Tag Team Championship
Sting & Lex Luger (C) Vs Harlem Heat
Jimmy Hart runs down and tries to throw in the towel. Harlem Heat stops him. Sting takes advantage and rolls up Stevie Ray from behind to get the win and retain the titles. Goofy finish aside, this was going pretty decent while it lasted. I think this deserves at least two stars.
** (out of 5)
Fire & Ice
Fire & Ice are Scott Norton & Ice Train Vs The Steiner Brothers
The Steiner Brothers win after Rick pins Ice Train with a running lariat (Or a steinerline) There were some impressive feats of strength by both teams here, and that's what this match was mostly about. It had suplexes and military press slams galore.
*1/4
Ric Flair taunts Randy Savage with Elizabeth and says he's not worried about losing his title to The Giant. I know that's a lazy recap, but it's a typical Flair interview.
Parking Lot Brawl
The Belfast Bruiser Vs Steven Regal
Regal wins with a piledriver on the hood of a car. This was an average brawl for the most part with a couple of standout moments. I did like how they used the bumper of a car as a weapon, though. That was pretty creative.

WCW Heavyweight Championship
Ric Flair (C) (W/Miss Elizabeth & Woman) Vs The Giant (W/Jimmy Hart)
The Giant wins the title with a chokeslam. The Giant says he'll take on anybody at anytime, now that he's the champion. Well, this title reign of Flair kinda sucked. As I stated in one of my Nitro reviews, Flair had become a caricature of himself. The Giant was being booked well at this juncture.
