Interview: New World Order
Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, and Jeff Jarrett all wielded baseball bats as they entered the
ring. Hart called the fans stupid idiots and said that the NWO reformation had been in the
works for over a month. They looked at a film on the big screen that recapped several
events that led up to this past Monday. Nash said that the fans cheered The Outsiders
because they were hip. He said that the fans were dumb to believe that anyone in the NWO
cared about them. Jarrett declared the Salisbury crowd "the first annual Slapnuts
convention." He stated that in this version of the NWO, there would be no ham and
eggers and no watering down. Goldberg's music played and out he walked. He told the NWO
that when he was done with them, the question wouldn't be who's next, but who's left.
Goldberg challenged anyone of them to a fight right then, but no one excepted.

Revolution his personal ... HOOOOOOOOOO! The Revolution came out and Perry Saturn asked

denounce America, one way or another.

names, Ron and Don, The Harris Boys. Hennig came to the ring, but as the NWO music played
for Jarrett's entrance, he was nowhere to be found. The Harris Boys took Hennig apart,
piece by piece, venting their frustrations for the PTB on him. Finally, a three count was
