Steve Austin Interview
-The glass breaks, and Stone Cold Steve Austin marches down to the ring, steel chair in hand. Austin takes a microphone and his cooler of beer and gets in the ring. He's just a little p*ssed off. No, he's really p*ssed off. Last night he had Jericho right where he wanted him. He told the world he'd hit Jericho with the Stunner and become the Undisputed Champion. But down comes three pieces of trash to the ring. They wanted to come to the ring last night with Austin, so why don't Hall, Nash, and Hogan come to the ring right now. If they wanted Stone Cold last night, why not try and break off a piece tonight? The video breaks up and transforms into black and white as the nWo step out onto the stage. As we come back to color, Stone Cold reiterates that he wants them in the ring. He's got three Stunners with stink on it. They huddle up and discuss the situation. They start coming down the ramp, but then turn around and walk to the back. Austin calls them out again, but no one comes back out. Austin says that if they want to leave, that's fine. But he's got a chair, and he's got beer, and he won't leave this ring until he gets them in the ring. All they're doing is p*ssing him off more. Austin pops a Steveweiser and waits. Fade Out. As the television cameras fade back in, Austin proclaims he's going on strike. Whether it's black and white, red and black, red and white, black and tan, he wants the nWo out here. "Medal" hits, and Kurt Angle comes on stage with a force of security behind him. What is Austin's problem? If someone is going to take up valuable airtime, shouldn't it be someone who's actually going for a Title at WrestleMania? Austin hurls a beer at Austin and almost clips him in the knee. Austin had a shot at the Title, but he blew it. That's why he's got Private Security, hired by Vince McMahon because he couldn't be here tonight. Austin hurls another beer. Angle tells him that these are off-duty cops, so he better watch where he throws those beers. Angle and the Security march towards the ring, Angle proclaiming he has an announcement that requires the ring. Angle tells the Security to hold back as he gets into the ring. He tells Austin to leave the ring, but Austin sits back in his chair and gives Angle the finger. One last time: get out of the ring. Austin sits and stares. Angle approaches Austin, and tells him that if Austin isn't going to leave, he'll just have to make his announcement with Austin in the ring. Kurt Angle, having beaten Triple H at No Way Out, is going to WrestleMania to become the Undisputed Champion. As he does his spin thing, Austin leaps out of the chair and tackles Angle. The Security team rushes the ring. Austin knocks a few down, so the others bust out handcuffs and strap them on Austin. Angle says that he warned Austin about them being cops. Now Austin is going to jail, while Angle is going to WrestleMania. Angle tells them to take him away, but Austin does his best to not be moved. Eventually they pull him down and force him under the ropes. The take Austin up the ramp as Angle waves goodbye.
During the break, Austin was loaded into a police car, with Hogan, Hall, and Nash watching in amusement.

Mr. Perfect vs. Kane
-As Mr. Perfect comes out, JR announces that in tonight's Main Event, Steph will not be the ref, and if she interferes, Triple H wins automatically. Perfect says it's great to be back in the WWF. As he looks at the people and the crowd, he sees Brian Urlacher of the Chicago Bears. It was almost a "perfect" season, but they failed in the playoffs. The Bears lost; Perfect wins. They, like his WWF opponents, are imperfect. BOOM! Kane marches down the ramp and into the ring to take on Mr. Perfect. Kane elbows Perfect back and shoulder blocks him down.

Hulk Hogan Interview
-Again the video melts into black and white as the nWo theme hits, and Hogan guitars his way out. We come back to color as Hogan gets in the ring. It feels great to be back a WWF ring, the company that made Hulk Hogan a legend. It's great to be back with the WWF fans. They fought the Russians, the monsters, they even took on Andre the Giant, God rest his soul. He and fans took Andre and gave the bodyslam heard round the world. But the people turned on him. Why did they take Hulk Hogan for granted? He wanted to spend his whole career in the WWF. But suddenly, there was no respect for Hulk Hogan, and the fans drove him out of the WWF, just like they did to Michael Jordan. Ever since, he's had something he wanted to tell the fans. And now that he has the chance, he wants to tell the fans: "You can kiss my as." He's the reason all these people are here; he's the one that put the WWF on the mat; he's why wrestling is as big as it is today. There is no one in this business who is a bigger icon, who sold more tickets, who was a bigger star. He is the biggest star, past or present, in the wreslting world, and there will never be a bigger one. If Ya Smellllll! The Rock marches straight down the ramp and into the ring. Hogan takes off his glasses to stare at Rock, and Rock does the same for Hogan. Finally, the Rock has come back to Chicago. Hulk Hogan and The Rock in the same ring. Who'd have thought? The Rock heard what Hogan had to say, and he agrees on some things. But does Hogan really think it was the fans that drove him from the WWF? It doesn't matter what Hogan thinks! The only thing that matters is that Hogan realize it wasn't the people. The people loved him, believed in him. Hell, the Rock believed in him! But year after year after year of Hogan eating vitamins, saying prayers, ripping his shirts and running wild. The people eventually ran to the bathroom and took a hulk of crap everytime he opened his mouth. Hogan is a legend, an icon, possibly the best ever. And since he's back because of Vince McMahon, the man that headlined WrestleMania after WrestleMania after WrestleMania, why not have another go-round... with the Rock! They stare each other down, while the fans alternate between Hogan and Rocky chants. Hogan says that Rock is just the flavor of the month. What makes Rock think he's even in Hogan's league? Rock stops him and asks Hogan again. The fantasy match-up that will determine who is the best ever. But maybe it's not up to Hogan to decide, or even Rock. Maybe it's up to The People. Do the people want to see the Immortal Hulk Hogan go up against The Great One at WrestleMania? Rock does Hogan's famous ear-to-crowd, getting resounding cheers of approval. He again asks Hogan, yes or no. Hogan looks at the fans, looks in Rock's eyes, and delivers a stern "Yes." It will be a pleasure to kick Rock's as at WrestleMania. He extends a hand, and Rock returns the favor. Hogan offers Rock luck, because he's going to need it, and walks off, but Rock holds the handshake and pulls Hogan back. "Not as much as you, brother," says Rock, followed with a Rock Bottom to the Hulkster! As Rock marches up the ring and salutes the fans, Hall and Nash attack him from behind and knock him down to the ring. They toss him inside, and Hulk takes off his belt, lashing into Rock's back. Hall comes in and gives Rock the Razor's Edge! Hall makes the signal to Nash, who comes over and JackKnifes Rock! Hogan goes outside and gets a toolbox. He pulls out a hammer and nails Rock in the head with it. He rears back and hits the leg drop as Hall counts the 1-2-3! Hogan pulls Rock's shirt off and gets out the spraypaint, spraying nWo into Rock's back. As the nWo go back up the ramp, EMTs come out to help Rocky.
As we come back, Rock gets loaded into an ambulance and it drives away, until a semi pulls in front and a Lincoln behind. Hogan, Hall, and Nash get out and start smashing the ambulance. They lock the door with a chain, not like Rock isn't strapped down anyway. Hogan gets into the semi-cab, backs it up, and smashes it into the ambulance. He backs up and rams it again, then again. As he backs up, we see the side is completely demolished. Hogan gets out, saying he laid the smackdown on his a$$. They look in the window and realize what they did. They run to their car and drive away in fear.
We come back with emergency crews trying to figure out what to do.
JR and Lawler talk about how things in the ring are expected, but in the parking lot is beyond the business and unacceptable.

It feels great to be back a WWF ring, the company that made Hulk Hogan a legend. It's great to be back with the WWF fans. They fought the Russians, the monsters, they even took on Andre the Giant, God rest his soul. He and fans took Andre and gave the bodyslam heard round the world. But the people turned on him. Why did they take Hulk Hogan for granted? He wanted to spend his whole career in the WWF. But suddenly, there was no respect for Hulk Hogan, and the fans drove him out of the WWF, just like they did to Michael Jordan. Ever since, he's had something he wanted to tell the fans. And now that he has the chance, he wants to tell the fans: "You can kiss my as." He's the reason all these people are here; he's the one that put the WWF on the mat; he's why wrestling is as big as it is today. There is no one in this business who is a bigger icon, who sold more tickets, who was a bigger star. He is the biggest star, past or present, in the wreslting world, and there will never be a bigger one. If Ya Smellllll! The Rock marches straight down the ramp and into the ring. Hogan takes off his glasses to stare at Rock, and Rock does the same for Hogan. Finally, the Rock has come back to Chicago. Hulk Hogan and The Rock in the same ring. Who'd have thought? The Rock heard what Hogan had to say, and he agrees on some things. But does Hogan really think it was the fans that drove him from the WWF? It doesn't matter what Hogan thinks! The only thing that matters is that Hogan realize it wasn't the people. The people loved him, believed in him. Hell, the Rock believed in him! But year after year after year of Hogan eating vitamins, saying prayers, ripping his shirts and running wild. The people eventually ran to the bathroom and took a hulk of crap everytime he opened his mouth. Hogan is a legend, an icon, possibly the best ever. And since he's back because of Vince McMahon, the man that headlined WrestleMania after WrestleMania after WrestleMania, why not have another go-round... with the Rock! They stare each other down, while the fans alternate between Hogan and Rocky chants. Hogan says that Rock is just the flavor of the month. What makes Rock think he's even in Hogan's league? Rock stops him and asks Hogan again. The fantasy match-up that will determine who is the best ever. But maybe it's not up to Hogan to decide, or even Rock. Maybe it's up to The People. Do the people want to see the Immortal Hulk Hogan go up against The Great One at WrestleMania? Rock does Hogan's famous ear-to-crowd, getting resounding cheers of approval. He again asks Hogan, yes or no. Hogan looks at the fans, looks in Rock's eyes, and delivers a stern "Yes." It will be a pleasure to kick Rock's as at WrestleMania. He extends a hand, and Rock returns the favor. Hogan offers Rock luck, because he's going to need it, and walks off, but Rock holds the handshake and pulls Hogan back.

They lock the door with a chain, not like Rock isn't strapped down anyway. Hogan gets into the semi-cab, backs it up, and smashes it into the ambulance. He backs up and rams it again, then again. As he backs up, we see the side is completely demolished. Hogan gets out, saying he laid the smackdown on his a$$. They look in the window and realize what they did.
