Jim Ross can’t believe that Madusa set Scott Steiner up to fail in the match. Ross truly thought that Madusa had feelings for Steiner but apparently used Scott Steiner to help Rude retain the championship. Ventura says it’s what a true champion does. Ventura thinks it great that Rude sent a “scout” of sorts to help him defeat Scott Steiner and doesn’t believe there is anything wrong with doing so. Ross finds the whole situation sickening. Ross and Ventura promote the six man tag team elimination match which is coming up next!

After the match, Rick Steiner tries telling the referee that he was low blowed by Studd but the referee tells him he didn’t see it so he can’t call it. Vegas and Studd head up the ramp way with Diamond Dallas Page by their side mocking Rick Steiner.

Jim Ross is clearly not happy with the Vegas Connection continuing to cheat to win matches. Ross doesn’t believe that the Vegas Connection are as good as they claim they are and that they will never be the stars they want to be if they can’t win the right way. Jesse Ventura defends the Vegas Connection by saying that they simply out smarted Rick Steiner, JYD and Ron Simmons “which isn’t hard to do anyway”. Ross can’t believe Ventura would say that, but Ventura says he is saying the what he believes. Ross gives up on Ventura and begins to hype up the much anticipated WCW World Heavyweight Championship match with Lex Luger defending against former friend and tag team partner, Sting. Ross goes over the history between both men which included Luger turning on the fans in July of 1991 to win the championship belt and even putting a bounty on Sting to avoid having to face him here tonight. Ventura believes that Luger will get the job done tonight and will win his own bounty that was placed on Sting. Ross says it is time to find up as Lex Luger versus Sting for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, is next!

Jim Ross is appalled that the Vegas Connection has ruined two matches. Jesse Ventura again disagrees and says that they made two of the best outcomes of the evening. Ross is strongly upset with the finish to the much anticipated main event of the evening and believes that Sting should be given another match but with the other wrestlers barred from ringside. Jim Ross can’t believe Jesse Ventura truly supports those actions and tells Ventura that he was better than that. Ventura says clearly he isn’t. Ross regains composure to plug the next time WCW will be live on pay per view in May with the event known as Wrestle War. In the meantime, Ross hypes up the Clash of the Champions taking place next month. Ross and Ventura sign off ending the broadcast.
