Bash At The Beach 1998 - The Results

Raven beats Saturn in a no-disqualification match with help from Riggs and the interference of Kanyon, who saves Raven from being put through two tables so he can hit him with the Flatliner while referee Nick Patrick is still down from a running drop kick by Saturn.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Eddie Guerrero. Eddie says when he went home the other night and looked forward to this match, he admits he was concerned as Chavo Guerrero, Jr. wasn't all there, but when Chavo brought out the hair vs. hair challenge, he knew he was nuts and that all he had to do is come in and pick up what's left on him, as Stevie Ray will leave him lying in the ring with no hope whatsoever, and shave him bald.

Juventud Guerrera beats Kidman.

Konnan answers some questions for an interview on WCWWrestling.com.

Chavo Guerrero Jr. shows up with an inner tube and a Super Soaker before the next match, and shoots water into the crowd. Eddie Guerrero arrives before the match starts with a pair of scissors, and Chavo dedicates the match to Eddie.

Stevie Ray beats Chavo Guerrero, Jr. after they shake hands only for Chavo to tap out when Stevie Ray pulls at his hand. Stevie Ray is not happy with the win, and it becomes apparent he was saving his stamina for Eddie.

Eddie Guerrero beats Chavo Guerrero, Jr. in a Hair vs. Hair Match when Chavo tries to cut Eddie's hair with the scissors early only for Eddie to roll him up with a small package as referee Charles Robinson tries to take the scissors from him. After the match, Chavo cuts his own hair, and offers Eddie to do the same so they can be twins. Eddie leaves the ring without cutting Chavo's hair, as Chavo cuts a few strips off before spraying the fans with water from the Super Soaker again and cutting almost all of his hair off.



Before the next match, Alex Wright speaks German, then Disco Inferno says Konnan isn't the only person who knows the south Hispanic scene. They mangle the pronunciation of the word "orale" and "arriba la raza," then the nWo Wolfpac theme plays before they can start dancing again. Kevin Nash - who shows up with Lex Luger and Konnan - says they aren't players, they just crush a lot. Konnan then says in Spanish that this is his house.

Konnan beats Disco Inferno with the Tequila Sunrise. During the match, Alex Wright beats up Konnan behind the referee's back after Disco tosses him out of the ring, but Lex Luger grabs Alex Wright and puts him in the Torture Rack. As the referee is concentrating on that, Kevin Nash hits Disco Inferno with the Jackknife Power Bomb, allowing Konnan to apply the Tequila Sunrise for the win.

The Giant beats Kevin Greene.

Curt Hennig answers questions for an interview on WCWWrestling.com. He says he knows what it takes to beat Goldberg: 17 years of experience and extensive ring knowledge. He says Goldberg has two weaknesses: inexperience and lack of endurance.

Before the next match, Chris Jericho says Dean Malenko got himself suspended and robbed the fans of tonight's match, but he refuses to rob the fans himself. He is about to tap dance with a top hat and cane when WCW Executive Committee Chairman J.J. Dillon shows up and says he probably made a mistake and misjudged him, and if he was wrong about him, he'd be the first person to say so and offer an apology. He feels the fans are a bit disappointed to not see him wrestle and defend the Cruiserweight title. He managed to find a local guy in the area who was willing to wrestle Jericho and hasn't wrestled in six months, and that it's up to Jericho. Jericho tells Dillon to get the match started and make it a no-disqualification match...and the "local guy" is Rey Mysterio Jr., who hasn't been seen since Jericho injured his left knee as he returns with a more refined and more bronze physique.

Rey Mysterio Jr. beats Chris Jericho in a no-disqualification match to become the WCW Cruiserweight Champion! Before the end of the match, Dean Malenko shows up, distracting Malenko. After the match, Manlenko chases him to the back. "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson stops Jericho, and allows Malenko to beat Jericho up backstage.

Booker T beats Bret "The Hit Man" Hart by disqualification after Hart hits Booker T with a steel chair. Bret then works on Booker T's injured right knee with the steel chair before putting Booker T in a Figure Four Leg Lock on the ring post. Stevie Ray shows up just as Hart is letting go of the hold, and helps Booker T to the back alongside referee Billy Silverman and a member of medical staff.

We see a video package of all the events from last week's Nitro leading to Goldberg winning the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.

Goldberg retains the WCW World Heavyweight Championship against Curt Hennig. Before the match, Hennig is seen unfurling a Goldberg T-shirt to reveal the word "Goldberg" written in tape on the shirt. Goldberg shows up without the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship, having vacated the title after last week.

"Hollywood" Hulk Hogan and Dennis Rodman beat Diamond Dallas Page and Karl Malone after Malone hits Rodman with a Diamond Cutter only for The Disciple to hit DDP with the Apocalypse as Malone covers Rodman despite not being the legal man. After the match, Malone - dissatisfied with the ending of the match - hits referee Charles Robinson with a Diamond Cutter.
