Dixie Carter, The Champion and His Challenger
Carter says despite being the unbendable, unbreakable, unpinned, un-submitted, undisputed, undefeated World Heavyweight Champion, he’s not in a very good mood – because no one’s talking about the him, rather they’re clamoring about his challenger, Drew Galloway.
