Those people out there, every guy in this locker room and even you should be kissing the feet of the Wrestling God for even gracing you with my presence in this shit hole of a town. Now you better give me two reasons why I don’t knock your damn teeth right down your throat for all the disrespect you have given me?!â€
Walker: “You know JBL, I was doing my homework this past week and came across something quite funny. You see, I found that you were traded from Riots to Anarchy. And this past week Riots got canceled. I remember talking with McMichaels and he spoke of how helpful your advice was in running that company and now look, ruined. I am contemplating releasing you just so Anarchy doesn’t suffer the same fate.â€
JBL: “How dare you! I am on a legend on Wall Street. I am on Fox news. I know more about business than you ever will!â€
Walker: “Is that right? Than how come you didn’t realize that HEW had voided your contract?â€
JBL: “You can count that I will deal with Leviathron just as soon as I am out of my contract here. Come hell or high water, I am going to be out of SWA.â€
(JBL walks out of the office as Walker shakes his head laughing.)
Jim Ross: “Obviously a very unhappy JBL exchanging words with General Manager Walker.â€
Jerry Lawler: “I don’t see why Walker isn’t begging JBL to stay! He is our most valued superstar! This is a bad move on Walker’s part.â€
Jim Ross: “Well King as much as I would like to question your business background, it is time to determine who Matt Hardy’s opponent will be at Hallowfest for the Intercontinental title will be. His brother Jeff Hardy or Mr. Kennedy!â€
