Owen Hart and The Gladiator vs The Head Hunters
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
D-Lo's stablemates came out for the next match as they were facing The
Head Hunters in tag action. D-Lo decided to stay at ringside to cheer
his teammates on. The Head Hunters and the team of Owen Hart and The
Gladiator put on a terrific match. The Gladiator impresses me more and
more with his wrestling ability. However, it was Ken Shamrock running
out and brawling with D-Lo Brown that distracted Owen Hart long enough
for one of the Head Hunters to hit a flying bodypress and get the 3
count. Afterwards The Gladiator and Owen Hart exited the ring and went
right after Shamrock and beat him down until Jyushin Lyger ran out and
chased off the 3 Nation members.
The Head Hunters defeated Owen Hart and The Gladiator when Head Hunter
#1 pinned O. Hart after a flying bodypress in 0:12:18.

New Jack vs Devon Storm vs Steve Strong
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the second match it got very interesting. All 3 brawled around the
entire arena using all of New Jack's weapons that he brought to the
ring. It ended up that New Jack tried to hit a dive off of the
balcony, but Steve Strong moved out of the way at the last second and
New Jack hit the concrete with full impact. New Jack was out of it for
the rest of the match. Devon Storm and Steve Strong ended up going
back to the ring and continued the match. Devon Storm ended up hitting
his Thunderclap Brainbuster, but Steve Corino broke up the 3 count.
Corino was getting ready to hit Devon Storm with a chair when Ace
Darling ran out and tore the chair away from Corino and blasted him
with it. Strong got up only to get hit by the chair as well. Darling
left while Storm hooked the leg of Strong to get the 3 count. Later we
found out that New Jack had to be taken to the hospital after missing
his dive and was pretty banged up but probably wouldn't miss any
action.
Triangle Match:
Devon Storm defeated New Jack and Steve Strong when D. Storm defeated
Steve Strong via pinfall in 0:21:09.

And in our main event Frank Shamrock debuted against Chris Benoit. Too
Cold Scorpio was at ringside as was The Giant and Dean Malenko. That
extra man advantage ended up helping Benoit as near the end Malenko
ended up brawling with Scorpio and while the ref was trying to break
them up, The Giant entered the ring and grabbed a surprised Shamrock
by the neck and Choke Slammed him into the mat. The Giant rolled out
of the ring right before the ref turned around. Benoit ended up
hitting a Northern Lights Suplex to get the 3 count and the 3 heels
ran off.
