Despite the promise of everyone being banned from ringside, Rick Steiner, Lex Luger, Cat, KroniK, and Ric Flair all interfered. The Flair interference was what caused the DQ despite it being the least effective and Nash no-sold it. This company, holy fuck. Who created the narrative that WCW was showing signs of life in the final weeks? They're a lying bastard)
