He says that Hulk Hogan has an evil side, and the difference between him and Hulk Hogan is that he knew he was the personification of evil and that Hulk still has a pocket of goodness left in him. He had Hulk's mustache shaved off in order to destroy his dignity, and after Halloween Havoc, all of the Hulkamaniacs who have "bought in" will become children of evil. The Giant plans to push him all over the rooftop and push him off, then drag him into the ring and take the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.

Disco Inferno dances at the entrance ramp despite not being scheduled for tonight. He is interrupted by Big Bubba's entrance, but keeps dancing while carrying a boombox that plays his entrance theme. He is interrupted again by Road Warrior Hawk's entrance, but Disco Inferno decides it's a good idea to keep dancing. Road Warrior Hawk tries to intimidate him, but Disco Inferno steals a hat off of a kid's head and places it over one of the shoulder spikes of one of Hawk's shoulder pads. Hawk doesn't notice it until he makes it to the ring apron, and Hawk looks back at the entrance ramp to see Disco Inferno pointing and yelling at him.

Hulk says he's in WCW to make Hulkamania grow, and now that the little Hulkamaniacs are redwoods, The Taskmaster wants to cut down the entire forest.
