Bischoff praises Hogan's outstanding wrestling acumen and technical wrestling ability. They are so trolling smarks here, and it's hilarious. They point out that Savage, Piper and Giant all faced Hogan and all fell down. Sting and Savage show up in the rafters, with Bischoff telling Savage he'll never get another title shot again. They tease that Savage has joined the NWO, but go so over the top with it that they don't give away Savage's turn. It still seems highly unlikely, which is a great touch.

Hogan wearing an Outsiders shirt is nice. Hogan talking about reverse fireman carries and him insinuating that Giant quit is amazing. Hogan runs down the has beens including Piper, Savage, and now the Giant. Sting/ Savage in the rafters looks cool. I like how they still act like Sting and Savage are in the NWO. Hulk accepts the giants challenge so thats three matches between those two in January.

Looks like the decision's been made for Savage to be the next NWO member, looking back on this segment now. Hogan and Bischoff talk up Hollywood's strong technical wrestling acumen, and then Bischoff plays Heenan to Hogan's Narcissist, as he fawns over Hogan's promised post-match posedown.

Hogan's bullshit and constant lying through his teeth around this point is fucking awesome. Bischoff is egging him on every step of the way and Hogan talking about how he beat Giant with a reverse fireman's carry was amazing. Bischoff's fawning over Hogan is almost comical. If Dillinger wasn't clearly telling people in the crowd to stop flinging shit I imagine the ring would've been full of garbage in pretty short order.
