Curt Hennig comes out to talk about how much he hates rap music. He wants to know what happened to good old country music. This whole feud was fun in a way, but also had some weird racial undertones. WCW looks so unhip.

 

Then we get an announcement that WCW has signed a deal with Tommy Boy Records. I don't get why they're spotlighting Booker T so much. They never quite explain what kind of agreement they made and what they'll be doing.

Hennig seems out of it, fumbling less-than-perfectly with his headset and calling Schiavone "Tenay." Schiavone hypes the "hip, new relationship" between WCW and Tommy Boy Records. Hip and new--that's Tony, all right. And what better choice to head up the West Texas Rednecks than Minnesota's Greatest Athlete? (Not that there aren't rednecks in Minnesota.)

 

Some guy for Tommy Boy declares that this is the first time that wrestling, in its long history, has merged with music. Oh come ON--no company who so shamelessly courts 1980's WWF fans should be letting that one slide. Raven expresses his like for Afrika Bambaata in a desperate attempt to lend this some credibility. Konnan comes out to spark a brawl with Hennig due to Curt's heinous and inflammatory remarks that he prefers Willie Nelson to rap. Fightin' words indeed.
