The New Hart Foundation defeated Bill DeMott and Lash LeRoux when L. Storm pinned LeRoux after the Hart Attack in 0:07:24. Rating: *** 3/4 This match was very intense as the team LeRoux and DeMott are trying to make a name for themselves.� They were aggressive at the start, but Owen and Lance waited for a mistake.� That mistake came when LeRoux hit the Whiplash and allowed DeMott to go for the No Laughing Matter.� Owen rolled Lance out of the way and that put DeMott out of the action.� Moments later Lash was hit with the Hart Attack and the match was over.� Owen then grabbed the mic. Owen:� WHOO!� The King of Harts and the Perfect Storm win just like everyone knew.� We are going to make a challenge to anyone out there for a match on Nitro.� Any team from anywhere, we are going to prove why we are the best!� WHOO! We go to break with Lance and Owen celebrating in the ring.� After the break we see Rhino and Midajah making their way to the ring. Rhino:� Look at this belt.� I have no competition.� No one can beat me.� NO ONE!� I am the best TV Champion ever.� Not Booker T, not Scott Steiner, not Fit Finlay, not Chris Benoit, it's me RHINO! Suddenly the Horsemen theme music plays as Arn Anderson comes out. Arn:� Rhino, you are a monster.� You are a great champion.� But to say you are better then greats like Steve Austin, Ricky Steamboat, Tully Blanchard, Dusty Rhodes and Lex Luger you are dreaming.� One day son you might, but not by running around like a maniac and stabbing your friends in the back for things like her. Rhino:� Do you think you can stop me?� DO YOU OLD MAN!� WHY DON'T YOU GET INTO THIS RING AND STOP ME THEN! Arn:� Son, it's pretty easy to jump on, but you will find it's the jumping off that's hard.� I was retired, but I guess this means I just re-entered the ring. Arn takes off his glasses and jacket.� He then runs to the ring. Arn Anderson pinned Rhino with the Spinebuster in 0:09:39. Rating: ** 3/4 (Arn Anderson won the WCW TV Title.) Arn Anderson got a title he first won back in 1986 by defeating Rhino.� Well he actually pinned Rhino but didn't defeat him.� As Arn entered the ring he was on the offense with a series of Anderson punches, but Rhino cut that off.� Rhino was then in charge.� He had the win several times, but pulled the man off the mat before the three count.� The end of the match came when Rhino was setting Arn up to be gored.� From the back out came Scott Steiner.� He hit Rhino in the back of the head with his Steel Pipe sending Rhino right into the patented Anderson Spinebuster for the win.� Rhino then rolled out of the ring and brawled with Steiner to the back.� Ric Flair and Jeff Jarrett then came out and celebrated with Arn as we go to break.� After the break we see Arn, Ric and Jeff with Mean Gene. Mean:� Arn, might I start off by congratulating you on this big win. Arn:� Thank you Gene.� It was 15 years ago that I first won this title by defeating Wahoo McDaniels.� Now I defeating a future world champion in Rhino.� I have seen the tape and saw that Scott Steiner interfered.� Rhino, all you have to do is ask for a re-match and you will get it.� I will be a fighting champion like everyone else has been under the leadership of Ric Flair. Mean:� Ric? Flair:� Gene, I am going to lay down the law a little here.� It seems that Scott Steiner and Rhino can't keep out of each other's business.� At Spring Stampede you not only will be in the Battle Bowl like everyone else on the roster, you two will be facing off.� The winner of the match will then take on the World Champion the next night on Nitro.� You have both been great TV champions, it is time for you to step up. Mean:� What a match signed for Spring Stampede---wait a minute what do you guys want? We see the FBI walk up. Tony:� Hey look guys, this old man found himself a belt.�� Arn:� Hey, who you calling old? Guido:� Well between you, Gene and Flair you take your pick. Jarrett:� Hey why don't you show some respect. Vito:� Why don't you shut your pie hold you southern j-brone before someone gets hurt. Flair:� The only people getting hurt tonight is you Vito and that greenhorn partner of yours.� We will see you in the ring.
