This was a pretty dreadful PPV which is unfortunate as WCW had shown some signs of life. This main event was a complete afterthought as they come down to the ring with 20 minutes to go. Goldberg comes out and it feels like a Nitro match where Kronik double teams for a bit until Goldberg returns the favor with the big comeback. In a weird moment, a table is retrieved from underneath and smoke comes pouring out I guess from the fake Sting bullshit earlier. Goldberg ends up winning in just over three minutes and we immediately go off the air. *

 

Brian Adams is carrying a microphone with him on the way to the ring and tells the fans that Goldberg hasn’t been cleared to wrestle, there’ll be no match and instructs referee Mickey Jay to raise their hands.  We then cut backstage to see someone, who I presume is a commissioner (not Ernest Miller or Mike Sanders for once), clearing Goldberg and Doug Dillinger heads off to escort him from his dressing room.  It looks like it will be both members of Kronik in there at the same time here as opposed to one being on the apron.  Double shoulder charge and Adams heads outside to collect a table (that’s smouldering!) from under the ring.   DDT by Bryan Clark and Kronik then positions that table upright in the corner.  Goldberg fights his way free from the attempted double chokeslam before a standing side kick sends Adams tumbling through the ropes to the floor.  Clark looks for a suplex, however Goldberg floats over and spears him through the table.  He gets a three count although there is confusion as to whether the match is over or not.  It turns out it isn’t as Adams jumps him from behind.  Huge full nelson slam and Tony Schiavone can’t believe what he’s seeing “as no-one ever manhandles Goldberg that way”.  The Irish whip is reversed, Goldberg with a leap frog and he spears Adams as he comes off the ropes.  One jackhammer later and he has “against all odds” defeated both members of Kronik.  It is mentioned how he is now 14-0 as they try to recreate his winning streak.

This had the feel of a match that was done on the fly and was hardly what you’d expect from a PPV main event.  The recreation of the undefeated streak, even if it is storyline, smacks of desperation.
