OUTLAW: Listen up! I’m the World Champion! And next Saturday, I’ll also be the Mayor of the town of Davie, Florida, where the average IQ of the residents is like minus ten I believe. And the women….
RINGSIDER: J.R., lets stay focused on this upcoming match….
OUTLAW: It seems that all the ugly women of the country have been sent to Davie, Florida….I like that new title though….Mayor Outlaw, or Mayor James,….or maybe Mayor J.R.
RINGSIDER: That’s if you win Saturday.
OUTLAW: I’ll win Kelly. The Mayor is not a wrestler. He's in it to grab the lime light and that's why he wants the World's Championship. He wants the prestige.
RINGSIDER: You sound pretty confident about winning Saturday. Have you thought what you would do if you are forced into retirement?
OUTLAW: Kelly, you tell
your readers,....wait, they can't read can they? Just tell them to buy their tickets, and get to ringsider early. Get a glimpse of their soon to be former Mayor. Come Sunday morning, there will be a new Mayor in town. ME! And my first decree will be that all the women in
Davie have to get make-over. And we'll first
start by giving out a FREE bar of soap so they
can wash them selfs up. Times are a
changing in Davie Florida Bob Kelly,...
Go tell it to my people!
RINGSIDER: You're just to much J.R.
