Roberts, “Welcome to the ‘Snake Pit’. My guests today, are a man chasing the Intercontinental Championship, and his manager.”
Rick Rude, and Bobby ‘The Brain’ Heenan come out. Heenan seems leary of Damien.
Heenan, “Keep that snake away from us!”
Roberts, “Oh I will, but that’s not the snake you need to worry about. Let’s get right to the point. Rude, you’ve come close to beating the Ultimate Warrior, but my man, you can't seem to get it done.”
Heenan, “Listen Roberts, you’re trying to get to Rick, but it won’t work. We are patient men. We know it’s only a matter of time before that musclebound moron makes a mistake, and Rick will be the new Champion. Tell him Rick.”
Rude, “Ultimate Warrior, you’ve got muscles, but no brains, I’ve got both. The next time we meet, you’re going to get a ‘Rude awakening’, and like Bobby says, I’l be the Champion.”
Roberts, “You two seem pretty confident, but you have to do it, not talk about it.”
