The nWo release a new paid announcement, where Eric Bischoff tells "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko his name will go down in history after Nitro is placed in the nWo's hands. Bischoff says Nitro should have been the nWo's to begin with, as they were cheated out of it, but not this time. He says that the last thing Zbyszko will feel will be his boot in the side of his head, then tells him that his fists will hit him hard. He says that Zbyszko hasn't done his homework and that he will beat and embarrass him, and says that Zbyszko isn't even a legend in his own mind. He thanks Zbyszko for making this too easy for him, and says that tonight's holiday Nitro will be a surprise for all the fans.

He says if that's true, then that's cool. He calls "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair a cornerstone of WCW, which is even cooler. He says this is the time of year when people should come together. Anyone who knows him knows he's "Mr. Christmas," as his house looks like a landing pad and he and Kimberly are known as "The Griswolds." He loves giving presents and getting presents, and at Starrcade, his gift is Curt Hennig and the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship. When he gets to Starrcade, he will rip Curt Hennig apart piece by piece, and Hennig will feel the bang. Page then leaves through the crowd.

Eric Bischoff arrives on a motorcycle before getting in the ring and bringing out the entire nWo. Bischoff tells "Hollywood" Hulk HOgan that tonight is his night, and that the nWo will take care of Lex Luger. Since everyone is watching and in the audience thanks to Hogan, Bischoff has a few gifts for him. As flyers wishing Hogan a merry Christmas drop from the roof of the arena, Hogan is gifted with not one, but two brand new motorcycles, one of which has Hollywood's face on it. (The second motorcycle with Hogan's face is brought out, as the guy wheeling the first one in can be heard saying the first one was not the right one.)

He says he has been a winner and wants to be with a winner, and that he has to be with Nitro. He considers his broadcast career to mean more than wrestling and managing, and sees that nWo is on the way to being #1 and wants to be part of Nitro.

A member of the Nitro crew brings out a box, but Bischoff doesn't remember ordering another present. The "nWo Monday Nitro" limo returns with Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, who heads into the asile. Inside the package is a plastic replica of Hogan's head, and Hogan is in shock as he looks over Bret's head and sees Sting, who swings down into the ring on a zip line to the end the show.
