Ron Slinker: I am new to this area but make no mistake about it I've been scoping out this area for awhile now and my opponent. I paid off the matchmaker to give me Snyder as my opponent as I feel I can easily defeat this old codger and go on to win the Central States Heavyweight championship. Snyder you old curmudgeon. Your time has come and gone after 30 years in the business and I will be the one to put you out to pasture. why don't you go back home and take up a hobby and leave the sport alone as all you will do is embarrass yourself. As far as these fans go they're stupid enough to build you up and make you think you still have it when you don't. I hate these stinking fans.
we see Slinker take the mic and shove it down to the floor as we head to a break.
