The Baltimore Arena played host to WCW's latest pay-per-view extravaganza, and what an event it was! The sold-out crowd of 7,031 witnessed some truly unforgettable moments as the promotion's top talent put on a show for the ages. Here's a rundown of the night's action:

Cruiserweight Championship Match: Lt. Loco successfully defended his WCW World Cruiserweight Title against Disco Inferno in a thrilling four-minute-and-fifty-four-second contest. The high-flying Lt. Loco showcased his aerial prowess, landing a series of impressive moves en route to victory.

Tag Team Championship Contendership Match: KroniK (Brian Adams and Bryan Clarke) edged out The Mamalukes (Big Vito and Johnny the Bull) in a hard-hitting nine-minute-and-twenty-second match. This dominant display by the powerhouse duo has them firmly in line for a shot at the WCW World Tag Team Titles.

Ambulance Match: Mike Awesome's sheer strength proved too much for Diamond Dallas Page, as he scored a convincing victory in this intense, action-packed nine-minute-and-forty-one-second contest. The aftermath saw Awesome deliver a devastating Awesome Bomb off the ambulance to send DDP crashing to the ground.

Boot Camp Match: GI Bro emerged victorious from this grueling twelve-minute-and-ten-second bout against Shawn Stasiak. Despite some spirited resistance from his opponent, GI Bro's relentless training regimen allowed him to assert his dominance and secure the win.

Table Match: The Franchise and The Wall engaged in a brutal eight-minute-and-forty-second battle, with the former emerging victorious after sending his opponent crashing through a table.

WCW United States Championship Two-On-One Handicap Asylum Match: Scott Steiner's cunning and strength proved too much for Rick Steiner and Tank Abbott. In just three minutes and thirty seconds, Scott Steiner dispatched both opponents to remain WCW United States Champion.

Retirement vs. Title Shot Match: Hulk Hogan's legendary status was put to the test as he faced Billy Kidman in an eleven-minute-and-thirty-six-second contest. Hogan's determination to secure a title shot proved too much for Kidman, who ultimately fell victim to the Hulkster's patented leg drop.

Flair Family Retirement Match: Ric Flair and David Flair clashed in a tense ten-minute-and-fourteen-second match that saw the elder statesman emerge victorious. This emotional victory marked Ric Flair's official retirement from professional wrestling.

Human Torch Match: Vampiro's dark magic proved no match for Sting, who emerged triumphant after an intense seven-minute-and-twenty-two-second battle. The aftermath saw Sting deliver a scorching Splash to the Human Torch, cementing his dominance in this bizarre encounter.

WCW World Heavyweight Championship Match: Jeff Jarrett's cunning and ruthlessness allowed him to outmaneuver Kevin Nash en route to a sixteen-minute-and-twenty-two-second victory. This win solidified Jarrett's position as WCW World Heavyweight Champion.
