In-ring
Interview: Ron Strong
is in the ring with RCW matchmaker Marty Goldstein as well as Greg "the hammer" Valentine. Goldstein]
As you know Ron, and as the fans know, The Destroyer beat this man, Greg Valentine last week to retain his RCW Heavyweight
title. The fans
cheer the name of the Destroyer. Goldstein]
However, it was clear on the replay that Valentine's foot was draped over the bottom rope. Therefore, as we already know Valentine
will be granted another title shot next week. Valentine]
Now hang on there a second Goldstein. You can give me as many title shots as you want...a title shot, is not the same thing
as a title chance. Strong]
What is that supposed to mean? Valentine]
I would think it would be obvious if your hearing and brain weren't permanently damaged from the cold up here in Goldstein]
You've had every fair chance in River City Valentine, it's not... Valentine]
...yeah just like last week? I tell you what Goldstein, you want it to be fair? Then let me assign the special guest referee
for next week's match. Goldstein]
No way! Your just going to get one of your cronies to help you cheat to the title. I will pick the referee for next week,
and if you don't like it, you can pack your bags and leave. Valentine]
Maybe I'll just do that then. The crowd
first cheers the news that Valentine may leave, but then cheer even louder when the Destroyer is spotted
walking down to the ring, wearing jeans, red Converse sneakers, a "Journey" t-shirt, and his ever present white and black
mask. Strong]
Ladies and gentlemen, your Destroyer]
Thank you fans, and than you Mr. Strong. Now, Mr. Goldstein with all due respect sir, I want this title I hold to mean something,
not just for our fans but for fans around the world. I want the best talent in the world to come to Valentine]
How about my former tag team partner, Ray "the Crippler" Stevens? The fans
cheer the mention of the crippler, and the Destroyer takes a step back, measuring the crowd's response but looking somewhat
hesitant. Valentine]
What's the matter Destroyer? You got a yellow streak down your back to go along with the streak down your mask? Destroyer]
I'm not sure I can trust Stevens yet to be impartial. The crowd
cheers now as they see Ray Stevens hurrying down to the ring to join the interview. Strong]
Speak of the devil himself... Stevens]
Thanks gentlemen for the invitation, but I'm really not interested. I have my own agenda, and it consists of first beating
the Bounty Hunter for the television gold, and then taking that gold from you Destroyer. I can assure everyone that I no longer
have any association with scum like Valentine. If you don't want to believe that Destroyer that's fine, I could care less,
because frankly I don't want any part of this. Valentine]
I was afraid something like this might happen. That's why I have a back-up plan. I have contacted another man who would be
interested in coming up to The fans
cheer and then boo the name Patterson. Valentine]
What do you have to say about that choice? Destroyer
looks to Stevens to speak. Stevens]
Like I said, I could care less what goes on between you two guys, but I'll tell you one thing, Pat Patterson is one of the
most dangerous men alive. We fought up and down Destroyer]
Enough talk. It's settled then..I will accept. Next week Valentine, me and you, with Patterson as the special guest referee.
If that is all right with you Mr. Goldstein. Goldstein]
