SoCal Val has Shane McMahon in the back. He talks about what a great signing Randy Savage is. Also, he doesn’t condone the way Bob Holly has brought back the old Wild Card Title, but Shane admits he regrets having done away with the WCW Television Title and a new belt, that has to be defended in stipulation bouts, is just what WCW needs to stand out in the UWA.
Additionally, he feels the great women’s division needs another title and a tournament will start on the next Nitro to crown the first WCW Gulf Coast Women’s Champion.
Val then asks about the street fight with Nick Aldis later tonight. Oh yeah, that is tonight. Well, Shane isn’t sweating Aldis. He’s got a lot going on running WCW, but he’s still got plenty left to takeout the cocky and arrogant former UWA Men’s Universal Champion.

Saying that makes you the dumbest b*tch on the planet. Rosa, you opened your mouth when you should have kept it shut and now I have to make an example out of you. I have to make you the one that every other woman in the UWA points to and say ‘hey, don’t p*ss off Jade Cargill or she’ll turn you inside out like she did Thunder Rosa at Starrcade.’ You won your title match at the wrong d*mn time, because I am that b*tch.”
