JACQUELINE: "Joey Styles, I'll tell you why she hasn't responded. She's afraid. She knows that if I can beat her, she won't look so intimidating anymore. Well, Chyna, you big skank, I am still challenging you for WrestleMania. What I want to know is, do you have the guts to respond?"

New Jack and Spike rush to the ring with the plunder, as Lillian wisely gets out of the way. Basically, a bloody, violent extended squash, as the Hardcores slaughter the jobbers. The crowd cheers every weapon shot. Both of the jobbers bleed. New Jack hits the 187 (top rope chairshot) on Rodney and Spike hits the Acid Drop on Pete for stero pins at 4:30.

Joey Styles is in the ring.
JOEY: "Ladies and gentlemen, it is my privilege tonight to welcome my guest at this time, she is the '9th Wonder of the World,' CHYNA!"
("Who I Am" plays, as Chyna makes her way to the ring.)
JOEY: "Chyna, you have yet to respond to Jacqueline's challenge for a match at WrestleMania. Why have you not responded?"
CHYNA: "Look, let's be serious here. Look at me, and then look at her. She's so small. She wouldn't stand a chance against me. I'd crush her. She's just envious of my fame and my beauty and my success. She's not in my league and she knows it. I certainly want to be involved at WrestleMania, but it will not be in a match against Jacqueline."
All of a sudden, JACQUELINE ATTACKS! She runs out of the crowd and nearly spears Chyna. Jacqueline slugs away until referees and security are able to separate the women.
