U.S. HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION “The Rooster” TERRY TAYLOR IS HERE, in a three-piece suit, wearing sunglasses and with a model on each arm with Lance Russell! (Only the models are on each arm, not a model AND Lance Russell)
Terry: “That was an awesome performance by Austin Idol and without question Lance Russell he is qualified to contend for this, the United States Heavyweight Championship, at Starrcade. As a matter of fact, I grew up in this business looking up to Austin Idol. Look, I got the sunglasses, just like Austin Idol. I got the fancy clothes, just like Austin Idol. And just like Austin Idol, yours truly, the Rooster, is a Universal Heartthrob, surrounded by these beautiful, beautiful hens!
“But here is where I surpassed you Austin Idol: I have THIS, the United States Heavyweight Championship. I have won and defended this title across the country, even around the world if you want to put a fine line on it, meanwhile Idol where have you been a champion? In Memphis? In Alabama? In Georgia? See Austin Idol you have always been the big fish in a small pond. Terry Taylor is the BIG FISH IN A BIG LAKE!
“Thanksgiving Night, Greensboro, at Starrcade Austin Idol you will have to look deep inside and ask yourself what you want to be: the king of the playground, or Mayor of the City? I’m that Mayor Austin Idol, and at Starrcade I’m sending you BACK TO THE PLAYGROUND!

Bob: “The Assassin looks like he is pre-1981 shape in this one, David!
