The four of them will be at the top of the Raddison Hotel tonight with double security, but he has one other order of business: Steve "Mongo" McMichael, whose wife Flair says he can't get out of his back pocket. Mongo shows up and confronts Flair, telling him he can cash a few checks on him just like Flair has done to him. Flair tells Mongo he's made a mistake tangling with him, and says that he has "The Enforcer" with him now, unlike last week. Flair challenges him to bring anybody he wants to a match against himself and Anderson. Mongo has that base covered: Kevin Greene, now of the Carolina Panthers, who wants to go right now, forcing Flair and company to flee as security keep the two sides apart. Mongo says that Kevin Greene is just part of his plan, and Greene tells Flair that he and Mongo are ready to go anytime, and tells Flair to bring his mouthpiece as it will be an all-day affair.

Robert Parker, and Slater fights Eaton after he is eliminated soon after.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews The Giant and Jimmy Hart. Jimmy Hart is isn't too late for him and Lex Luger to not be handcuffed together. The Giant says Sting has been on top of the mountain, but he's not on top right now.

He then tells Diamond Dallas Page to think about what happened tonight and what's going to happen to him.

The Giant retains the WCW World Heavyweight Championship against Sting after Sting inadvertently knocks out the ref with a back elbow from the apron and Jimmy Hart manages to hit Sting ibetween the eyes with his megaphone despite being handcuffed to Lex Luger.
