Content: For starters, choosing to start any ppv with Chris Benoit is excellent thinking, however, when the opponent is a jpurneyman with no belt, no gimmic, and no future with WCW, then even Benoit couldn't carry this stinker. I know Kevin Sullivan was particularly fickle with Benoit, but why screw your company by having him face Mike Enos, who is better known for his lame WWF tag career as a member of the Beverly Brothers? The crowd did react well to the match, and particularly well to second match, featuring Norman Smiley and Chavo Jr. The match was good and their styles meshed well, given Chavo's lame "PePe" gimmick. The battle of undefeated WCW super heavyweights was next, featuring Bam Bam Bigelow and Wrath. This was a good King Kong versus Godzilla style matchup. This match was supposed to build up Bigelow's character for a feud with Goldberg, but in typical WCW fashion this storyline got lost in the shuffle. With the rival NWO factions joining together, Konan was given his pink card. This set up a gruge match involving Lex Luger and Konan. This match started well, with both stars getting their turns on the mic to get heat with the crowd. Once the talking stopped, the brawling began, with a newly silicon enhanced Ms.Elizabeth aiding in the outcome. Excellent brawl, with lots of pops. The next bout featured a soon to be WWF bound Y2J versus Saturn in a dress stipulations match. Jericho was supposed to lose this one, but flake that he is, Saturn chose to lose, figuring it would get him over with the fans. The match itself was excellent, with many near falls and Jericho's silly antics. Next up was the cruiserweight four way title dance. This was the only title match and it featured LWO members Psichosis and Juvi, in addition to Rey Mysterio, and the champ Billy Kidman. This is the best match on the tape. I wish WCW had the forsight to have made this a tlc style gimmick match. The next match consisted of NWO sympathizers Curt Hennig and Barry Windahm, vs. the father and son team of Ric and David Flair. The three vets were great, but David Flair looked lost. This match had the crowd jacked. The roof really blew, when both NWO factions arrived and made a helpless Ric Flair watch as they beat his son senseless. Excellent face/heel work by Flair and Hogan. The main event was the Scot Hall and Goldberg taser gun/ladder match. Prior to the show, Goldberg was assaulted and suffered a knee injury. Goldberg played up the injury angle to perfection. This match was very physical, with both wrestlers taking dangerous bumps. Goldberg was busted open in this match. Run ins took place with Bam Bam and Disqo. All combatents felt the wrath of the taser. This was definately match of the year material. It was a good ppv, but not for the price asked.
Summary: Great gruge matches but very few title matches
