Jarrett:  Would you Texas slapasses shut the hell up and allow the Chosen One to talk!  I am here with MY world title, WE ran out the cyborg out of WCW.  Plus I have all the stroke around this place!

Hogan: Gene Bennett, you came out with all the power of Time-Warner.  You thought you could force us into a situation that we didn't like, well that didn't happen. 

The Thunder theme plays as Gene comes out on the ramp.

Gene:  Hogan, you are right, I tried to use my power, and you still screwed Goldberg out of WCW.  However, I have another idea tonight.  There are three men in the ring that beat Goldberg.  I have FOUR men here that didn't like it. 

Spike Dudley, Masato Tanaka, Booker T and Billy Kidman come out behind Gene. 

Gene: These four men didn't like what you did, and to be honest don't like you guys either.  So Hogan, since I DO have the power of Time-Warner, I am ordering an eight man tag tonight.  These four men against Awesome, Jarrett, Whipwreck, and Scott Steiner.  And Hollywood, you are banned from ringside. 

Hogan:  Ok Gene, you can play booker, that's fine.  But mark my words Bennett, come Monday, you won't be playing anything!

We go to break with Jarrett talking to Hogan.

Hogan:  Listen Steiner, what Jarrett did was out of anger, he knows it was a mistake.

Steiner:  Damn straight it was a mistake.  Next time I see that son of a bitch I am going to tear his head off.

Hogan:  Steiner, you know what you need?  A title.

Steiner:  Yeah, my world title.  

Hogan:  Well we already have a great World champ, and a US champ that ain't bad either.  But I was thinking, you know as the TV champion, you could get a title shot should Jeff lose his title.  We have to keep the title within the family.

Steiner: Yeah, I guess.

Hogan:  Good, because that punk Bennett from Time-Warner put you with Awesome, Whipwreck and Jarrett against Booker, Dudley, Kidman and Tanaka.  All you have to do is play nice and you get Finlay or Shango, whoever wins tonight.  Ok?

Steiner:  Ok Hogan, that's fine, but don't screw me over, because I will break my foot off in your ass!

We go to break with Hogan shaking his head and laughing.

After the break we see footage of Fit Finlay defeating Gangrel for the TV on Nitro.  We then see that in the back the Undertaker is talking to Shango.
