The Ultimate Dragon, Super Calo and Juventud Guerrera beat Psychosis, La Parka and the debuting Silver King with a Dragon Sleeper on Psychosis. La Parka attacks Super Calo with a wooden chair after the match.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Lex Luger. Luger says that he has heard nothing from "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan and Dennis Rodman as of last week. He has talked to The Giant, who is in Germany for an upcoming tour, and they have signed the contract for the tag match between them and the team of Hogan and Rodman at Bash at the Beach on July 13th, as have Hogan and Rodman. He then tells Hogan that J.J. Dillon and the WCW Executive Committee have announced that Hogan has not defended the WCW World Heavyweight Championship since February, and that tonight, Hogan will be wrestling him in the ring.
We see footage from earlier today when Mike Tenay interviewed "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and "Rowdy' Roddy Piper, who will be facing The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) tonight and not Bash at the Beach. Piper is ready for this, as is Flair, who says that The Wolfpack (Hall, Nash, Syxx) has had its way for long enough and that tonight, they'll think Bobby Orr and Larry Bird are walking the aisle tonight.
Alex Wright reverses a top rope cross body and puts his feet on the rope - and over the referee - for leverage to beat Chris Jericho.
This Saturday on WCW Saturday Night: "The Crippler" Chris Benoit! Glacier! Public Enemy (Johnny Grunge and Flyboy "Rocco" Rock)! Dean Malenko! Diamond Dallas Page!
Akira Hokuto beats Malia Hosaka. It is announced at the end of the match that the match between "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan and Lex Luger is official. After the match, Hokuto body slams Hosaka, then Madusa runs in and gets her hands on Hokuto, hitting three German suplexes before Hokuto and Sonny Onoo run for the hills.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner). Rick is tired of having to prove themselves as the best tag team today. As Scott says they'll take on any tag team in WCW, Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray) and Sister Sherri show up, proclaiming they are seven-time tag champs and deserve the shot at the tag titles. Rick says their seven reigns don't mean a thing and that they can go at it tonight...which they do right in the middle of the aisle. Referees stop the brawl as The Steiners get the upper hand.
Kevin Greene attacks Steve "Mongo" McMichael before Mongo's match with Konnan. Referees and security have to stop the brawl. As the cameras are focused on Greene and Mongo, it is revealed that Konnan is down and out in the ring, haven been attacked by a broom that now lays broken in the ring, and it is implied that Hugh Morrus is the attacker. The match ends in a no contest as the match never started.
"Hollywood" Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff speak before the next match. Bischoff tells J.J. Dillon and the WCW Executive Committee "bite me," saying there is nobody who can force Hogan into the ring until he's ready. Hogan says hello to "all the nWo-ites out there," and says that if Luger wants a shot at him, he'd better start working out as he is not in enough shape to beat him, will never beat him in this lifetime or the next, and that he only wrestles or defends the WCW World Heavyweight Championship when he feels like it. He refuses to give them a match where he easily outclasses his opponent, then says the match isn't happening before he "gives 'em a piece of Hollywood" and poses for the crowd. Luger walks out with referee Randy Anderson behind him, then waits behind Hogan and Bischoff. Bischoff says there is no match, as does Hogan, who tells Luger he couldn't beat him in the ring in this lifetime and tells him to get out of the ring before he destroys him. Bischoff calls Luger and Sting "Hollywood wanna-bes" and says Luger wishes he was half the man Hogan was. Luger shoves Bischoff, then the match immediately begins. The Wolfpack (Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Syxx) rush in soon after the bell rings, and Hogan gets back in the ring when they tell him they have his back.
Lex Luger beats "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan with the Torture Rack after he fights off The Wolfpack (Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Syxx). The Wolfpack assault Luger after the match and also attack referee Randy Anderson, then Hulk Hogan hits the signature atomic leg drop right as the pyrotechnics go off to signify the start of the second hour. Hogan repeatedly hits Luger with leg drops before Hogan and The Wolfpack celebrate. Two referees have to help Luger to the back afterwards, then Hogan and Bischoff lay down in the ring and make fun of Luger. Hogan says Dennis Rodman was watching tonight, and says he'll make it up to him after beating only Luger tonight.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews WCW Executive Committee head J.J. Dillon. He plans to hold "Macho Man" Randy Savage accountable for his actions last week by means of a $50,000 fine. Savage will not, however, be suspended, and the match between Savage and Diamond Dallas Page at The Great American Bash will take place, and it will be an unsanctioned "lights out" match with no disqualifications, no count-outs and falls counting anywhere. Savage is in the crowd with Miss Elizabeth, and says he'll put his hands on Dillon again. Diamond Dallas Page shows up and tells Savage they can face each other right now. Savage tells Page he just made the dumbest move that he has ever made, and makes his way down to the ring through the fans. Security has to break both men apart as they go at it at ringside.
Lee Marshall calls from Chicago, Illinois - the site of next week's Nitro - for the 1-800-COLLECT Road Report.
Jeff Jarrett beats Dean Malenko with the Figure Four Leg Lock after Eddie Guerrero - who takes off his arm sling to reveal that he is no longer injured - hits Malenko with the frog splash from the top rope as Debra McMichael distracts the referee to win the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Jimmy Hart, who is joined by The Faces of Fear (Meng and The Barbarian). He tells "The Crippler" Chris Benoit to be careful what he wishes for, as it might come true. He then introduces Benoit's final step: The Taskmaster, who has returned along with Miss Jacqueline. The Taskmaster says he is finally home at last and is still alive. He says it's been a long time since he crossed the river and made it in the wrestling business, and he thanks the fans that are home with him. He knows that Benoit has taken on Meng, whom he calls "the baddest man on the planet", and tells Benoit he knows that he is in the building and tells him he's not taking his hometown from him. Benoit shows up and he and The Taskmaster immediately start punching each other. It isn't long before the rest of the Dungeon of Doom attack Benoit.
"The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper vs. The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) ends after Syxx gets involved. The rest of The Four Horsemen (Jeff Jarrett, "The Crippler" Chris Benoit, Steve "Mongo" McMichael) show up to assist Flair, then The New World Order rushes into the ring to even the odds. Kevin Greene shows up and fights off the nWo at first, but eventually ends up in a brawl with Mongo. Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray) show up, but they are quickly attacked by The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) in the aisle and at the commentary table. Glacier rushes in, too, but he has to tend with Mortis and Wrath in the aisle. Juventud Guerrera, La Parka, Silver King and Super Calo fight each other in the aisle, and The Taskmaster and The Faces of Fear (Meng and The Barbarian) show up to attack Benoit. "Macho Man" Randy Savage arrives to attack Flair, but Diamond Dallas Page goes after Savage only to be attacked by The Outsiders. "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan shows up and hits Page and Flair with the World Heavyweight Championship before helping Savage. The show ends with Sting rappelling down to the ring, baseball bat in hand to keep The New World Order at bay. Nash is the first to get out of the ring and the first to be smacked with the bat, with Scott Norton to follow. Sting then rescues Page by tethering him to the cord that rappeled him down to ringside and making his way back up to the rafters, taking Page with him.
