We are live from Winston Salem, NC with our hosts Eric Bischoff, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, and Steve "Mongo" McMichael. Heenan talks about the main event six-man tag team strap match between Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, and The Booty Man vs. Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, and Kevin Sullivan. This match will also be a lumberjack match. What the F---!?!?!
The opening match is the really lame Giant vs. Hacksaw Jim Duggan match. Duggan's early right hands have no effect on The Giant as Giant clubs Duggan. Nothing much going on in this match as the only exciting thing as we see Brian Pillman going nuts in the stands holding up a sign that shows some sort of 1-900 number.
They are making this out like it's not supposed to happen as they try not to show him and Bischoff goes over to security to make sure they get him out of the arena, which they do. Duggan hits Giant with his taped fist. Jimmy Hart interferes trying to stop Duggan only for Duggan to knock him out of the ring. The Giant gives Duggan the Chokeslam when he turns around for the 1-2-3 for too long of a match.
This past weekend in WCW Motorsports, Steve Grissom came all the way from the 43rd and last starting position to finish a strong fourth at Atlanta.
The next match is supposed to be The Road Warriors vs. The Nasty Boys. The Road Warriors are in the ring but The Nasty Boys don't come out. Instead The Steiner Brothers came out in their place riding Harley Davidsons down to the ring. The Steiners are back in WCW and they will wrestle The Road Warriors.
Eric Bischoff tells us the Nastys were attacked backstage and taken to the local hospital and there's no word on if it were the Warriors or Steiners or someone else who attacked them. Scott Steiner starts off with Hawk. Hawk gives Scott a hiptoss and then some chops.
Scott blocks another hiptoss attempt and gives Hawk a belly-to-belly suplex. Scott continues to give Hawk some more suplexes and gives the "up yours" sign to Animal. Hawk headbutts Scott out of another suplex attempt and gives him a Flying clothesline. After giving Scott a reverse neckbreaker, Hawk puts his head down only for Scott to give him a double-underhook suplex.
Scott tags in his brother Rick as he runs around the ring barking. Hawk then tags in Animal. Animal gives Rick a powerslam and a dropkick. Rick reveres an Irish whip and gives him two Steinerlines to take him off his feet. He then gives Animal a German Suplex. Rick gives him a Belly-to-Belly Suplex and then tags in Scott who does the same to Animal.
Scott puts Animal in a reverse chinlock only for Hawk to run in and kick Scott in the head to break it up. Scott missed badly on a dropkick but Animal still goes down only for two. Both Animal and Scott knock each other out and Animal gets up and tags Hawk.
Hawk runs wild on both Steiners as Animal clotheslines Rick in the corner setting up the Doomsday Device. They hit it on Rick but Scott breaks up the pin. Scott sends Animal to the floor as Rick is about to hit the Flying Bulldog on Hawk, but Animal prevents that. Scott hits Hawk with a clothesline from the top just as Animal does the exact same to Scott.
Scott gives Animal the Frankensteiner, but only gets a two-count. He sends Animal to the outside while hoisting Hawk on his shoulders so Rick can hit him with the Flying Bulldog, which he hits. Animal then hits Rick with one his spiked shoulder pads and Hawk covers Rick for the 1-2-3. This was one hell of a match.
Gene Okerlund talks to the Steiners about taking the Nasty Boys' place and returning to WCW on Harleys. They say they wanted to come back to WCW where the competition is. They also say it's not over between them and The Road Warriors.
The next match was supposed to be the rematch from WCW Saturday Night between new TV Champion Lex Luger and former champion Johnny B. Badd after Luger beat Badd for the title last Saturday night. However, Badd is not here as Alex Wright takes his place against Luger.
Badd must have left WCW as Eric Bischoff rips on Badd saying he didn't want to show up tonight because he wasn't "up for it." He also said "Johnny must not have been able to hang with the big boys!" and also mocked him for blaming Kimberly for losing the TV Title. Yeah Badd must be done and if not, he's done now for being shit on live TV.
That's probably why he lost the title to Luger. I'd rather the belt be around Diamond Dallas Page's waist or better yet someone like Chris Benoit or Eddie Guerrero or Dean Malenko. Or heck, I'd even rather have Alex Wright win the belt tonight from Luger but that definitely won't happen. Shouldn't Luger have to forfeit either his TV or Tag Team Titles since he can't have more than one title at a time?
Anyways Wright had Luger in an armbar. Luger escapes only to be taken down with a headscissors and then Wright sends him to the floor with a dropkick. Wright then dives over the ropes onto Luger on the floor. Back in the ring and Wright hits a flying double ax handle for two.
Wright tries a crossbody out of the corner only for Luger to catch him and give him Snake Eyes. Luger takes control but goes for a corner charge only to be met with a boot to the face. Wright hits him with a Missile Dropkick. Wright then goes up top for his finisher when Jimmy Hart comes to the ring and grabs Wright's foot.
Wright fights him off and goes for his flying bodypress only for Luger to catch him. Luger then drops him throat-first onto the top rope for the 1-2-3 to retain the title in a rather weak finish. Hart is celebrating with Luger as Luger does not want any part of him. Wright did well in the match and carried Luger.
The main event is a rather lame Six-Man Tag Team Leather Strap Match between Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, and The Booty Man vs. Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, and Kevin Sullivan. Oh yeah this is also a Lumberjack Match with about 15-20 men around the ring and they each have leather straps to whip you if you are on the outside.
The two most notable Lumberjacks are The Giant and Loch Ness. Early on, the fight goes to the floor with The Giant holding Hogan so Flair can chop him. Loch Ness wants to whip Hogan only for him to accidentally whip The Giant when Hogan moved out of the way.
The Giant and Loch Ness then brawl as they leave the ring area and brawl all the way to the back. In the ring everyone is just whipping each other. Diamond Doll Kimberly comes down to the ring to get a good look at The Booty Man since Johnny B. Badd is no longer in WCW I guess that's her new "boyfriend" and just like that she leaves.
The babyfaces are in complete control and Flair tries to bail out of the match. However, Road Warrior Animal does his Lumberjack duty and prevents him from leaving and brings him back into the ring. Hogan nails Flair with the Big Boot and the Leg Drop for the 1-2-3.
The losing team is interviewed by Gene Okerlund as they say Hogan won tonight but won't at Uncensored. Flair says he wants to end Hulkamania and we are out.
