Clothesline by Jericho scores another two thanks to more slow-counting. Jericho manages to fight off the STF and hits a German suplex for 1-2-NO! Eric complains about a fast count when it was REALLY slow. Jericho hits Chono with one enziguri, but Chono catches a kick and snaps off a Dragon screw leg whip. Back in, we see another shoulderblock battle and Chono gets smart with a chopblock. Springboard dive takes out Chono, but he sidesteps a dropkick up against the ringpost. Jericho takes a flying shoulder tackle, but counters a suplex and takes Chono to the floor with a spinning heel kick. Back inside, they get into a test of strength where Chono turns it around into a cobra clutch legsweep.

Onto the match, Chono stops a shoulderblock battle with a boot and dumps Jericho out. One difference youвЂ™ll notice in the presentation of this PPV is the nanny cam shot from ringside that the director goes to every now and then.

The nWo voiceover/announcer guy makes screwy comments to introduce the WCW talent. Your hosts are Eric Bischoff and Ted DiBiase.

The whole set reminds me of either Fight Club or the abandoned warehouse where Zoolander and Hansel had their walk-off. The stage is pretty much completely dark and evil-looking. ItвЂ™s just WAY over the top, but thatвЂ™s the point. The new World order come into the arena hanging on the back of dump trucks along with this huge obnoxious police and fire truck escort.
