He says Spring Stampede, exclusively on PPV this Sunday. All new world champions in every division. It will be the day the title picture changes the way it should change. He says tonight, they have to think about the world title situation and the only fair thing for them to do was give Jeff Jarrett the night off because Vince Russo told him it has to be a level playing field. Since it is a level playing field, they are also giving DDP the night off. But that presents a problem, because people came here to see the very best entertainment in the world and if you ask Kimberly, she is the very best talent in the world. So they are going to give her an opportunity to prove that. Tonight, Kimberly is going to wrestle Madusa.

He says Bucky, yeah I'm talking to you, Bischoff. I'm glad he said that because I didn't have a clue that he was talking about Bischoff. He says I don't know what you're trying to prove, because if you've got a problem with me, I ain't got a problem with that. Let it be between me and you. But you leave my wife Kimberly out of it. DDP says he has an idea. Let's give all these people here what they'd really like to see and that's Eric Bischoff vs. DDP in that ring. Kicking your ass from one side to the other. Bischoff says first of all Page, you haven't earned that spot yet and second, It'll be a lot more fun to see what stripper outfit your old lady wears to the ring tonight. DDP says stripper outfit huh? He says he's going to come down there and kick Bischoff's teeth down his throat right now.
