-----
In a pre-taped promo, Kurt Angle tells Brian Pillman to screw off. He wants Angle pissed and focused. Why, is he an idiot? Does he think that’s going to help him win? Angle is devoted to the Three I’s of intensity, intelligence and integrity. And his career will only be over when he’s carted from the ring in a body bag. Oh, it’s true. It’s damn true.

-----
We get a pre-taped promo of Kevin Owens sitting backwards on a chair in a dark room. He doesn’t say anything for about 30 seconds. He then asks Hulk Hogan if he hears that? That’s right nothing. No booing, no cheers. Just silence. That’s all Hogan is going to hear for their empty arena matcha at Slamboree. The only sound that will be in that arena will be the sound of Hogan’s head slamming off the concrete floor.

Magnum TA defeated Tony Roy by pinfall via belly to belly suplex at 3:50.

COMMERCIAL
Proud and Powerful (Santana and Ortiz) defeated the American Males (Marcus Alexander Bagwell and Scotty Riggs) by pinfall of Santana on Riggs at 7:32 via Street Sweeper.
Santana gets on the microphone and asks if that’s the best WCW has. They asked for a real challenge. Slick then comes out and tells them Power Station of Odyssey Jones and Will Hobbs have been looking for a challenge too. If Proud and Powerful think they are the real deal, then bring it at Slamboree.
