Christopher says that he heard that Maven has sent in some words. Maven is in front of a Ohio Valley Wrestling banner says that Brian has everything in favor for him in his hometown , a hometown referee and Hometown cooking. Maven said that he is sorry about Brian Christopher's bad luck but will be at the Coliseum. Christopher asked what did he say about me having home cooking? I have some home cooking and it is called a knuckle sandwich with extra knuckles. This is a stepping stone to get me back into the WWF.

They have Downtown Bruno in a taped interview with Teddy Long. Bruno introduces Teddy Long who corrects Bruno by saying lets get this straight my name is Theodore R. Long. Long says that Jimmy Hart had contacted him about using one of his clients, Rodney Mack for the Midsouth Coliseum. Bruno asks Long if he knew it was a Southern Title match? Long responds by saying that he has an education and knows what kind of a match it is. At the Coliseum, Rodney will be the new Southern Champion.

The Southern Champion Mable comes out. It is sad that Jimmy Hart has to come to the WWE to find someone to take me out. The fans are behind me 100% and that the fans will boo Rodney Mac out of the Coliseum. None of Hart's tricks will work and I will always be the Southern Heavyweight Champion.

Jerry Lawler and HHH do a taped interview. Lawler asks HHH what did Jimmy Hart say to get him to autograph the jacket. HHH says that he was told that it was for a sick kid.
