Eric Bischoff Interview
-Raw General Manager Eric Bischoff comes out to the ring. He has decided that as his first official act as the new GM, after he was fired, he would do something very special.

He tells the person to come out, and out comes Chief Morley. They shake hands, and Bischoff announces that his first official act is to reinstate Chief Morley as his Chief of Staff. Morley says that everyone is lucky to have a GM like Bischoff. Bischoff says that he doesn't need, nor want, the support of the people. He won't forgive them for turning on him last week, nor will he forgive the Superstars who were so happy when Vince fired him and then put him in a match with Steve Austin. He's sick of people laughing at him, wishing him luck, hoping that he'd get his ass kick on Sunday. People like Shawn Michaels and Jeff Hardy are the ones who will need luck, because they're going to compete in this ring tonight against Christian and Jericho in a No DQ match.

Little Spike had to stay so he can face Rosie, Jamal, and Rico in a three-on-one match. Bischoff says that he is an eighth-degree blackbelt. He has been a martial arts expert for over twenty years. Tonight, he's going to give an example of what Stone Cold has coming for him on Sunday, because he is going to fight in this ring tonight. And he will fight against none other than Stone Cold Steve Austin...'s best friend, Jim Ross!
