Match Four: ‘Lord’ Steven Regal w/Jeeves vs. ‘Hacksaw’ Jim Duggan
A bit of stalling on Regal’s part to start off. Duggan in control for most of this matchup. Duggan looks to be going for the pin, when Squire Dave Taylor and Earl Robert Eaton pop up, steal the 2x4 and distract the ref respectively, and help Regal get the pin on Duggan.
Winner by pinfall: ‘Lord’ Steven Regal
Postmatch, Hacksaw chases Dave Taylor out of the arena.
Eh, Regal won, which is nice. He looks to be getting something resembling a push. Duggan though had most of the offense, which isn’t nice. *
Mean Gene again interviews Steven Regal. This is more to put over the match between Sting and Regal at the Great American Bash.
After the break, we get a video of what‘s been going on WCW Saturday Night between Benoit and Kevin Sullivan and the war of words feud between those two. They’re going to have a match at Great American Bash
Match Five: Kevin Sullivan w/Jimmy Hart vs. Prince Iaukea
Another squash, another two minute match. Sullivan wins with a double stomp.
Winner by pinfall: Kevin Sullivan
N/R
Mean Gene now in the ring interviewing Sullivan and Hart. Hart doesn’t know why the DoD are allied to the Four Horsemen. Sullivan says that he trusts Arn and Flair, and knows that once Hogan comes back, that there will be two wars, going on. One the WCW legal department can take care of, and the one between Hogan and DoD/Four Horsemen. Well, he’s partly right. Aside from that, he hypes up his match against Benoit at GAB.
Match Six: Rock ‘n Roll Express (Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson) vs. Arn Anderson and Ric Flair w/Woman and Miss Elizabeth
RnR Express were one of the biggest tag teams of the 80s, so much so that the wrestler that takes the most offense in a tag team match is said to be playing Ricky Morton (as I’ve used several times in this before.) Flair and Anderson out in a Kevin Greene and Mongo McMichael jersey, respectively. During the intro, the audio from Tony and Larry is barely audible.
At the beginning of the match, we have a little animation of a dynamite counting down to the start of the second hour. Man, they really hyped the hell out of the two hour show. We get a quick fireworks display to start hour two.
Morton plays himself relatively well during this match. Arn and Flair work over Morton relatively well during the match, though Morton and Gibson are able to hold their own relatively well. Near the end of the match, Heenan goes down to ringside. He says something to Woman and Elizabeth, then makes his way to the VIP section.
Gibson finally gets the hot tag from Morton, and Gibson is in clearing house. Double dropkick on Flair and Arn. Elizabeth distracts the ref as Woman has a thumb to the eye of Gibson. Arn hit’s a DDT, and Flair picks up the win.
Winner by pinfall: Arn and Flair
Good tag team match. RnR Express are vets in the ring and though they looked well past their prime here, they could still go. Arn and Flair easily held their own as well. ***
Mean Gene at the VIP section with Flair, Arn, Woman, Elizabeth, and Heenan. Arn says that Mongo’s jersey could barely fit him. Must’ve been a small. Flair cuts a typical promo on Greene and Mongo.
He then speaks to Heenan, and asks him directly if he’s managing. Heenan. Heenan states he’d never manage again. However, Heenan will coach Flair and Anderson.
Yet another Hogan package.
We get a new Blood Runs Cold promo. This time, it specifically names Glacier as coming to WCW. It’s still a few months for that.
