-Commercial Break-
We see clips of the Halloween Havoc main event involving Hulk Hogan and The Giant.
We cut to the ring and The Giant, Lex Luger, Kevin Sullivan and Jimmy Hart are in the ring with Tony Schiavone. The Giant is wearing Hulk Hogan’s WCW World Heavyweight Championship and Tony tells him that is not his belt. Tony says The Giant didn’t win that belt. He turns to Jimmy Hart and Jimmy tells him that the entire world wants to know why he turned his back on Hogan.
Jimmy says maybe you will read about it in his new book or maybe he will tell everyone why next week on Nitro. But Sullivan tol d Hogan that he told him that he had evil living in his house and that evil was Jimmy Hart. He says that he was Kevin Sullivan’s only manager ever and The Giant and Luger are the future.
Luger says what an evening that was. The vision of Hulk Hogan laying in a crumpled, pathetic heat. Savage laying there too. He says it’s a pile of garbage. Hogan called him a little dog, a vulture but Hogan got a piece of him and The Giant has his belt. The Giant says you can say what you want, do what you will but no one is going to knock The Giant off the hill. And he will defend that title against anyone.
Sullivan says he told Hogan this would happen. There are no friends, there is only foe, everyone has their own agenda. He says The Giant is a fighting champion and The Giant will defend his belt next week on Nitro.
Tony says next week will be a live interactive Nitro and Nitro goes off the air.
Roy’s thoughts: Interesting to see what they do with The Giant and the belt. Luger was never the greatest on the microphone, putting him with Jimmy Hart was a good idea.
