Missy Hyatt is in the back with Hulk Hogan. He lost the WCW Wild Card Title to Andre the Giant at War is Hell and, tonight, faces Jake Roberts.
“Hulkamania has always been about looking forward to the future, not backwards at the past, jack. Andre the Giant beat me one time, brother, but I’ve beat him 1,000 times before that and I’ll beat him 1,000 times again, dude. As for Jake Roberts, brother, this is a match that has been a long time coming. I’ve walked into the Snake Pit and I’ve walked out again. Roberts has been slithering around my boots for years, brother, saying I won’t face him, I won’t face him. The Hulkster always had bigger fish to fry, dude. But, tonight, I’m going to cook up some snake, smother it in training, prayers and vitamins and serve it up for all the Hulkamaniacs to chow down on, brother. What you going to do Jake Roberts when the largest arms in the world run wild on you?”

Rosemary is in the ring dressed all in black and holding a parasol over her head. “You sun worshippers should be ashamed of yourself. You’ll all die of skin cancer, while I’ll be safe and happy in the darkness. My skin is crawling just to be here and not in the good way I like. I hope you all get sand in the most uncomfortable of places.”
Charlotte Flair then comes out, steals Rosemary’s parasol and breaks it. Rosemary attacks. They fight and the bell rings.

Missy Hyatt has Jake Roberts with her in the back. She asks about his upcoming match with Hulk Hogan. Roberts gives a little laugh and smiles evilly.
“Hulk Hogan was with you earlier talking about how I’ve been slithering around his feet for years. About how he’s always had something bigger and better than me to deal with in the ring. The truth of the matter is that ‘they’ wouldn’t let me face Hogan. The truth is ‘they’ didn’t want to risk the snake swallowing the golden goose alive. The truth is ‘they’ didn’t want me to expose Hogan for the chump he really is. The truth is ‘they’ didn’t want to risk the millions of Hulkamaniacs immediately becoming Snake-aholics just like that (Roberts snaps his fingers). But this is a different place, a different time and a different world. And tonight, Hulk Hogan, you’re going to learn why ‘they’ didn’t want you to have anything to do with me.”

Rick Rude and Madusa Micelli are with Missy Hyatt in the back. “Kevin Owens is a fat, out of shape, no talent mouth breather who manages to somehow be a Canadian and a hillbilly at the same time. The only reason I took this match is to show every beer swilling fan out there with delusions of ‘oh, hey, I can do that. I can be a wrestler. I can stand in the ring with Rick Rude,” that you can’t. To be something in professional wrestling you need a face like Rick Rude, you need a body like Rick Rude, you need skill like Rick Rude and Kevin Owens, nor any fan out there, is Rick Rude.”

Chris Jericho is out in the ring with a microphone. “It’s ridiculous that I’m not booked here tonight for Bash at the Beach. The Ayatollah of Rock ‘n Rolla, the Sexy Beast, the King of the World, the Lionheart, Le Champion, The Wizard, The PainMaker and probably a few other nicknames even I’m forgetting. I’m a former, will be again, UWA Universal Champion and, damn it, I demand some respect.” He then points at J.R. Ewing at ringside with his entourage of females. “And I want you, owner of WCW, to tell me what you’re going to do about it.”
Ewing looks scared. Dolin whispers something in his ear. He then looks confused. Jericho demands Ewing get into the ring. Jericho demands to know what Dolin told him to say. Ewing said it was a name to trump every nickname Jericho just said, but he’s not sure how. Jericho demands Ewing say the name or get his butt whipped. He says “okay…uh…Joe Hendry?”
“SAY HIS NAME AND HE APPEARS! I BELIEVE IN JOE HENDRY!”
The audience goes nuclear and starts singing Joe Hendry’s theme. He appears at the entrance way and does the turn around look at the crowd. Jericho looks like he just crapped his pants…twice. Hendry gets in the ring and Jericho screams for everybody to shut up.
“You’re nothing but the flavor of the month and you can’t walk in here all cocky and cool, being ‘oh, I sing in the ring.’ That’s my thing. And I don’t believe in Joe Hendry. But I do believe in whipping Joe Hendry’s ass.” Jericho goes to strike Hendry, who blocks, nails Jericho and then hits the Standing Ovation. Jericho bounces out of the ring and goes to the sand. Hendry’s music comes back on and he dances in the ring with Ewing, Dolin, Perez and Nova.

Missy Hyatt has Kevin Owens. “Rick Rude didn’t say anything earlier that I haven’t heard my whole life. Let Rick Rude say that to someone like Dusty Rhodes, like Big Van Vader, One Man Gang, King Kong Bundy and every damn Samoan. The list goes on and on. The truth is that professional wrestling has always been about heart, soul, blood, sweat and tears. It’s more than just working out in the gym. It’s more than how much you can bench or how much you can deadlift. Rick Rude, tonight, learns that just because you look good, doesn’t mean you are good.”

Missy Hyatt has Tully Blanchard. “As Yogi Berra once said, Mangum, it’s deja vu all over again. You and I have done this dance before and we’re going to do it again. A steel cage, I quit match. We all know what happened last time. You beat me, but not this time. Why will now be different. Because now I'm fighting for the honor of my daughter Tessa Blanchard and the Blanchard family name. Notice she didn’t change her name to Tessa Allen. She’s proud to be a Blanchard and will be prouder still at the end of the night.”

The camera follows Jericho as he walks through the backstage area with his bags, looking to leave. He tells the camera to get away from him. He walks by the craft services table and steals a bag of Doritos and a container of Oreos.

Missy Hyatt has Magnum TA in the back. “Tully Blanchard was an absentee father. He comes in out of nowhere now proclaiming his love for his daughter. The girl I raised and who I taught how to be a wrestler and a person. Tully keeps saying ‘oh, Magnum lay off the tough love on her.’ Tough is the only kind of love I know and can show. But there will be no love in that ring coming up next. It will only be tough for one Tully Blanchard. Yes, Tully, we’ve done this before and we’re doing it again. And the outcome will be exactly the same. Believe me on that.”
Tessa Blanchard sits in a chair ringside for the next match.
