Jim Ross: Welcome to the Norfolk Scope in Norfolk, Virginia. It is our first time in Virginia since WCW started up again and it's been a pleasure to be here.
Jesse Ventura: A pleasure? I can't wait to get out of this God forsaken city. I hate this mudhole of a city. I'm leaving tonight after the PPV and you can't make me stay.
Jim Ross: You can say what you want about this fine city, but the people sure won't welcome you with open arms.
Jesse Ventura: Good, I don't want these toothless freaks welcoming me here, I just want to finish this event and get the hell out of dodge.
Jim Ross: Well then can you be quiet so we can get this event under way?
Jesse Ventura: If me being quiet gets me out of here faster, when then consider it done.
Jim Ross: Remember the first fall is to decide the United States Champion and Terry Gordy won the right for his team to start first and to pick who starts first with them. So, let's send it up to Gary Michael Cappetta to introduce the participants in the match.

Lex Luger, Ron Simmons and Terry Funk vs Dusty Rhodes, Big Boss Man and Harley Race vs JBL, Rick Martel and Vince McMahon vs the Trinity of Divinity vs the Fabulous Freebirds vs the Horsemen
The match started with Terry Gordy and Vince McMahon, which was as one sided as you'd expect. Gordy dominated and when Vince tried making the tag to his team mates, they backed away not wanting to get in the ring with the beast Terry Gordy. What Vince forgot was you could tag in any man in the match. Gordy continued to dominate until he finally hit a powerbomb and pinned Vince and got a two when Paul Orndorff, the US champ made the save, not wanting to lose his title. He dragged Vince to his corner and was going to tag him when Gordy attacked him. The other members of Orndorff's team got in to help him but the Freebirds were right there helping Gordy. The freebirds got the Divinity out of the ring and Gordy gave McMahon another powerbomb and this time got the 3 count.
