Billy Kidman vs Little Dragon *WWA DEBUT*
-------------------------------------------------------------
Little Dragon made his WWA debut here tonight against Billy Kidman.
Little Dragon had a great showing, but always seemed a step behind
Kidman. That is until Chris Benoit made his way down the aisle. Kidman
looked on and seemed to be surprised, but that look quickly turned
into pain when Little Dragon blasted him with an enzuguiri to the back
of the neck. Kidman fell as if he had been shot and Little Dragon took
this time to quickly scale to the top rope. As Kidman slowly got to
his feet he was taken back down with Little Dragon's Flying
Somersault Huracanrana which he followed up with a cradle to score
the "upset" victory. Little Dragon quickly ran off celebrating while
Kidman tried to get back to his feet. Meanwhile Chris Benoit entered
the ring with a chair in hand. Everybody thought he would help Kidman
like he did on Monday, but instead Benoit rammed the chair straight
into the face of the already hurt Kidman. Kidman fell over holding his
face as blood poured out of his broken nose. Benoit followed it up
with several vicious chair shots to Kidman's legs. He then picked up
the very hurt Kidman and finished him off with a chair shot to the
back of his head. Kidman fell straight over onto his bloody face.
Benoit simply left while Kidman had to be stretchered out, leaving a
huge blood stain on the mat. I don't know what got into Benoit, but he
practically destroyed Kidman.
Little Dragon pinned Billy Kidman with the Flying Somersault
Huracanrana in 0:14:14.

Frank Shamrock vs Cobra
-------------------------------------------------------------
Frank Shamrock with a rather easy win over Cobra after hooking on his
own version of the Ankle Lock Submission. Afterwards Ken Shamrock was
seen watching on from the entrance way. As soon as the bell rang Ken
left, however. Too bad he didn't stick around because as soon as Frank
had his arm raised he was attacked by Dean Malenko and The Giant. The
Giant hit his Choke Slam a total of 4 times before a masked man came
from out of the crowd! He had a dented chair in hand and entered the
ring from behind. Malenko never saw the chair, but he sure felt it as
it was crashed into the back of his neck. With the force of the shot
Malenko fell over the top. The Giant turned around and was blasted
straight across the head with it. The Giant tried to shake it off, but
he was hit again and again. Finally the masked man had The Giant down
to one knee and as he saw this he aimed and let loose a vicious chair
shot that went straight into The Giant's face. The Giant fell over,
unconcsious apparently, and didn't move after that. The masked man
then left while Frank tried to get back to his feet.
Frank Shamrock made Cobra submit to the Ankle Lock Submission in
0:08:27.

Goldberg vs David Taylor
-------------------------------------------------------------
Goldberg had a very tough time on his hands with David Taylor as
Taylor simply didn't want to lose. Taylor used his vast wrestling
skills to keep Goldberg on the mat throughout most of the match. It
was one mistake though that cost Taylor the match. Taylor was going
for a suplex, but it was blocked and countered with the Jackhammer
which gave Goldberg the win going into his match with Destruction at
Winterfest. Goldberg better be alot tougher then he was tonight or
Destruction will have no problem in sending him packing from the WWA.
Bill Goldberg pinned David Taylor with the Jackhammer in 0:17:37.

Ken Shamrock and Jyushin Lyger vs Owen Hart and D-Lo Brown
-------------------------------------------------------------
Owen Hart and D-Lo Brown then went at it with Jyushin Lyger and Ken
Shamrock in what promised to be an excellent match. That it was and
both teams were very "on" tonight. However, it was Robert Thompson
coming out that cost Lyger and Shamrock the match as when Robert
walked out it distracted Lyger long enough for D-Lo to sneak up from
behind. As soon as Lyger turned around he was planted with a
spinebuster that knocked him out long enough for D-Lo to get the 3
count. Owen and D-Lo were quick to leave and Owen even boasted that he
would have the same luck this Monday against Lyger. Robert Thompson
left as well before Lyger could wake up.
The Nation (D-Lo Brown and Owen Hart) defeated Jyushin Lyger and Ken
Shamrock when D-Lo pinned Lyger after a spinebuster slam in 0:17:04.

The Giant vs The Gladiator
-------------------------------------------------------------
We then had a match that everybody was looking forward too. It was a
battle of the giants as The Gladiator went up against The Giant. The
Gladiator had a lot more speed, but The Giant had the advantage in
strength. Both men just brawled back and forth with a little
high-flying involved as well which was showed mainly by The Gladiator.
However, Benoit walked out about the 20 minute mark and started
walking to the ring. The Giant dropped The Gladiator with a headbutt
and walked over to where Benoit was now standing. The Giant and Benoit
seemed to be talking or arguing over something and finally The Giant
convinced Benoit to leave ringside. When The Giant turned back around
he was caught with a hard lariat which sent him to the mat long enough
for The Gladiator to hook a leg and score the pinfall. A huge win for
The Gladiator. The question still remains...what is up with Benoit?
The Gladiator pinned The Giant after a short lariat in 0:20:33.
