“THE ASSASSIN!!!!!
Assassin: “Dusty Rhodes, I have chased you up and down, east to west, north to south across this country, and have done all I could to destroy you, end your career but failed. But there would be only one thing that would make my life’s purpose mean anything more than ending your career, and that would be costing you a chance at the World Heavyweight Championship. Nothing on God’s Green Earth would give me more joy, more meaning, and more fulfillment to be the ultimate banana peel in the road to your final chance at a world title.
“When the King Jerry Lawler asked me to be one of his Knights to block your road to Starrcade, believe me Dusty Rhodes I could not say yes fast enough, and next week on World Wide Wrestling for once and for all get my final revenge on you and end your career by crushing your dreams!
