Oklahoma show up with a bottle of barbecue sauce in one hand and a broom in the other. He says he is tried of all the "hootchies" around here who cannot realize that their place is in the kitchen, barefoot, pregnant and cleaning the house, and if they aren't doing any of those things, they are useless. He says that Ralph Kramden would not have allowed Alice to get in a wrestling ring, and says "that silicone freak" Madusa needs to learn her role, which is handing her husband his slippers and his beer, and if she can't, then she is no good. He plans to give Madusa a taste of what will happen to her at Souled Out when he takes the Cruiserweight title from "her cellulite-riddled waist." He then issues an open challenge to any woman who thinks they can beat her. That challenge is answered by Asya, and as Asya beats Oklahoma up, Madusa shows up while Oklahoma smacks the bottle of barbecue into the side of Asya's head. Madusa sees this and gets in the ring, but Oklahoma stomps her before hitting her with the broom. He then takes the WCW Cruiserweight Championship off her waist and raises it up into the air..
WCW Commissioner Terry Funk, "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko, "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff and "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson are seen heading towards the ring. Meanwhile, the rest of the New World Order (Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, Kevin Nash, Jeff Jarrett) are looking for Scott Steiner.
WCW Commissioner Terry Funk, "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko, "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff and "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson show up. He tells Kevin Nash that he will have to do more than powerbomb him through the stage to get the best of him, and if it war he wants, it is war he will get. He says that he picked Orndorff, Zbyszko and Anderson off the unemployment, and the four of them are "The Old Age Outlaws." However, they are still young enough to kick The New World Order's (Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, Kevin Nash, Jeff Jarrett, Scott Steiner) ass. Anderson says that if adversity doesn't kill you, it makes your stronger. The nWo nearly killed him and he doesn't feel stronger, but he is still ready to look for the nWo and attack them from the shadows to get some payback. Zbyszko says the nWo will learn and realize that they are not looking at four individuals, but at tradition, and it has risen up against them. If it were not for them, the nWo would not be in the wrestling business. The world has gone through its millennium madness, but it is the same old century, and there are no powers that be or an nWo that will make it to the 21st century unless it is over their dead bodies, as legends never die. Orndorff says the last three to four weeks have seen young wrestlers from the Power Plant sit in the front row, and they have worked to keep the tradition that they have started alive. Some people may think The Old Age Outlaws may be past their prime, but he can stay up with the rest of them and he can still fight with the best of them, and The Old Age Outlaws have kicked every ass they've had to kick to get to where they are now. He says that if The Old Age Outlaws don't have another bite in them, they are wrong, as they are going to take a chunk out of the nWo's ass. The nWo shows up. Kevin Nash says it is ironic that The Old Age Outlaws have gotten their "early bird dinner" in, and says he was going to wait until Souled Out, but now Funk has to learn the hard way. He says he should be buying a couple of new suits so he can look good as WCW Commissioner next week compared to Terry Funk, then tells Funk what he has to say. Funk asks if that is all Nash has to say, because if he does not, he will tell him what his role in WCW is. He makes each and every match, and he is making all the match tonight. Tonight, Jeff Jarrett gets a couple of stipulations, and tells him he will be in three matches tonight. The first is a wrestling match, the second is a Bunkhouse Brawl, and the third match will be a Cage Match. All of the matches will be against one of Funk's close, personal friends. Jarrett says that is fine, but he wants to know who the opponents are, so he can kick their asses just like the Tennessee Titans did to the Buffalo Bills last Sunday. If one of them is Zbyszko, he will have to apologize for stretching him like he has never been stretched before. Funk says he will not be up against any of the Old Age Outlaws, but it will be against three of his close, personal friends. Jarrett hopes they don't die before they get to the ring. Funk says he does not have to worry about that, as he is going to be in the ring . Nash asks if Anderson will be special guest referee. Funk says he won't, but he has a referee in mind for the matches, and that referee is "The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit. Bret says he can't do that, but Funk says he can do anything he wants, and puts Bret in a match against Nash with the WCW World Heavyweight Championship on the line. Bret says they won't fight each other, and tells Funk to get a new idea. Funk tells them that if they take it easy on each other, he will see that they are suspended for a year from WCW without pay and that Bret will be stripped of the title. Nash and Bret say that they will take the year off, saying they don't need the money. Funk reminds him he will strip him of the World title. Scott Steiner says something, but as soon as he calls Funk a "son of a bitch," the rest of his statement is censored with a censor bleep. Funk tells Scott Steiner he is clear to wrestle and does not want to see him get crippled in the ring, but he is going to do something his mother should have done a long time ago and wash his mouth out with soap.
WCW Commissioner Terry Funk is backstage with "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko, "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff and "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson.

DDP says he's just getting started, and Buff asks how Kimberly is. Page says "I dunno, why don't you tell us?" Buff says that they're just friends and that he is a great listener. He then says he sees a sparkle in his eyes, and says he doesn't know if it is DDP that got the shortcomings. Page asks about Buff hitting on Kimberly and buying her drinks all night long at the bar in Little Rock, Arkansas, but Buff insists they're just friends. He says that he called him while he was in Los Angeles, California and told him that he and Kimberly were having problems and that he missed her. He then says that instead of listening to him, he tried to get Kimberly in his bed. Buff asks what would happen if DDP had an affair with one of the boys' wife, and says the sexual chemistry could be cut with a knife. Buff says that if that is what DDP Is saying, he would have done the same thing. DDP says he wouldn't, and Buff says he wouldn't, either. DDP asks why he should trust Buff, but Buff asks why he should not trust him. If DDP wants a lie detector test, he will do it. Buff tells DDP he overreacted, then Buff asks the crowd if he is a liar. DDP says the problem he has is the boys in the back mentioning how Buff keeps talking about how sexy Kimberly's birthmark is. He says it is not the one everyone can see, but the one only he can see. Buff says he's seen it, and so have all the boys in the back. DDP punches Buff in the face - after the five minutes come to an end as they talk about the birthmark - then notices Kimberly watching on a monitor backstage on the video screen. Buff Bagwell then pulls out a baton and whacks DDP with it, saying he did not do anything.

WCW Commissioner Terry Funk tells "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson to head to the limousine and get the next guy.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Stevie Ray. Stevie Ray grabs the microphone and says everyone wants to know what is going on with him. He tells everyone to listen up, and says he does not care about the fans not liking him. Seven years ago, he and Booker T came to WCW, and the people backstage never wanted them there and did everything they could to keep them down. All that changed when Booker T got a little success out on his own, saying the Television title is all they wanted him to have. He asks how Booker T is going to turn his back on him and the neighborhood, and says that just because he comes out with fine suits and shoes does not mean he is not from the streets anymore. At Souled Out, he wants something. Before he can say what that something is, Booker T and Midnight show up. Booker T tells Stevie Ray he will not fight him after all they have been through, but Stevie Ray says he wants the match. Booker T then tells Stevie Ray that he made his decision last week when he whacked him and Midnight, and says he will never wrestle him. Booker T turns around to leave, but Stevie Rayturns him around and slaps him. Booker T then tells Stevie Ray that if he wants a fight at Souled Out, he's got it, but "this shit won't be fixed."

He says that this person is a former WWF Intercontinental and Tag Team Champion, and that person is Tito Santana, whom he brings out.

Right now, he wants to talk about Head of WCW Security Doug Delinger, saying he can fine him all the money he wants, but he cannot take his pride or integrity. He gives Dellinger the chance of a lifetime to take a shot at him, and tells him to "waddle [his] fat ass out here" and take a poke at him. Dellinger shows up and gets in the ring, and Abbott dares him to punch him. Dellinger punches him, and Abott gets on top of him just in time for security and local law enforcement to move quickly into place.

During the match, "The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit shows up to referee the match, but Jarrett kicks him off the steel steps leading into the ring. When Jarrett re-focuses on Snuka, Benoit grabs Jarrett and hits him with some knife edge chops before throwing Jarrett into the steel cage.
