It is announced that Scott Hall is not here due to a legitimate knee injury, and because he cannot defend the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship, the title has been stripped from Scott Hall by the WCW Executive Committee and awarded to "The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit due to the match not being able to happen. Benoit shows up unannounced, and says that earlier today, WCW's Executive Committee stated that since Hall is unable to wrestle tonight, the ladder match is forfeited as well as the United States title, which makes the new United States champion. In his opinion, titles should be earned, not given, then says one should sweat more in peacetime to bleed less in war. He came to Starrcade to fight, and knows the fans came to see a ladder match. To him, the title is vacant, and he issues an open challenge to anyone who wants to fight for the pride, prestige and notoriety of being the United States Heavyweight Championship, and says if anybody wants to get to the top in WCW, they will have to climb over the Crippler.
