WCW Velocity is at us PRETAPED from the Cricket Arena in Charlotte, North Carolina. Generic rock music amps up the show and we are with Scott Hudson & Don West at ringside who hype up the War Games announcement from Nitro, and Don West almost has a heart attack as he hypes a night of fast action on Velocity.
Match opens with a tie up and some quick back and forth mat wrestling from the two. Helms takes the advantage early with a few quick arm drags and locks in a grounded hammerlock. Kwee Wee quickly makes it to his feet and Helms transitions into a waistlock, which Kwee Wee notices, looks at the camera, then proceeds to gyrate his hips causing Helms to let go. Helms charges in with a clothesline, but Kwee Wee ducks it then plants Helms with a big Blue Thunder Bomb and gets a two on the former Cruiserweight champion. Kwee Wee tries to keep the action going and forces Helms into the corner and lifts him to set up a superplex. Helms manages to push off Kwee Wee and then crush him with a huge Diving Crossbody. Helms signals for the big move, and as Kwee Wee stagers to his feet, Helms hooks him and nails the Vertebreaker for the 3.
Winner: Shane HelmsBlonde Bombshell is backstage doing her hair and makeup in a mirror. Stacy Keibler walks up and tells her to get out of the way.

The two ladies tangle it up on the floor as various backstage officials try to break them up until finally General Rection and Shawn Stasiak show up and pull their respective valet away.
I guess Paul London doesn’t qualify as a Jung Dragon. London starts out with Skipper and the two go crazy for a hot minute wrestling faster then I think fans could keep up with. Skipper hits a jumping hurricanrana, then London hits one of his own, and both men end up standing up and facing off. Skipper cuts off any momentum with a spinning wheel kick. Skipper and Romeo isolate London with some quick tags and a bunch of double team moves. Romeo finally goes to put London away with a Northern Lights Bomb, but London wiggles out and hits a Dropsault on Romeo allowing the hot tag to Hayashi. Hayashi comes in hot and takes out Romeo and Skipper with a series of martial arts kicks and he even plants Skipper with his Wrist-Clutch Air Raid Crash, but Romeo is the legal man. Romeo quickly rolls up Hayashi and has a handful of tights and gets the 3!
