Eric Bischoff: “Oh I feel nothing, nothing but love here tonight from each and every one of you. Thank you all for loving me. But you know, as I look through the crowd tonight, and I wonder what you must be thinking, and I wonder what Vince McMahon is thinking.
You know for the last couple of weeks he’s been sending his little wannabes around demanding to talk to moi. Problem with that is, he only sends them where he knows I’m not going to be. But that’s okay, because I have a solution.
Sean Waltman, you want an apology from me? You actually show up at our offices on a Monday afternoon, when I think you probably got it figured out, even you Sean are smart enough to figure it out. I probably won’t be there. And as far as the apology goes, bite me! I apologize to no one.
But I’ve got a better idea, because Sean I know you’re just a little puppet and you do what Vince McMahon tells you to do, so Vince McMahon, this is for you. I’m coming to your backyard this Sunday..that’s right, Worcester, Mass. Got a little PPV thing going on, and I got a hell of an idea, just a hell of an idea. You want me, I’m going to be in your backyard, consider this an open invitation Vince McMahon. You show up at Slamboree, it’ll be you and me in the ring.
How about it Vinny? But I want to warn you people right now. If you think Vince McMahon has got the guts to show up, don’t buy this PPV, because I guarantee you he’s not man enough to step into the ring with moi. But I’ll be there Vinnie Mac, I’ll be waiting for ya, and I’m going to knock you out! See you there!” – Eric Bischoff’s attempt to raise the Slamboree buy-rate

HHH: “You know, a lot can happen in 24 hours. Let’s start with Mike Tyson. You know, I must have asked a thousand times … Is he locked in? Is he with us? Is he a part of us? Are you sure? Is it sown up? What I heard was – don’t worry kid, I got it covered. Don’t sweat it. You worry too much. It’s sown up. Let me make the decisions. Well you dropped the ball. But don’t worry HBK, because Triple H picked it up an now the ball is in my court. I’ll take care of the worries. I’ll take care of the problems … and I’ll make the decisions. This is the genesis of Degeneration X. Tonight, live in front of the world, I form the DX army. AN army to take care of business that should have been taken care of right from the start … and when you start an army … when you set out to do what no one else can do … the first thing you do is you look to your blood. You look to your bodies. You look to your friends. You look to the Kliq.”
Lawler: “What?”
Ross: “Well look who’s back.”

Waltman:” Albany New York, raise some hell, make some noise. First things first. I got a little somethin’ somethin’ to get off my chest right now. I heard Hulk Hogan come out on television saying that I couldn’t cut the mustard. Well Hogan … YOU SUCK PAL! So I don’t thing you have any room to talk about anybody cutting any kind of mustard … and Hulk I got some more advice for ya. You better not stop short or Eric Bischoff will go so far up your ass he’ll know what you had for breakfast.”
Lawler: “Whoo hoo!”
Ross: “Well, he’s telling the truth so far.”
Waltman:” And now on to important matters at hand. I’m sittin’ at home with my mind on my money and my money on my mind … and I get a call from one of my best friends in my entire life – Triple H … and he says DX needs your help. Well damn it Triple H, anytime you ever need anything from me pal … you got it … and I got something else to say … Kevin Nash and Scott Hall would be standing right here with us if they weren’t being held hostage by World Championship Wrestling and THAT”S A FACT ERIC BISCHOFF! So put that in your pipe and smoke it.”
Ross: “Well things are getting out of hand here.”
Waltman: “So the way I see it right now … this is a new beginning for Degeneration X and we are here to rip ass on the World Wrestling Federation and it STARTS TONIGHT!”
