Stevie is on commentary here. Prime Time Player Elix Skipper is making his gimmick debut here. 120 second match but Skipper runs through a lot of cool offense and hits most of it cleanly. He also bumps well off of the Kidman offense. Franchise and Torrie come out for a closer look. Reno comes into the ring and hits the Last Rites but Franchise sends him out which didn’t make much sense. Prime Time picks up the big upset. *

We get a recap of the ‘Viagra on a Pole’ match from Monday which is something I’m in no hurry to see again! As Skipper is playing to the crowd on the arena floor, Kidman nails him with a baseball slide dropkick. He tosses him inside and takes him down with a slingshot headscissors. Running crossbody off the ropes, however Skipper bridges under it with his ‘matrix manoeuvre’. Elix charges at Kidman who backdrops him over the top rope to the outside, but in the same motion, Skipper grabs Kidman’s head and clotheslines him on the top rope. Twisting slingshot headscissors by Skipper. Double axe handle off the top, however Kidman gets in first with a dropkick. Shane Douglas and Torrie Wilson head to the ring and Kidman with a short powerbomb. Torrie distracts the official and Rick Cornell/Reno hops the guardrail, attacks Kidman from behind and drops him with his ‘Roll the Dice’ finisher. As he mounts and unloads on him, Shane Douglas is in to drag him off. Skipper then hits ‘the Overdrive’ for the upset win.

 

Elix Skipper had changed his name from ‘Skip Over’, which is a definite change for the better. He tries a lot of innovative stuff, but none of it is crisp or executed cleanly and all looks rather rough and raggedy. In addition, just like his previous name, his ring wear too could do with an overhaul. Nice to see Rick Cornell debut as WCW continues to unleash those Power Plant graduates, although Shane Douglas being the one to drag him off Kidman makes little sense at the moment.
