In true WCW fashion, the promotion ran a tribute to announcing great Gordon Solie at the top of the 31 July 2000 episode and followed that up with this match. The story was simple: Shane Douglas was struggling to get it up for Torrie Wilson, so WCW dangled viagra on a pole for a match between he and Billy Kidman.

Kidman was dating Wilson away from the ring, which made this even more strange.

Another chapter of Vince Russo's 'On A Pole' fascination was unwanted, and it didn't even lead to a solid TV match. Douglas won within four minutes and acted like a kid on Christmas morning as he clutched the bottle of pills. Finally, the announcers beamed, the 'Franchise' could pop a boner and satisfy Torrie.

The more we revisit this stuff, the more outlandish wrestling at the turn of the millennium seems. What's wrong with the classic story of boy-meets-girls, boy falls in love with girl, the couple form a relationship, another wrestler tries to muscle in and boy performs crude blood test on unwilling girl?
