Tio: Cocoa, don't worry about anything, we got your back brotha! Cuban Assassins! We'll take care of you!

Valiant: Of course they will be in the tournament! You rank the Blonde Bombers on a scale from 1 to 10 and I would say they're a 35 to 40. Something that's been bothering us is last week those punks McGeek and Vomit came out and said they were the real deal.

Stack: Don't you think you should first focus on the task at hand. You might be underestimating Austin Idol.
Tully: (Sarcastic tone) Appreciate your concern Stack, it really means a lot. Let me be clear. This TV title will stay with me until I relinquish it when I win the TNT title. Austin Idol is nothing but a colorful clown. He's nowhere near my caliber and I'm going to expose him at Summer Blast. Terry Funk, get ready because I'm coming after you.

Commercial Break
Stack: Well Steve O's shenanigans give him and his partners the win. I wonder if he'll use those tactics at Summer Blast when he gets his Light Heavyweight title shot against Brad Armstrong. Speaking of Summer Blast, fans, please welcome out the TNT champion Terry Funk.
Stack: Terry, I know you have some issues with Tito Santana but I have to say, I don't think he had any selfish motives. He really did earn this title match.
Funk: He was put in that position because he got close to me and my affairs. Why doesn't anybody see this? Am I the only one? Tito is a manipulative and sneaky person. He thinks his plan is going to work but there's no way in hell he's going to beat me for this here title.
Cheers as Tito Santana comes out.
Tito: I'm very sorry to interrupt but I think we need to clear this up once and for all. Terry, I have the upmost respect for you and honestly was only trying to help. Then, I was given an opportunity to wrestle for a shot at the title and took it. Why don't we just have a good clean match at Summer Blast and compete for the TNT title as the true competitors we are.
Funk: You see, this is what I'm talking about. He does all this sneaking around then comes out here with his goody goody attitude and tries to make me look like the bad guy. If I have issues with a man, then I fight that man face to face. I'm not a sneaky politician, I'm a fighter. And at Summer Blast I'm coming to fight and keep this title. No matter what!
Tito: Ok, fair enough. I'll see you at Summer Blast.
Tito starts to walk away and Funk raises his title and starts to swing it at Tito. Tito looks back and Funk stops.
Funk: You see, I could of had you but I'm not like you, I don't do things behind the back, I fight face to face.
Tito gives Funk a cold stare as Funk puts the title on his shoulder and walks out.
