11. INT: Teddy Long - says that he and Norman have already beaten up Brian Pillman so they don’t need to keep proving themselves.  He therefore declines Pillman’s challenge from earlier.

17. INT: Sting - says that the only thing the Great Muta has proven is that he can steal the TV title; he hasn’t proven that he can beat Sting.
18. Rick & Scott Steiner (w/ Missy Hyatt) vs Bill Ford & Trent Knight - Rick ends up leaving the match early to go and sit with Robin Greene in the crowd and Scott wrestles them on his own.
19. INT: Rick & Scott Steiner & Missy Hyatt
