- Nakano's hair is spiked up and blue, while Hokuto's hair is red and in afro form.

- Shinya with several kicks, and spinning kicks take Norton down, during this contest.
- Bischoff is really putting Norton over.
- Norton no-sells a few kicks later on and takes the champ down with a clothesline.
- Norton with not one, not two, but three straight standing elbow drops..
- Tenay mentions the 20 minute time limit... Draw anyone?
- This match is rather slow.
- After Norton gets a two count on a power slam, the bell sounds for the draw.
- Just as I predicted since the announcers kept announcing the time limit.
- Your Winner: Draw, Shinya Hashimoto retains the title.
- Footage of the celebration put on by the Koreans.
- Which is quite good, I might add.
- We come back and Bischoff announces that this now Night Two...
- Tenay says this was suppose to the Road Warriors' reunion; however, Animal had gotten hurt.
