ZOHASH.COM EXCLUSIVE: WCW's "New Blood Rising" Delivers Thrills and Spills in Daytona Beach
July 9th, 2000 - Daytona Beach, Florida - The Ocean Center played host to World Championship Wrestling's latest pay-per-view extravaganza, "New Blood Rising". This sweltering summer evening saw a stacked card of matches featuring some of the promotion's top talent. Yours truly was on hand to witness the action unfold.
Cruiserweight Chaos
The night began with Lt. Loco putting his WCW World Cruiserweight Championship on the line against the high-flying Juventud Guerrera. This fast-paced opener showcased both men's incredible aerial abilities, with Loco ultimately emerging victorious in a 12:07 time-limit match.
Hardcore Havoc
Next up was Big Vito defending his WCW Hardcore Title against Ralphus. In a surprisingly physical encounter, Vito managed to outlast Ralphus in an action-packed 5:56 affair. The post-match shenanigans saw Vito's nemesis, Norman Smiley, making an appearance.
Wedding Bell Blues
In a bizarre and somewhat cringe-worthy segment, Daffney took on Miss Hancock in a "Wedding Gown Match". This absurdity played out as expected, with Daffney emerging triumphant after just 4:14 of action. The aftermath saw the newlywed couple (Daffney and her new beau, Billy Kidman) celebrating their union.
Tag Team Tussle
KroniK (Brian Adams and Bryan Clarke), the reigning WCW World Tag Team Champions, successfully defended their titles against The Perfect Event. This hard-hitting encounter showcased the strength and power of both teams before KroniK ultimately emerged victorious.
Kanyon's Comeuppance
Positively Kanyon put his singles undefeated streak on the line against Booker T. In a competitive 10:04 match, Kanyon ultimately fell to the challenger's superior skills.
US Title Showdown
Mike Awesome challenged Scott Steiner for the WCW United States Championship in the next contest. This intense battle saw Awesome emerge victorious after an impressive 9:09 performance.
Graveyard Grudge Match
The evening's penultimate match featured Vampiro facing off against The Demon in a Graveyard Match. In a dark and foreboding atmosphere, these two supernatural entities clashed in an 8:07 encounter that only one could emerge victorious from.
Franchise Frenzy
Chris Benoit (aka "The Franchise") made quick work of Buff Bagwell in their singles match, securing the win in just 7:52. This dominant performance left little doubt as to who's the superior competitor.
Hogan's Heroics
In the main event, Hulk Hogan faced off against Jeff Jarrett for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. In a thrilling contest that lasted only 1:19 (yes, you read that correctly - just over one minute!), Hogan successfully defended his title and proved once again why he's an all-time great.
Goldberg's Dominance
The evening concluded with Goldberg taking on Kevin Nash in a singles match. As expected, the unstoppable Goldberg emerged victorious after a 5:27 performance that left Nash reeling.
Title Turmoil
In a shocking turn of events, Booker T capitalized on Hogan's post-match celebration to cash-in his rematch clause and capture the WCW World Heavyweight Championship from Hogan.
There you have it, folks - another thrilling installment of WCW's "New Blood Rising" has come and gone. What did you think of this event? Share your thoughts with us here at ZOHASH.COM!
