The camera zips through at time lapsed speed through the massive Appleby Mall in Burlington, Ontario, Canada. There's hardly any room to stand! The ring is set up in the middle, and the announcers take their position.

Behind them...signing an autograph... is S.B. Peterson! More fans recognize him and clamour around him for autographs.

JR: Ladies and gentlemen... WELCOME to the Appleby Mall in Burlington, Ontario, Canada! I'm Jim Ross along with Heart Attack and Sarah D!

Heart Attack: I have to say this is PERFECT! If we have a commercial break... I can get up and get a little shopping done! This is GREAT! I LOVE this!

JR: I knew I'd hear that from ONE of you two!

Sarah: She's the shopper. Not me.

JR: Tonight, a lot of big matches...ESPECIALLY THE QUALIFYING MATCH! It's a FINISHING MANEUVER match that's been building up... Bret the Hitman Hart... and STING!

Sarah: They've been going at it for a LONG time!

Heart Attack: Sting gave Bret a chance at a cheap shot from behind last night... and Bret didn't take it!

JR: Hitman won't do that... no way! Sting's been doin' these weird tests. I imagine the Hitman passed that last night! Another Finishing Maneuver match comes to us from NITRO! It's A PERFECT PLEX MATCH!

Heart Attack: I hope Mr. Perfect gets a better reception then some of our other wrestlers that have wrestled in WCW.

JR: I don't see how he WON'T! Perfect is one of the most popular athletes in the world! Taylor... one of the most hated!

Heart Attack: Well, it's good for Mr. Perfect that he has Madusa Miceli in his corner! She knows her stuff!

JR: Of course, JoBo and Vader! We remember the I/C title tournament... back in March. JoBo wrestled the Undertaker in the semi-finals... but Vader entered the ring and caused him to get DQed! JoBo wants revenge... and he wants another shot at the I/C title... which Jarrett STILL has! That's another story though!

Heart Attack: I think JoBo can do it! He's been on FIRE since he got here! For the time being, HE'S the rookie of the year when it comes to Slammy time!

JR: Either him or Venus Victrix! They are two HOT commodities!

Sarah: Very true.

JR: What about this one! A lot of people may have forgotten the history here! The Human Phenomenon takin' on the CORPORATE Machine! THP was terrorized by this man! Remember... the CAMERA MAN incident! And... well... there was another time, too! THP more then likely wants REVENGE!

Heart Attack: It was as a security guard! We never found out the REASON for those attacks, did we?

JR: No we did not. Maybe tonight, we will!

Heart Attack: It doesn't seem like anybody NEEDS reasons any more.

JR: WELL! Take a look at this! Here comes the ROAD WARRIORS ..... and they got the Ultimate Warrior... and Brutus Beefcake with them!

All four come down the aisle with nightsticks.... and spiked shoulderpads. Brutus has a sharp pair of hedge clippers with him.

Sarah: Looks like EVERYBODY will be safe tonight!

JR: Can't call them Mega Powers.... call them MEGA POLICE! Let's get it started here! You can bet they're going to look after their Mega Power partner, the Human Phenomenon in the opening bout! Let's get up to the ring with Howard Finkel... for THIS opening contest!
