Terry: “MIL MASCARAS, you think you got lucky last week when the biased Mexican referee gave you a cheap win against mah brother Dory, and then you had the nerve to criminally assault the Undisputed Heavyweight pion of the World when I come into the ring to make sure my own brother is OK? This is the act of a typical Mexican, one who lied, snuck and cheated to get into California. Well, guess what Mil Mascaras, as you can see the van is ready, it is full of gas, even the oil is checked because tonight at the Olympic when I get done whoopin’ ya, ahm gonna UNMASK you, and throw you and every other dirty Mexican that buys a ticket to tonight match in this van, and me and Dory are gonna drive straight down to San Diego, and throw each and every one of you egg suckin' dogs back over the wall where you belong!
