Kevin Nash pinned Rey Misterio, Jr. after an Outsider's Edge from Scott Hall.

This match was originally supposed to involve Lex Luger as Kevin Nash's tag team partner against Misterio and Konnan, but Luger suffered a bicep injury at the hands of Misterio three days earlier on Thunder and was immediately replaced by Scott Hall.

Reception

In 2007, Arnold Furious of 411Mania gave the event a rating of 5.0 [Not So Good], stating, "The undercard was ok but the main events dragged it down and there’s nothing SO amazing on the undercard to go and check it out for. This show got really positive reviews at the time but I think that was entirely down to it not being shit. The tale end of 1998 set the standard of PPV so LOW for WCW that generally people didn’t expect anything when they ordered a WCW show. When they got something they ended up being really happy about it. But if you look at the booking they totally fucked the fans over. They knew Flair was losing and still jobbed out Benoit & Malenko, Rey Jr, DDP and put the US title on Scott Hall. Yeah, Goldberg went over but if he’d have lost then WCW would have had to be completely gaga. Thumbs in the middle for this one but no real recommendation to check it out."^[2]

WCW World Tag Team Championship Tournament

After Rick Steiner was injured, the titles were vacated and the tournament was held originally as a single-elimination tournament that began with Dave Taylor and Fit Finlay defeating Lizmark Jr. and Super Caló on the January 7, 1999 episode of Thunder. It was changed to a double-elimination tournament, where a team would have to lose 2 matches in order to be eliminated, due to the constant interference of the nWo, who did not want the tournament to happen.
