Wow, we only got clips but this really was phenomenal. Liger and Sasuke are a dream team, Sasuke pulls out some incredible high-flying moves, Liger is awesome as the elder statesman, Otani and Takaiwa pull off a major upset with Takaiwa pinning Liger and holy crap is this crowd red hot! I'd call this a holy grail, and it's really sad we don't have the whole thing.

Last few minutes. This was step two in Bischoff and Hogan trying to reset WCW in a last-ditch effort. Hogan is full-fledged babyface now, but is still dressed as Hollywood Hogan. Sid runs in to attack Hogan in plain sight of the referee, but this is a no DQ match. Sid is about to powerbomb Hogan when Sting shows up and fights him off. Savage is about to pin Hogan when Nash shows up and powerbombs Savage and gives Hogan the win. Second year in a row that Nash interferes in a Hogan-Savage match to give Savage a one-day reign and Hogan title win. Announcers being elated that Hogan won the title is ridiculously stupid. Nash interrupts the celebration to tell Hulk welcome back, but also that this is the second time he's handed him the belt. It's time for him to finally get a shot. Well there's a match that would have meant a lot a year earlier that means nothing now.

Torrie back with David like the Nash thing never happened? David has Ric, Arn, Torrie Wilson and Asya in his corner. Ric, David and referee Charles Robinson all having the same hairdo is pretty funny. Flair does his damndest to heat this up at ringside. Sting makes easy work of David, who tapes out but Charles Robinson ignores him and refuses to ring the bell. So Sting gives him a scorpion deathdrop and fights off Ric and Arn, just like old times. Asya comes in and Ric tries using her as a shield, but Sting does the Stinger Splash anyway. The heels bail.

Hogan and Bischoff were trying to reset things at this point and getting Ric Flair out of this angle was the first step. I can't say I disagree with that decision. Sting regrets letting Dean Malenko say what he himself should have been saying all this time. He talks about how Flair held him, Luger and the Steiners down ten years earlier. Ten years later, Ric is still here. He wants a match with Flair for control of the Presidency. Flair: "You know what? My wife would like control!" Flair agrees to do Sting vs David Flair tonight. If Sting beats David, then he can wrestle Flair. Sting is not above hurting David Flair to get to Ric. Yay, Eric Bischoff is back to be annoying and heavy-handed.

Savage is doing an interview as the new WCW World Champion. Savage challenges anybody except Kevin Nash and the crowd starts chanting for Goldberg right away. Nash does not deserve a title shot because he is a zero in life. Suddenly, Hogan's music starts. Hogan points out that Savage said anybody and Savage tries to backtrack. He pays Nash some lip service and says there will be a title shot tonight. This show popped a decent one-time rating, as Hogan returns usually did. Savage is a trainwreck at this point, rambling on and on.

This was a Vince Russo thing that was supposed to set up the Austin-Jarrett feud, but Austin didn't think Jarrett was over enough to do a feud at that level, and Vince and Jim Ross agreed with him. He says no one can see the puppies until he starts getting more respect. A bandaged Austin runs out and makes quick work of Jarrett before getting on the mic and calling on Undertaker. He wants a match between the two tonight - no rules. Big Show interrupts to convince Austin that Undertaker has recruited Kane. We've seen this hype before. Show suggests teaming with Austin against Undertaker and Kane tonight. Jarrett tries to cut another promo as Austin is walking away and eats another stunner for his efforts. This was the beginning of the end of Jeff Jarrett in the WWF.

It's official - Austin vs Undertaker at Fully Loaded in a First Blood match, and if Austin wins, Vince is off TV forever. Vince comes out in a wheelchair as the result of a recent motorcycle accident. Austin has fun with that. He wants Vince to sign. Vince stalls like crazy and gets awesome heat in the process. Vince wants Austin to sign first because he doesn't trust him. Austin is happy to do that, but Vince has a piece of property that Austin wants back - the smoking skull belt. Back to that? The lights go out and Kane's music starts. Austin is about to push Vince up the ramp in his wheelchair when Undertaker attacks him from behind with the smoking skull belt. No Kane. Austin bleeds under Vince's orders to put the hype in motion. Undertaker fills the pin with Austin's blood, which Vince uses to sign the contract. They copied that a few years later in the Vince-Hogan build.

Last few minutes, and thank God this is the end of this feud. Wait, this is a tag match and the world title is on the line ... eh, what the hell, this is the end of this, so I'll take it. Crowd chants for Goldberg during the main event spotlighting this heat-killing feud. Savage wins the title.

Contest between Dawn Marie and Francine. Francine goes first and Dawn Marie stalls quite a bit. Tommy Dreamer is watching on in the stands and Justin Credible caned Tommy Dreamer and Dawn Marie wasn't wearing a bikini at all, as she attacks a distracted Francine. She's going for a Bronco Buster when Lance Storm spears her. Then Rhino comes in the ring and they are about to cane Francine when the lights go out and when they come back on, Sabu is here to make the save. They are about to gang attack Sabu as well but Jerry Lynn clears the ring with a chair. Then Sabu does a dive on the heels for the hell of it.

Last few minutes. Jamie Dundee, Brickhouse Brown and Midget D pour flour all over Danny B while Jamie screams "If you ain't white, you ain't right". Brickhouse Brown tells him if he's going to act like a white boy, he's going to treat him like one. KAW is pretty tasteless, that's for sure.
-
Bill Dundee invades KAW! He mentions Owen Hart in a way that kinda stopped me in my tracks for a moment. Wow, wrestling. One thing I can tell for sure at this point is that everyone in KAW hates Terry Golden. Jamie grabs the mic and tells Michael St. John he looks like John Lennon right before he died.

Time for some OVW. Their show opening music is "White Wedding". That's interesting. Jim Cornette enters the ring and is thrilled that he's moved back to Louisville. There was a need for the matchmaker spot and Cornette will be taking on that role. He has a few announcements. He explains the developmental deal in place with the WWF and explains that they will act as a farm system, but also says WWF stars will be working the Louisville Gardens shows when their schedule permits. Al Snow will defend against Droz at the July 20 show. Finally, he wants Kenny Bolin to come show his face and cuts a promo on him, telling Bolin he's his boss now and he's firing him as color commentator. Bolin doesn't take that well, saying Cornette will have to physically eject him if he wants him out. Wrestlers come to the ring and run him off.

Brawl between the two factions, but only Wolfie D and DWB are there to represent the Mafia, so they get the worst of it. BSK takes off with Dirty White Girl and load her into a van. The Memphis Mafia tries to stop them in a parking lot but they get away. I'd rather Power Pro not copy WCW angles abducting women.
-
Again, I say Brutus Beefcake.

Lawler wants to address the Internet rumors that he'll no longer be associated with Power Pro. They aren't true - as long as there is Power Pro, Lawler will be around. He explains where he was each week. He accidentally calls Stacy "Monica" as a joke and starts plugging personal appearances.

Clips of JR Smooth attacking some dude named Cannonball with a baseball bat at a house show. Wolfie D, Tommy Rich and Dirty White Boy come out together for an interview, and they are now being called the Memphis Mafia. Doug Gilbert has been reinstated, but now he's only at live events. He's not allowed on TV. Rich claims that's not fair because he can draw money without getting a chance to say his peace. I love that logic. In a world of Kevin Nash's booking, it almost makes too much sense. Doug is in the parking lot and gets in a shouting match with Hales but Hales keeps him out of the studio.

Pretty solid cage match with lots of heat. A ref bump in a cage match with no ref inside the ring is impressive, but this match is well laid out and shows where these guys are at this point in time. It's probably good to check in on them once a year bare minimum. Chyna interferes enough that this is ostensibly a handicap match. Rock takes a lot of shots that normally lead to blood without bleeding. Fun babyfaces-overcomes-all-the-odds match. Billy Gunn attacks Rock with a Fameasser on the floor after the match and the two work over Rock after the match.

Last few minutes. The Hardys win the tag titles. Terry Taylor interviews the new champs after the match and they are interrupted by Droz wearing glitter and Albert wearing a dress.
