The Match:
'Mr. Scary' starts to play. The Emperor leads Todd and Terry Taylor to the ring... but NO GIANT?! They walk down the aisle... and then... the LIGHTS GO OUT! We then pick up the Giant walking down through the crowd... CARRYING MADUSA! The fans are booing as the Giant steps over the barricade and sets her down on the apron....

He climbs up onto the apron and holds the ropes open for her. She steps inside and waits for the Giant to come in... AND SHE SLAPS HIM ACROSS THE FACE!!!!

Madusa: THAT WAS FOR MR.PERFECT!!!! AND SO IS THIS!!!!!!

Madusa hits a BACK-KICK ON TERRY TAYLOR, SENDING HIM BACKWARDS!!! MADUSA LEAPS FROM THE RING AND FLIPS THEM THE BIRD!!!! The FANS GO CRAZY!!!! The Empire is in SHOCK!!!!! Madusa walks out!

Pillman: (at the table, to Heart Attack) This is all YOUR fault! You were up in the ring at the Countdown... talking to her... feeding her LIES!!!!

Heart Attack: I didnt't say anything that wasn't already true!

Pillman: WHY DID SHE SLAP THE GIANT?

Austin: STUPID BIMBO!

Heart Attack: Because he beat up Mr.Perfect! It's obvious she has something for him! You guys just don't think!

Pillman: You just WAIT! Sabrina is going to have something for HER!

Austin: (gets up from the table) Brian, I'm leavin', but if they give you any more trouble, I'll be back... and THAT'S the bottom LINE!

Everyone is watching Madusa walk out... and Power and Glory strike! They heave Bret through the ropes and follow him out, picking up chairs....

The Giant runs at Neidhart... who ducks beneath a forearm shot! The Warrior's eyes go wide at ringside and he rolls into the ring....

Power and Glory begin to pound on the Hitman. Terry Taylor rushes to the announcer's table... and GRABS the Publican's briefcase fromhim. He looks unhappy about this!

In the ring, the Warrior takes the Giant... and FLIPS HIM OVER THE ROPES, DIVING OUT AFTER HIM!!! He pulls the Giant to him... GORILLA PRESS SLAM!!!! The fans are BALLISTIC!!! The Warrior pumps his arms in the air over the fallen Giant!!!!!!!

The Emperor calls Power and Glory back...and they listen, standing on either side of the Emperor. Terry Taylor doesn't stop though. He grabs Bret Hart... PERFECT PLEX!!!!! The Hitman clutches at his back as Brutus and the Anvil rush in. Taylor retreats behind Power and Glory.

The Warrior steps back away from the fallen Giant, and the bell rings to start the match. The Anvil turns around, pulling his gloves up tightly around his hands....

The Anvil starts stomping on the Giant and then grabs the steel steps... and SLAMS THEM ON THE GIANT!!!! Neidhart pulls the Giant up and tries for a DROP DDT.... the Giant slams a big fist into his mid-section..... then rises up... forearm smash... Anvil ducks.... AND SLAMS A FIST INTO THE GIANT'S FACE! The Giant tilts back and is BUSTED WIDE OPEN!!!!

Pillman: HEY! That's a loaded glove! THOSE GLOVES ARE LOADED!!!

Heart Attack: I didn't see anything!

The Anvil and the Giant roll into the ring to continue their fight. The Giant takes a moment to rise up to his feet... and Neidhart... HITS A KICK TO THE GROIN!!! The Giant doubles over.... ANVIL.... DROP DDT!!!! NO! TOO MUCH WEIGHT TO PUT DOWN!!!!

The Giant pushes him off, snatching him around the neck... POWER CHOKE!!! HE HOLDS HIM UP IN THE AIR... AND HEAVES HIM BACK ONTO THE CANVAS!!!! The Giant turns out to the crowd, who begin to throw things at him....

Neidhart gets up to his knees... the Giant turns... and Neidhart... KNEE CLIPS HIM!!! The Giant GOES DOWN!!!! The Anvil begins to stomp on the Giant's knee..

Pillman: HEY! That's the leg that was hit with the metal ball bat this past weekend! He's CHEATIN'!!!!!

Heart Attack: Maybe he's practicing for ANOTHER injured leg!

Neidhart continues to stomp on the leg, and the Giant yells out in pain. It's all legal! Neidhart continues to beat on the Giant... STOMP... STOMP... STOMP.... but the Giant manages to get himself up...and to his feet. The Anvil looks afraid...backing up and lulling him into the corner... the Giant stalks in after him.... Neidhart reaches up to rake the Giant's face... BUT IT'S BLOCKED!!!!!

The Giant grabs Anvil by the throat with both hands... POWER CHOKE AGAIN!!! The Anvil is dropped to the mat like a rag doll. The Giant ELBOWDROPS HIM!!!

Terry Taylor claps his hands, then pulls up a steel chair and slides it into the corner of the ring. The Giant is signalling...FOR THE CHOKE SLAM!!!

Neidhart is lifted up.... ONE HANDED CHOKE SLAM!!! The Giant motions toward Taylor's chair... and begins to push Neidhart towards it.....

The Anvil begins punching wildly... like a man possessed. The Giant is rocked from the punches.... then there is a hard shot to the face... the Giant teeters....

The Anvil runs at him... and BODY BLOCKS HIM INTO THE LEGS...the Giant stays UP!!!! The Giant reaches down... pulls the Anvil up... and inverts him!!! He holds him upside down and walks to the corner.... TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER ONTO THE STEEL CHAIR!!!!!

The Giant folds the Anvil's arms over... 1... Taylor reaches in and grabs the Anvil's legs......2... 3...!!!!!!! Brutus and the Warrior come up to complain... but the referee calls for the bell, unaware of the outside interference. He raises the Giant's arm in victory!!!!

Winner, by pinfall: the Giant

Todd Pettingill gets into the ring as the Mega Powers collect themselves on the outside.

Todd: "BAM BAM...YOU COWARD....YOU WONT FACE MY GAINT NOW...BUT YOU WILL....IS IT COOL IN HERE OR IS IT JUST ME....(EVERYONE LAUGHS)...."
