Cornette wants to get Bulldog a return match against Diesel (for the championship) or Bret Hart (for costing him the title). He then says that Clarence Mason will help get The British Bulldog a fair shake. Mason says that the actions of Gorilla Monsoon are "outrageous, egregious and totally unacceptable," and that the contract specifically stated that the winner of the match would face Bret "The Hit Man" Hart at Survivor Series, not necessarily the WWF Champion. Mason demands that Bulldog get a match with Hart, as he would be WWF Champion if it wasn't for Hart. As for the wild card match at Survivor Series, Cornette says that Monsoon is trying to shift the balance of power by forcing The British Bulldog and the team Yokozuna and Owen Hart onto opposite sides. As for next week's match with Marty Jannetty, it's just something that Bulldog shouldn't even be thinking about right now, but Cornette and Bulldog agree that Jannetty will be easil used as a stepping stone.

This causes Luger to tell Savage he'll see him in the ring.

A young man with long, brown hair shows up in a limo and heads to the arena. His name: Chris Benoit.

Disco Inferno dances at the entrance ramp despite not being scheduled for tonight. He is interrupted by Big Bubba's entrance, but keeps dancing while carrying a boombox that plays his entrance theme. He is interrupted again by Road Warrior Hawk's entrance, but Disco Inferno decides it's a good idea to keep dancing. Road Warrior Hawk tries to intimidate him, but Disco Inferno steals a hat off of a kid's head and places it over one of the shoulder spikes of one of Hawk's shoulder pads. Hawk doesn't notice it until he makes it to the ring apron, and Hawk looks back at the entrance ramp to see Disco Inferno pointing and yelling at him. Shortly after the match begins, Disco Inferno gets on the ring apron and dances, and Hawk gets his hands on him, ripping his dress shirt off and beating him up outside of the ring. This causes Big Bubba to beat Road Warrior Hawk by count-out, much to Hawk's chagrin.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Hulk Hogan in the ring. Hulk Hogan shows up without his trademark mustache, and is now wearing all black - tanktop, pants, neck brace, sunglasses, belt, boots and bandanna. The only thing that happens to be its original color is his hair. Jimmy Hart is also wearing all black, and Hulk says he's in all black because the games are over and that it's time to take care of family business and beat The Giant and The Taskmaster at their own game. He calls out The Giant, saying that if he has the guts to come out here, he'll rip the neck brace off and face him. "Mean" Gene tells Hulk that a restraining order has been issued keeping The Taskmaster and The Giant out of the building, but Hulk says the restraining order won't stop The Giant. Hulk says he's in WCW to make Hulkamania grow, and now that the little Hulkamaniacs are redwoods, The Taskmaster wants to cut down the entire forest. He says if The Giant isn't man enough to face him at Halloween Havoc, then they might as well paint graffiti on the Washington Monument. As Hogan continues to speak, the Dungeon of Doom monster truck shows up outside of the arena with the local police trying to stop The Taskmaster, The Giant and The Zodiac. Hulk Hogan doesn't care about the police detail and is more than happy to fight them outside the arena.

Eric Bischoff hears from the local police that Hulk Hogan and The Giant are being kept apart outside of the arena.

Arn Anderson beats Ric Flair when Anderson hits Flair with some tape around his knuckles as Flair goes for the Figure Four Leg Lock. Ric Flair shows up on commentary and rips the headset off of Eric Bischoff's head and challenges Arn Anderson and Flyin' Brian to a match which will become 2-on-1 if he can't find a tag team partner.

Next week: Johnny B. Badd vs. Diamond Dallas Page for the WCW World Television Championship! Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Guerrero! "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan vs. Meng!

During the match, Hulk Hogan's limo makes it into the building, and Jimmy Hart tells Hulk Hogan to stay in the limo because The Giant is in the building and has choke slammed "Macho Man" Randy Savage and that Hulk himself is next as The Giant knows he'll be here.

Hogan said he had to do some soul searching, and after spending some time with Jason Pittman, a young Hulkamaniac getting ready for a double lung transplant, who told him to "belly up to the bar and look The Giant in the eye," he knows what he has to do and he's going to the back to take on The Giant head-on. As Hulk Hogan circles the ringside area and shakes hands with the fans, a person dressed as an old woman throws powder into his face and hits him with a cane. The Zodiac and The Giant show up, and we find out the old woman is none other than The Taskmaster. The Giant rips the neck brace off of Hogan before twisting his neck again. The Taskmaster then shaves off Hulk Hogan's trademark mustache. The American Males (Marcus Alexander Bagwell and Scotty Riggs), who are supposed to be facing The Nasty Boys (Jerry Sags and Brian Knobbs) in a tag team title defense after this, go after The Giant and The Zodiac, but they easily fall to The Giant.
