Road Wild 1998 - The Results

Meng beats The Barbarian by pinfall with the Tongan Death Grip. Jimmy Hart tries to fight Meng to get him off, and has to call out Hugh Morrus to get freed. Hugh Morrus, The Barbarian and Jimmy Hart attack Meng until "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan comes out attacks them all with his 2x4.

Public Enemy (Johnny Grunge and "Flyboy" Rocco Rock) beat The Dancing Fools (Disco Inferno and Alex Wright). The match becomes a Street Fight in the middle of the match after Disco and Wright reply to being hit with an aluminum trash can by going to the back to get a table and saying that if they want a street fight, they'll get one. The referee then officially makes the match a Street Fight. The match ends after Disco Inferno is put through three tables, followed by Tokyo Magnum hitting Disco with a top rope splash when Johnny Grunge moves out of the way of it.



Dean Malenko says he will call it like he sees it in the match for the WCW Cruiserweight Championship as he is interviewed for WCWWrestling.com.

Before the next match, Raven sics Kanyon on Saturn. It is not long, however, before Kanyon and Saturn are working together and hit Raven with Total Elimination - Saturn's double-team finishing move from when he was part of The Eliminators in Extreme Championship Wrestling with John Kronus.

Saturn beats Raven and Kanyon in a Triangle Match contested under Raven's Rules after Lodi and Horace's interference goes awry, as Lodi accidentally throws powder into Horace's eyes, causing Horace to accidentally nail both Lodi and Raven with a stop sign.

Rey Mysterio, Jr. beats Psychosis to become #1 contender for the WCW Cruiserweight Championship.

Before the next match, Chavo Guerrero Jr. declares the next match null and void, as the contract he has in his hand - stamped with the same notary stamp that he stole from Stevie Ray - states that he is the WCW World Television Champion. When Stevie Ray shows up, Chavo demands the belt, but Stevie Ray refuses, and Chavo says if he wants the match, he has to shake his hand. Stevie Ray refuses, and Chavo starts wrestling him, anyway.

Stevie Ray "retains" the WCW World Television Championship against Chavo Guerrero, Jr. after Chavo's attempts to wear Stevie Ray out do not work. After the match, Stevie Ray says he isn't finished with Chavo yet, and if anyone has a problem with it, they had better step up and do something about it. Eddie Guerrero shows up and takes the WCW World Television Championship away from Stevie Ray, then tells Stevie Ray he wants no problem with him and to let it be. Stevie Ray leaves as Eddie Guerrero tries to reason with Chavo.

Chris Jericho conducts an interview for WCWWrestling.com, saying he will be watching Dean Malenko to make sure he doesn't cheat him.

Before the next match, WCW Executive Committee Chairman J.J. Dillon shows up and tells Rick Steiner his match with Scott Steiner is off. Buff Bagwell shows up, wheeling Scott Steiner out on a stretcher while wearing a neck brace, and accuses Rick of injuring them both before saying this match is not happening. J.J. Dillon says he has confirmed with the doctors that Scott is out for two weeks, that if the match cannot take place, the match can be rescheduled within the next 45 days, and it is rescheduled for Fall Brawl on September 13th. Buff Bagwell says anything can happen with their injuries between now and the next 45 dasys, but Dillon counters by announcing that if Scott Steiner is not ready for the match, he is barred from wrestling for life. Scott Steiner miraculously stands up from the stretcher, and Rick chases after both men after Buff Bagwell shoves the stretcher at him.

Steve "Mongo" McMichael beats Brian Adams. During the match, Mongo accidentally kicks referee Billy Silverman as Brian Adams gets him set up for a piledriver. Vincent tries to interfere with a steel chair, but Vincent accidentally hits Adams with the chair before Mongo punches the chair into his face. Mongo then hits the Mongo Spike as Silverman is coming to.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund, surrounded by the American Ironhorse girls and sitting on his American Ironhorse motorcycle, gets the crowd fired up.

Before the next match, Chris Jericho says that as he was driving down Sturgis, South Dakota on his motorcycle, he realized that he did not want to perform in front of "a bunch of weekend warrior [motorcyclists]" and that he is the only true biker around here.

Juventud Guerrera beats Chris Jericho to become the WCW Cruiserweight Champion in a match with Dean Malenko as special guest referee after Juvi leaps over Malenko to hit a top rope hurricanrana following a boot to Malenko's face by Jericho. Jericho, who is finally frustrated with Malenko near the end of the match, fights Malenko after the match only to get laid out.

Goldberg wins the nWo Battle Royal after getting The Giant up for the Jackhammer.

Diamond Dallas Page and Jay Leno beat Hollywood Hogan and Jay Leno after Tonight Show band leader Kevin Eubanks is able to hit Bischoff with a Diamond Cutter. Hogan and Bischoff attack DDP and Leno after the match, but Goldberg runs in and hits both Hogan and Bischoff with a Spear.
