Backstage:
Backstage, Christy Hemme is standing with Eric Bischoff and Gunner. Bischoff says he’s pissed off that Hulk needs to insert himself in his family business, but at the same time, he’s grateful. He says the Gunner is probably going to destroy Garrett. So much so that Garrett may never be able to participate in physical activity again. He says he knows it’s hard for a young man to live up to his father’s success, and maybe he’s driven Garrett here. He says he’s going to give Garrett and Hulk and extra option tonight, and that’s to throw in the towel. Gunner says tonight he’s going to finish what he started. He says they’re going to need that towel to wipe up what’s left. Direct Auto Insurance Presents....

Gunner is the first man to make his way out to the ring, accompanied by Eric Bischoff. Gunner is carrying a towel in hand, and he and Eric promised backstage. They get a little bit of heat from the crowd, but it seems like the crowd is about as excited as I am. Garrett Bischoff is out next, and since he’s with Hogan, he gets a good reaction. But the crowd immediately chanting for Hogan shows exactly who they care about. Tenay even references that the crowd are standing for “the trainer of Garrett Bischoff”.
