And with main events like that, it's a mystery why Nitro was constantly beating RAW in 97.

There was a teased Flair/Piper match for the main event but just ended up being another n.W.o. beatdown.

Pretty historically significant Nitro right there. It features a SICK brawl between Regal & Finlay.

Well its Vince Russo booking so your gonna get a headache trying to figure it out.

 

For the 3-way match I'm not really sure what the issue was but the finish was Jarrett hitting Steiner over the head with his guitar and Morrus ended up getting the pin. Again not remembering the issue I don't remember why Jarrett let Morrus get the pin.

 

Now with the Arquette thing, he of course had had his "historic" title win the previous week on Thunder and he decides to relinquish the belt to set up the Triple Cage Match between DDP and Jarrett that weekend at Salmboree. Russo and Bischoff come out and say that the cage match will be a 3-way dance and says Arquette will be in the match. Then Bischoff decides that Arquette needs a tune up match. He books a match between DDP and Tank and if Tank wins he gets a match against Arquette later that night to basically beat the shit out of him. In the DDP/Tank match Jarrett runs in and hits DDP over the head with a bottle and this KO's DDP and Tank is declared the winner. Then this sets up the Tank/Arquette match where predictably DDP runs in and hits the Diamond Cutter on Tank and puts Arquette on top of him to win the match.

This was during the NBA playoffs so the show was only one hour long but even then two matches, which had a total of 4 minutes 39 seconds of wrestling time, is pretty bad.
