“THIS IS what a big ‘fish’ that YOU claim to be in World Wide Wresting looks like Austin Idol! Thanksgiving night, Starrcade ’87, Greensboro Coliseum I plan to not only gut you, but instead of putting you a luxurious plate like this, I'm GONNA THROW YOU BACK! Why is that? Because Austin Idol like I said you are BIG FISH IN A SMALL POND, AND ladies what do we do when we have a small fish?
Terry and the ladies in unison: "THROW IT BACK!"
Terry throws a sushi roll at the camera as the women laugh!
