This card was basically just a modified version of the card
from 4/4 (in Philly, I think).  I'll be brief with the match
results...I really didn't watch the first four matches at all.
BTW, it was an almost *all-face* night.  

Zenk vs. Valentine - Zenk wins (told you I'd be brief :-).

Koloff vs. Diamond Dallas Page - same script as before including
Koloff hitting the ringpost.

Marcus Alexander Bagwell vs. Richard Morton - not much of a match,
Bagwell gets the pin.

Ron Simmons vs. Cactus Jack - several of us yelled "SPIT" before
the match but Jack either didn't hear us or wouldn't do it.
After he gets pinned, we try again.  Ahh, success.  He hocks
a big one in the air.  Unfortunately, it starts to come down close
to the ringpost.  But Jack makes the save anyway.  We were happy.

Bunkhouse with Windham and JYD vs. Austin and Zybysko - similar
to before.  Zybysko gets taped to the corner.  After lots
of board-busting and homerun hitting, JYD and Windham win it.
It was fun while it lasted, but I think it was only about 
6 minutes long.

Steamboat vs. Rick Rude - lots of interference
by Madusa, but she also kept distracting the ref while *Rude*
was getting pummeled (quite odd).  Steamboat DQ'd for using
the title belt on Rude.

Steiners vs. Anderson and Eaton - pretty good action here.  It
got a little out of hand and the DA was DQ'd for a reason
which escapes me at the moment.

Sting vs. Van Vader - This one was quite interesting and had
a very odd ending.  After seeing it, I came home to read the
other match report, and this one did not end like it at all.
Toward the end, Sting was in the corner up on the turnbuckles and Vader 
came in and threw him across the ring.  Vader went over to
him and kicked him in the face.  At that point, the ref pushed
Vader back to the ropes (for no apparent reason).  Sting was not
moving at all.  The ref was talking to Sting and Vader was back
in the corner.  Finally, the ref went over to Vader, who grabbed
the ref and threw him down.  But he didn't attack Sting.  He just
sort of paced around the ring for a while.  Of course, he was
DQ'd for hitting the official.  He stayed around, then another
official came running out of the back.  I thought it was staged and
that Vader was going to jump Sting, but both refs huddled over
Sting (who still had not moved).  Vader and Race (who had been
at ringside) finally left, and several officials came out to
help Sting out of the ring.  I still thought it might have
been staged, but he really limped back to the dressing room.
No arm-raising, no Stinger cheer (does that have a name?), not
much at all.  I think he may have hurt himself there.  It
really seemed odd, because the match hadn't been going on
for that long, and there was no apparent reason for the ref
to move Vader back when he did.

Shoot kept going through my mind, but then Vader tossed the
official for the DQ.
