Pre-taped promo from UWA Universal Men’s Champion Chris Jericho where he talks about Jake Roberts and Curt Hennig wrestling at SuperBrawl to see who gets him at Phoenix Rising. He’s not done with Roberts by a long shot, but he’d love to get in the ring with a real technician like Hennig. Let the best man win and then the best man will win again at Phoenix Rising, which will be him no matter who his opponent is.

“Wild Card” Bob Holly retained the WCW Wild Card Title by pinfall in a handicapped match against the Boogie Knights (Disco Inferno and Alex Wright) by pinfall on Disco via Alabama Slam at 9:45. The Boogie Knights work as a team for a while, but then they argue over who is going to get the pinfall and this allows Holly to come back.
