Jericho is not leaving the building until JJ Dillon comes out to return the cruiserweight title to him.
-
Quick black and white video of Goldberg.
-
I still haven't figured out who that guy is with Jack Victory. Gertner tells the Dudleys they have to apologize to Beulah in person or they will lose his services. So they open an ambulance where D-Von is having sex with an inflatable doll and shouting "Beulah gave me crabs!"

Al Snow gets arrested for showing up at ringside with Lawler. They cut backstage quickly to show Undertaker surrounded by cops. Austin comes out in his normal attire plus a black tie. Vince is immediately upset. Funny. Ross and Lawler talk constantly over Kevin Kelly's intro of George Martin. He points out that Vince donated less than originally promised, wrote them a bounced check and hasn't visited like he promised. He then says his favorite wrestler is Steve Austin. I'm dying! Darnell Autry makes the second presentation, but points out that Vince never gave him a check and again, that his favorite wrestler is Steve Austin. "I must say that your attempt at humor is only exceeded by my generosity." God, I love Vince. Vince promises to put these awards next to all the other awards he has received in his lifetime and that they will one day go in a physical Hall of Fame. Meanwhile, Austin pickpockets Vince and finds $1200 cash in his pocket which he gives to both of them to split, then names Austin the Jackass of the Year. Then the Undertaker's music starts, but it's just a ploy to have Mankind and Kane attack Austin from behind and throw him in a casket. Vince is THRILLED. This was a great segment as usual with these guys.

Yet WWE is evergreen! They really do want everything both ways.

Michael Hayes gets super soaked by DX, along with the cameraman.

The "Don't Trust Anybody" t-shirt.

This music video is hilarious. I need to find out what this horrible song is, but it's hilarious. Slow motion sappy moments with Sable are tough to come by, but they make an honest effort.
-
DX goes around Manhattan to tell people about Summerslam. This is pretty fun, actually. Lots of funny moments with people on the street.
-
Vince, Patterson and Brisco are wearing tuxes and they are in a great mood. Vince points out that tonight, fans will get to meet the true Vince McMahon, one of generosity and caring. Vince is being named as Humanitarian of the Year! He claims that Steve Austin will be joining them for the presentation later in the evening. Vince is very funny here.

Holy NWO. Way, way too much of them tonight. It's decision time for DDP. DDP can't believe he's going to do this, but ... Hogan and Rodman come out and lay out DDP with chairs. The Wolfpac run them off to close the show. Thank God they didn't put Page in the group too.
-
Hogan introduces a vignette of Hogan on the movie set for Assault on Devil's Island and his hair is pretty amusing. Scott Steiner is on the set with him. Not much too this. It took them a long time to figure out anything to do with Scott after turning him.
-
This crowd is wild, but Piper always went after the cheap pops around this time by mentioning local sports teams. I won't even try to decipher Piper's promo. Savage - Piper's tag team partner on Sunday - comes out when Piper starts insulting him. Savage comes out, and he's not really the guy to help a guy start making sense and get focused on something at this point. Hogan and Bret interrupt again from the production booth. They make Bischoff and Liz a couple and they start making out? What?? That happened?? Savage responds that he got over Liz a long time ago then blindsides Piper. Piper gets up and punches him back. This just makes the NWO guys laugh. This is a hot segment but it's all old stuff at this point. Way too much Hogan on this show.
-
Tony Schiavone is thrilled to introduce new NWO member Sting! Ugh. Sting looks horrible in the red face paint. This is not the first time they have said the first Great American Bash was in 1998. Sting tries to relax his promo style to sound more like Nash and it doesn't quite work.
-
Hogan impersonates Savage in the past and takes a few potshots at Nash and Konnan. It's obvious Hogan and Nash are at odds in a big way. Hogan does all the talking while Bret sits there and drinks beer. Eye roll. Elizabeth comes back to the black and white. Let's make this MORE illogical.

Match 6 of 7. This series is working well, as Booker T and Benoit are both very over with this crowd. Another excellent match in the series - I'd probably put this number two overall so far. It's hard to really say much new, not because the matches are repetitive, but more just because what makes them good is pretty consistent. Stevie Ray comes out and gives Booker a wakeup call, which is effective in adding to the drama. They go into a few really terrific nearfalls right after that. Benoit does a great job cutting off Booker's comebacks at just the right moment. Really nice finish with the pinning combo into the sunset flip position to tie the series at 3-3. Benoit attacks Booker after the match and works over his knee until Stevie comes in and stops this. I loved this and the crowd was HOT for it.
-
Chris Jericho has a letter from Ted Turner that he's excited to read, since he's taken his case to him. This letter is hilarious and made me actually laugh out loud. I remember reading in Jericho's book that it was a pain to get this approved, but again, this is awesome and Jericho is just doing everything he can with no backing and it's working.
-
Bischoff rambles on like the drunk guy at a bar who comes up to talk to you and won't shut up. Giant hypes his match with Sting on Sunday at the Great American Bash. I think both these guys are hammered.
-
Nash shows how cool he is and takes on a completely difference cadence with Konnan sitting next to him. They diss Hogan and admittedly get in some really good lines. "Hey Rodman, why you hangin' out with white boys and bras?"
-
Hogan, Rodman and the NWO guys hang around in the back with a bunch of drunk women. Bischoff is in some other world. I don't even know if he could stand up. Hogan says he's going to collect money from Kevin Nash tonight for all of those powerbomb fines months ago.
-
WCW executive JJ Dillon's hands are tied by the NWO taking over the production booth, because that makes perfect sense. Konnan says they'll take matters into their own hands (which they didn't).
-
Mike Tenay is thrilled to talk to NWO fans outside because WCW no longer cares about details. Fans in NWO black and white t-shirts love the Wolfpac because fans don't care about details either. NWO are being treated like total WCW faction babyfaces now, and I can't tell you how much I hate this. Sting has the red face paint now. Hennig and Rude are still back there bringing the vibe down. Luger and Sting standing behind Nash just seems so wrong. Now they are recruiting DDP. Oh, that's just great! Nash talks about how DDP talked him into staying in wrestling when he was ready to quit, yet that didn't stop him from beating him up regularly for the past two years. Savage doesn't want DDP in the group, so at least there's that I can give them credit for. Nash tells DDP he made the right decision not to join the NWO two years ago in retrospect, but now, how can he turn down this opportunity? It's like they tried to rationalize some of this stuff that didn't make sense, but didn't go all the way with it. Finally, Nash is out to address Hogan, but Hogan cuts off his mic. Then we see Hogan with an apparently inebriated Eric Bischoff, Dennis Rodman and Bret Hart at the production booth. Then they randomly set off pyro in the ring and make the arena go dark. This sucks, and feels like a bunch of druggies playing with equipment they have no idea how to use. But I guess Hogan at least got to emasculate Nash.
-
Michael Buffer is here just to introduce Hogan and Rodman. Why? It's not like they're coming out for a match. And why would WCW roll out the red carpet for two NWO guys? This is definitely a moment, but it seems like much less of one than these two coming out in Chicago the year before. Hogan doing his screaming wrestling voice just sucks at this point.

Randy Hales runs down a list of names who will be on the June 23 show, and it's a star-studded one with Kane, Jeff Jarrett, Road Dogg, the Rock & Roll Express and Lawler vs Kane on top. Hales announces that Stacey has been suspended for interfering in matches and they are clearly about to start a feud with Lawler and Hales, even point blank making comparisons to Austin vs McMahon. And just like Austin-McMahon, this is starting off with Lawler as more of an asshole that the crowd still cheers. Lawler ends up slapping Hales and Hales tells him he'll regret it. Wow is Lawler a jerk with no justification here.
-
Kane and Paul Bearer are in Memphis. They are hyping a match on June 23 at Mid South Coliseum between Lawler and Kane. Pretty big deal for Power Pro, since Kane was headlining that month's PPV against Austin.
