Tournament Semi-Finals

Chris Benoit kicked off the proceedings by defeating Jeff Jarrett in a thrilling World Heavyweight Title Tournament semi-final match. The Crippler's Crossface submission proved too much for the King of Kings, securing the win in 9:27 minutes.

In the other tournament semi-final, Bret Hart and Sting clashed in a hard-hitting encounter. The Excellence of Execution's technical prowess ultimately outmaneuvered the Stinger, as he advanced to the finals with a 9:27 minute victory.

Title Matches

Evan Karagias made history by becoming the new WCW World Cruiserweight Champion, defeating Disco Inferno in a fantastic match. Norman Smiley also got on the title-winning bandwagon, besting Brian Knobbs for the WCW Hardcore Championship.

Tag Team Chaos

The Revolution (Asya, Dean Malenko, and Perry Saturn) emerged victorious from the Six-Man Tag Team Elimination Match against The Filthy Animals (Eddie Guerrero, Kidman, and Torrie Wilson). This wild and woolly contest saw the Revolution prove their strength in 10:55 minutes.

Loser Must Retire

Buff Bagwell faced off against Curt Hennig in a Loser Must Retire match. Despite his best efforts, the American Nightmare fell short, as Buff earned the win via pinfall in 7:47 minutes.

Chain Reaction

United States Championship

Scott Hall successfully defended the WCW United States Title against Booker T, retaining the gold in 6:04 minutes.

Love and Controversy

In a singles match that raised more questions than answers, David Flair faced Kimberly. Unfortunately, this encounter ended in a no contest after interference from both competitors' significant others (David's wife, Miss Jacqueline, and Booker's valet, Sharmelle).

I Quit Match

The main event saw Goldberg face off against Sid Vicious in an I Quit match. The crowd was on the edge of their seats as these two powerhouses clashed. In the end, Goldberg's dominance proved too much for the Master of Pain, securing the win and forcing Sid to submit in 5:30 minutes.

Tournament Finals

The tournament reached its climax with Bret Hart facing off against Chris Benoit in the finals. The Excellence of Execution's technical expertise ultimately prevailed, as he secured a second victory over Benoit and earned the right to challenge the WCW World Heavyweight Champion at the next PPV event.
