Sherry Lee Lewis the record is the race is a good Balls of Fire oh my God that's amazing I have a question uh you once cut a promo when you went when you were back in WCW and NWO and all that was happening and you start taking off your Rolex and your clothes and you're threatening Eric Bischoff and at one point you take out your turn he's tearing up hundred dollar bills he's trying to get the owner of the WCW out you're gonna come out of your handcuffs himself to the thing another I mean it is so funny it's epic he for some reason you do an elbow drop on nothing at one point my goodness sir starting to foreign [Music] [Applause] [Laughter] [Applause] laughs it gets better and better deep at one point my house my car whatever my I'll sign it over to you I will give you the satisfaction of saying you're right the Nature Boy if you have the you know what to walk the aisle here tonight one more time [Music] he drops an elbow for no reason [Applause] [Music] the one stimulation I think it's back actually right here it's right here [Applause] I ain't going home

have been able to wrestle again right so after I waited I sat home for a year cost me a million dollars and I said [ __ ] it I'll go back and then because they wouldn't they wouldn't give me a release and they gave me my check each week but the minute I cashed the check that I would be admitting that I work for him again so just another screw job then he ended up bankrupting the company anyway so right or not he the the combination of things right exactly he's going up against Vince McMahon well they thought they were going to put Vince out of business that's where they made their biggest mistake right Vince is a very smart guy hence the Attitude Era yeah they had 83 weeks that's it
