Inside the ring, both men go back and forth with pinning combinations. Benoit is then able to execute 3 German suplexes and then a sidewalk slam. Chris Benoit is then able to hit the flying headbutt, however the enforcers of the “Powers That Be” pull Benoit out to interrupt the count.

Sting then takes Hart and places him on the announce table, but Hart moves out of the way of the attempted Stinger splash. The referee is then caught between maneuvers and is knocked out. The Total Package interrupts the match and hits Sting with a bat allowing Hart to win via DQ. Hart argues with the referee, not wanting a DQ victory, and the referee reverses his decision allowing the match to continue.

Booker T. is then ambushed by `Creative Control’ after the fact, and the lights go out and the lady named Midnight comes in for the save.

David Flair versus Kimberly went to a No-Contest.

Kimberly begins by placing her leg on the top rope and stretching out, obviously trying to get the attention of David. David then hits the referee with the crowbar and proceeds to walk towards Kimberly, who is on her knees. Kimberly pretends to unzip David’s pants but instead removes David’s protective cup and hit him with a low blow. DDP and Kanyon come in for a save, but Arn Anderson stops the attack. David then hit Arn from behind and quickly left the ring, while EMT’s wheeled out a seemingly injured Arn.

Sid then chokes Goldberg in the corner with a big boot. Sid then proceeded to choke slam Goldberg not once, but two times. Goldberg regains control with 3 short clotheslines and begins to also work on the right arm of Sid.

Hart is too close to the ring ropes and is able to break the hold. Malenko, dressed in Canadian fan attire jumped the guardrail and began to attack Benoit but was quickly taken away by WCW officials. Hart is then on the receiving end of several knife-edge chops and a lethal back breaker courtesy of Benoit. Benoit catches a lifeless Hart with a tombstone piledriver and then a flying head butt. Before a pin attempt could even made, Nash and Hall take out the ref and begin to work on Benoit. Goldberg comes in to make a save but is hit with a steel chair from Hall.
