WCW Title Tournament Match Semi-Final Match
Chris Benoit d. Jeff Jarrett

Things started out in a big way as the first of two semi-final matches got underway. Jarrett and Benoit, both debuting new ring music, were primed and ready for this all-important bout. Jarrett attacked at the bell, but Benoit fired right back, trying to end it early. As the action spilled out on the floor, Jarrett ran Benoit, groin first into the steel ring post. Bringing things back inside, the self proclaimed "Chosen One" wore The Crippler down, punishing him around the ring. Benoit reversed a sleeper hold into one of his own, but was quickly dropped, jaw first, across the head of Jarrett. Creative Control made their way to the ringside area as Jarrett threw Benoit over the ropes to the floor. Jeff brought Benoit back in and a series of near falls ensued. Benoit delivered a diving headbutt from the top, but as he attempted a pinfall, Creative Control pulled him off, breaking up the count. Jarrett laid The Crippler out and went for the pin, but Dustin Rhodes, out of the stands, broke it up. In the end, it was Chris Benoit, after a failed guitar shot by Creative Control, who got the guitar and drove it over the head of Jarrett, getting the pin and advancing in the tournament. After the match, Creative Control attacked Benoit in the ring, but were run off by Rhodes.

Interview: Disco Inferno

As Mike Tenay talked with Disco behind the curtain, Creative Control and Jarrett came back from the ring and took out their frustrations on the dancing one. Disco was beat down, but Tony Marinara insisted that Inferno make it to the ring for his Cruiserweight title match.

Karagias, with the beautiful Madusa at his side, waited for Disco to slowly make it to the ring.

Disco threw Evan onto the floor and jumped off the apron onto him, only to be met with a Karagias dropkick. Disco approached Madusa at ringside, but was slapped across the face. Marinara got up and hit on Madusa, but was stopped by an incensed Karagias. This distraction allowed Disco to sneak around with a steel chair, but hit Marinara in the head by accident. Back inside, Evan scored the pin over a distraught Disco, winning his first WCW championship.

The "Powers That Be" gave Jeff Jarrett a tongue lashing in the dressing room area and told Jeff that he had until the end of the night to prove his worth or consider his favors over.

After exchanging broomstick and garbage can shots, Knobs threw Smiley into a table in the hallway. Jimmy Hart was throwing food cans at Smiley as both men made their way into an elevator. The door shut and when it opened, Hart hit Knobs by accident with a garbage can, allowing Smiley to gain the pin and become the first ever WCW Hardcore Champion.

It was a Canadian main event for the WCW World Title and the Toronto crowd loved it. Both men shook hands and the match was underway. The technical expertise of Bret was evident as he wore The Crippler down with submission holds. A mat technician himself, Benoit countered Hart and sent him to the canvas. As Bret went for the Sharpshooter, Benoit squirmed out of it and was able to put on the Crippler Crossface. Bret, the ring general that he is, was near enough to the ropes to break the hold. Benoit was sent out to the floor and a fan, sporting a Canadian hockey jersey and wearing face paint, jumped the rail and attacked Benoit with a flagstaff. The assailant was Dean Malenko and as he spit on Benoit, Bret came out of the ring for the save and security led The Iceman away.

After Benoit delivered a diving headbutt, Hall and Nash pulled referee Charles Robinson out of the ring and knocked him cold.
