Jeff Jarrett
"Stinger, you are correct. Tonight marks a new era. But it also ends an era. The era of Sting. Next to me (pointing to Jindrak) is the future of professional wrestling. Six foot six, 260 pounds. This is the new face of WCW and his name is Mark Jindrak. Sting, you were the face of this company in the 1990's and it is time to pass the torch. Do you have what it takes to face the future?"
Sting
"Jarrett, for years I have heard you run your mouth, but I can't think of a better way of shutting you up then stopping the hype of your 'future'. So lets not wait for a Pay Per View. Lets do it tonight, LIVE, right here on Thunder!"
Sting's music
