"Hollywood" Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff show up. Bischoff says there is nothing wrong with the nWo and that Hogan will get the World title back, and Hogan says that as he was laying out on Daytona Beach, all the women in the bikinis told him he was the man and that he beat Sting for the three count. Hogan says we will see the video proof that he is still WCW World Heavyweight Champion, as he is the only world heavyweight champion in the world and that this is the way it was, is and always will be. Hogan then says he likes all the "crybaby tears" painted on all the Sting masks, as Sting will never beat the man who made wrestling and gave everybody someone to believe in.

He reverses the decision of the previous match, announcing that Savage is the winner of the previous match by reverse decision. Lex Luger shows up and mentions how WCW has been trashed for the last year and a half by the nWo, questions Dillon being a man of action now and says he and the people are sick and tired. If Dillon wants to take action with him, that is fine, but he is tired of decisions favoring the nWo and says it is time for WCW to take matters into their own hands. He has talked to Diamond Dallas Page, The Giant, Sting and every other wrestler in WCW, and Dillon can do what he has to do while WCW does what they want. He also asks where WCW was during recent events where he had been horribly attacked, then says he and every other wrestler in WCW are going to do what they have to do. Luger leaves, then Dillon says he is just trying to do his job, and his decision stands.

Before the next match, Chris Jericho says he stands before the fans an embarrassed, ashamed and changed man. Jericho says that his behavior over the last few weeks has been atrocious, and that the real Chris Jericho is not the sniveling, whiny baby that the people have been watching every week; instead, it is the man everyone places on a pedestal, watches on TV every week and views as a role model. He apologizes to ring announcer David Penzer and presents him a suit jacket, then apologizes to the fans before saying this will never, ever again.

Zbyszko tells Scott Hall he took him to the crossroads of greatness, and he took the easy way out. He then tells Scott Hall he is "sitting on a first-class seat on the ship of fools heading straight out to Larry Land." Zbyszko then tells Hall he can still beat him, that he has retired men who make Hall look like Mother Theresa, and that he was wrestling all over the world while Scott Hall was "in some grade school picking his nose."

Mike Tenay interviews Bret "The Hit Man" Hart in the ring. Bret says that for years, he has called himself "the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be" and that he knows "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair takes exception to that, but he has nothing but respect for Flair and all of his accomplishments. At the same time, however, he believes in himself and that he has accomplished a lot of things, and now that he is in WCW, he has no other choice but to prove himself all over again. Bret says he will not stop until he proves once again that he is the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be. Suddenly, Ric Flair shows up, and says that since last week, a thousand people have told him to get Bret to say his signature phrase with him in the ring and to say his "coming around the mountain again" phrase from earlier this week. Bret tells Flair he will find out he is the best there is, was and ever will be and that he will prove it at Souled Out. Flair says that in the last 25 years, some people have said stupid things to him, and says that was one of the stupidest. Flair admits that Bret comes from a great background, but while Bret was in the WWF, he went around the world 13 times, and he resents Bret saying that he is better than him. Bret says that "to be the mean, I guess I'll have to beat the man." Bret tries to leave, but Flair stops him and tells him that he will find out at Souled Out that it is not just being the man; it is staying the man.
Despite the distraction from Buff Bagwell, Lex Luger beats Scott Norton with the Torture Rack after kicking out of Norton's shoulder breaker. After the match, Bagwell is put in the Torture Rack, and "Macho Man' Randy Savage runs into the ring only for Bagwell to be dropped on top of him.
