The fat ladies have a hard time getting in the ring since they are in viking gear. After a brief Q&A the fat ladies sing "Na na na hey hey goodbye." A suit comes to the ring and tells Jarrett to cut this. The announcers claim this guy is Standards & Practices, but I thought that was Lenny & Lodi. Anyway, the suit tells the fat ladies to get out the ring and while his back is turned, Jarrett gets his guitar and clocks him with it. A very good bit.

20 MAN BATTLE ROYAL
Cat sends the heels to the ring for the battle royal. Nash comes out and Cat holds back the faces. Meanwhile, one by one Nash takes out the heels. Eventually, the heels get the advantage and Cat sends out the faces. The faces even up the odds. Goldberg then comes out. Goldberg takes out Nash with a sidekick and sets up for the spear, but Nash kicks Goldberg off the apron and onto some people outside. Nash wins the battle royal even though he didn't knock Goldberg over the top rope. A big shmoz then erupts to close the show. Possibly one of the worst battle royals I have ever seen and I have rarely seen a good one. In case you were wondering, the heels were the Filthy Animals, Stasiak & Palumbo, Shane Douglas, Vito, and Kanyon. The faces were MIA, Kidman, Storm, Johnny "The Bull," and Booker T. However, it really didn't matter as they were there to bump and fill space.
