Both then checked on the condition of Hollywood Hogan, who was also seen by a WCW trainer, after just being Jack-Knife Powerbombed through a table.

� Chris Adams and Prince Iaukea went to a No-Contest.
- As the match went on, Sid Vicious interfered. He Powerbombed Chris Adams and requested the referee to count a pin. Prince Iaukea dived off the top rope, but Sid caught him and slammed Iaukea down. Iaukea also received a chokeslam and Powerbomb. As the crowd chanted "Goldberg," Sid said they could chant "Goldberg," "Hogan," and "Sting," but everyone one of those wrestlers would be taken down. He said we wouldn't remember either of them, because if he had to, he would take them as victims. Sid talked about being the master and The Millennium Man.

� Buff Bagwell defeated Scotty Riggs with the Blockbuster.
- Before the match, Buff Bagwell brought up an old American Males saying. He insulted Scotty Riggs about his character and said he would show Riggs he (Bagwell) was buff and Riggs wasn't the stuff. Bagwell took a look in Riggs' mirror and got the match underway. Bagwell was dominating in the beginning, until Riggs used his mirror to his advantage. After Bagwell fought off Riggs on the top turnbuckle,he hit the Blockbuster for the win.

� Eddie Guerrero and Kidman went to a No-Contest.
- Eddie Guerrero dominated Kidman in the beginning, using many maneuvers used by Gorie Guerrero. Kidman was back on top after a facebuster and went for the Shooting Star Press, but Guerrero quickly knocked him down. Vampiro made his way in when Guerrero entered the ring after he was given a huracanrana to the outside. Vampiro nailed Guerrero with a clothesline and Vampiro Spike. Vampiro invited Kidman back into the ring. Kidman was about to execute the Shooting Star Press on the back of Guerrero, but ended up diving to the outside onto Vampiro. Kidman and Guerrero then teamed up to attack Vampiro, but Vampiro quickly escaped, not before Rey Mysterio, Jr. threw him back in. As Mysterio and Kidman held down Vampiro, Guerrero hit the Frog Splash.

� The No Limit Soldiers (BA and Swoll, w/4x4) defeated Lenny and Lodi with Swoll's Heart Punch.
- Lenny and Lodi worked on BA, and were able to take advantage of the match since BA was tripped earlier. The tag was made to Swoll and he started to destroy the brothers, Lenny and Lodi. After Lodi was thrown to the outside, Swoll nailed Lenny with the Heart Punch to let The No Limit Soldiers take the win.

� Booker T. defeated Bam Bam Bigelow by Disqualification.
- As the match went on, Booker T. went for the Missle Dropkick, but was knocked down by an interfering Diamond Dallas Page. Booker was hit with the combination of Greetings from Asbury Park and Diamond Cutter. David Flair entered the ring and handed DDP a can of yellow spraypaint. As DDP spraypainted The Triad symbol on Booker, Stevie Ray scared The Triad and David out of the ring. David came back in and hit Ray with the United States Title belt, but it had no affect. As Ray went after David, he was nailed with the Diamond Cutter. David then put spraypainted on the Ray's back.

� Randy Savage Interview, Conducted by Gene Okerlund.
- Gene Okerlund announced Randy Savage's name, along with Gorgeous George, but George was once again nowhere to be seen. The crowd chanted, "We Want George." Savage said Dennis Rodman was an ex-basketball player, soon to be an ex-wrestler. Savage described Kevin Nash and Rodman by a simple shurg off the shoulders, and described Hogan as a shrug off his crotch area. He said he would have a lot of things to say and do the following Monday on Nitro, along with four special thing. He said, at the time, Sid Vicious was holding hands with Nash. Savage questioned everyone whether he was for or against it. He said he would talk about his candidacy for President of the United States. He said there would be a Miss Madness 2000 contest. He also said he would have the biggest protector of his, which happened to be the hummer driver (which WCW was said to have dropped since they felt they did enough with Sting and the bogus Sting). We would see that all on Nitro.

� Diamond Dallas Page defeated Chris Benoit via Pinfall.
- Diamond Dallas Page and Bam Bam Bigelow gave a shout out and said he bought a million dollar estate in Newark, New Jersey. They did the "Who's better than Kanyon?" line, with crowd saying the usual, "Everybody." DDP and Bigelow then insulted Chris Benoit's mother. Benoit immediatley ran in and started his match with DDP. As Benoit executed three consecutive German Suplexes, David Flair got on the apron, but was immediately knocked down by Benoit. Benoit went for the Diving Headbutt, but DDP hit him with the United States Title belt on his way down for the win.

� Goldberg defeated Rocco Rock (w/Johnny Grunge) with the Jackhammer.
- Johnny Grunge wore a Green Bay Packers jersey to the ring, but took it off and stomped on it. Goldberg stood on the turnbuckle to the crowd, to a huge pop, as he motinoed for the Heavyweight Title around his waist. After Goldberg slammed Rocco Rock to the canvas, Grunge interfered, only to be knocked out by Goldberg. As Goldberg argued with Grunge, Grunge threw in a chair. Rocco used it on Goldberg, while the referee got hit. Grunge entered the ring for the double-team on Goldberg. The Public Enemy stacked a table in the corner, but both ended up getting speared into it. Goldberg then finished off Rocco with the Jackhammer. Goldberg said to the camera, "Bring it on!
