogan grabs Warrior's ankles and sweeps him off his feet! Anderson is instantly livid, shouting at Hogan for his bone-headed "assist," and totally fails to notice notice Warrior get back to his feet! Hogan turns his back on Anderson, refusing to continue the argument like a three-year old, and Arn throws up his hands... allowing Warrior to once again throw him up into the Gorilla Press Slam! He drops Anderson with a huge thud, runs the ropes a full three times, then gets impressive air to his his Ultimate Splash at last! It's a closed case, and The Ultimate Lawyer covers Anderson for the 3-count!
After the match, Anderson is pissed. He grabs a mic and hashes it out with Hogan. "What the hell was that? You're supposed to help me you jackass! THAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS STUPID TEAM! Instead you bring me out to fight your battles for you and then you screw me over?! But hell, what's the surprise here? You've been choking ever since you suckered me into this business. And what the hell do I have to show for it? I sure as hell didn't get my World Title back! I turned by back on Benoit because I thought YOU were the kind of man I needed to get back on top, and all that got me was humiliation! And now this?""
Hogan tries to calm him "Now, let me tell you something Double A..." "NO HOGAN, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING! I AM NOT HIRED MUSCLE! I AM NOT YOUR ENFORCER! I AM ARN GOD drat ANDERSON! AND AS FAR AS ARN GOD drat ANDERSON IS CONCERNED... YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN!" The Megabusters Explode! Arn hits a Spinebuster on the Hulkster and walks out! Warrior roars to the crowd to celebrate this victory, and Tenay proudly stats that this time there will be no escape, dirty tricks or last minute help for Hogan: When Hulk Hogan meets J. Brian Warrior, the better man WILL prevail!

WCW, Nitro isn't finished and Sang had to run. Somebody please come in and finish the show so I can run it tonight.
