JJ: “It’s just like this Lance Russell, these men didn’t ambush anyone, they just showed up to the event THEY helped create, Starrcade, to DEMAND WHAT IS THEIRS: THOSE WORLD TAG TEAM TITLES!
Tully: “What we did Lance Russell is bring something that this place desperately needs: CLASS. STYLE. TWO STAR athletes that can carry OUR belts with class and while the Fantastics are probably going to take their prize money from tonight and buy new van, we flew here in a private jet and a limo!
Arn: “The bottom line is this Lance Russell, we just sent a message loud and clear: we will strike anywhere, hurt anyone, any time any where, to get those belts. World Championship Wrestling YOU HAVE BEEN PUT ON NOTICE!

Lance: “WELL, WELL, WELL, NOW wait a moment King, first off all your QUEEN HERE stuck her nose in where it didn’t belong and THEN rolled you on top of Dusty when the ref was out of the game, fella!
Jerry: “Lance Russell that is all I can expect from you is bias! The fact is I had the American Dream down on the mat PINNED, for 10 seconds not 3 and I SHOULD STILL BE THE WORLD CHAMPION! You know what we need December 25 in Atlanta as part of Starrcade on Tour? TWO referees! That why when one of those pin-striped jerks gets knocked down because he’s out of position, ANOTHER ONE CAN JUMP IN TO MAKE THE RIGHT CALL! You know why Dusty Rhodes? You are right: I am the King and you are just a Common Man and you know what the common man does? They LIE, THEY CHEAT, AND THEY STEAL, well next time I will have eyes on the back of my head and when I get done with you Dusty Rhodes you are gonna go to the King’s Wrestling Jail like the criminal you are!

Lance is with United States Heavyweight Champion TERRY TAYLOR!
Lance: “A big disqualification win for Austin Idol tonight at Starrcade!
Terry: “WHOA WHOA WHOA there Mr. Russell, who is still United States champion?
Lance: “Well of course you are Terry, we all know that belt can’t change hands on a disqualification . . .
Terry: “In other words, Austin Idol could NOT GET THE JOB DONE. You see Austin Idol this is STARRCADE, and to be successful at the Granddaddy of them All, you have to be on your BEST game, in top shape, and ready for the pressure, the spotlight to make it to the very top of this sport. Don’t get me wrong, Austin Idol you are a legendary wrestler, and yes you won by DQ, but you didn’t beat the Rooster, the Cock of the Walk, 1-2-3 like you needed to, and that sir is why I #1 and you are on the outside looking in!
