Quotes
Jesse 'The Body' Ventura: Mean Gene, I'm here in the dressing room with Undisputed World Wrestling Federation Champion Randy "Macho Man" Savage. Macho Man, I got a question for you; when you won the Survivor Series, and you were standing in the middle of the ring, with Elizabeth between you and Hulk Hogan, raising both your hands in victory, I saw Hogan peering out to the crowds like he always does; I saw Elizabeth enjoying the adulation. But Macho Man, I saw something a little different in your eyes; what was going on, Macho?
Macho Man Randy Savage - Team Megapowers: Oh, you saw it, Jesse Ventura; those were eyes of determination, yeah. And possibly the eyes of victory, yeah. The eyes of victory and the eyes of determination is what was happening at that particular moment, yeah. You got nothing on me, man, no. Uh-uh. I won the match, yeah!
Jesse 'The Body' Ventura: I understand victory, I understand determination, Macho, but I saw something else; when that match was over, and the lovely Elizabeth was up in that ring with Hulk Hogan, and Hogan had the 24-inch pythons wrapped around her, Macho Man, I don't wanna know what was in your eyes - I want to know what was going through your mind at that moment.
Macho Man Randy Savage - Team Megapowers: What was going through my mind at that moment was to be the sole survivor which I was! One man was the sole survivor, and that was the Macho Man Randy Savage, yeah. World Wrestling Federation Champion, yeah! That's what I am now, and that's what I am now! Yeah, now.
Jesse 'The Body' Ventura: Macho...
Macho Man Randy Savage - Team Megapowers: That's OK, man, not right now. I'm gonna tend to some, uh, new business right now. You understand that? I'm done here, man, I'm done here, yeah. I'm the sole survivor!
[leaves the locker room]
Jesse 'The Body' Ventura: New business? Ha! I think there's a little bit more to all of this. Back to you, Mean Gene.
[laughs]

Alternate versions
The Coliseum Video release featured a cold opening with Gene Okerlund, the first two matches being swapped around, the second and third matches both being heavily edited, and five post-match interviews (the first four were conducted by Sean Mooney, while the last was conducted by Jesse Ventura):
Bad News Brown talks about how incompetent his teammates were in their match against The Ultimate Warrior's team, and that he wants a shot at Randy Savage's WWF World Championship.
After beating The Honky Tonk Man's team, The Ultimate Warrior talks about he will take on all comers for his WWF Intercontinental Championship.
André the Giant and Bobby Heenan gloat about Andre carrying his team to victory by squashing Jake Roberts and Tito Santana, as well as brush off the rumors that Andre is terrified of snakes.
Jake Roberts vows to get revenge on André the Giant.
Jesse Ventura asks Randy Savage about his reaction to Hulk Hogan hugging Miss Elizabeth after their victory over the Twin Towers' team, and Savage ignores the question and says that everything is fine in the Mega Powers. But Ventura isn't fooled that easily since he knows there is a little more to it than that, before he throws it back to Gene Okerlund, who then closes the PPV.
