Beating up older guys like Arnold Skaaland and attacking smaller guys like me. But you don't pick on the guys that can defend themselves, huh? You don't want to mess with the Bruno Sammartinos because you know they'd kick your juiced up ass. You weren't involved in any of this until last Wednesday night, but you decided to make it personal, you decided to get involved because you assumed Team Turner, The Administration, is going to walk all over me and my guys tonight. Well, you played the wrong hand, Superman. You made the wrong the bet. Because tonight, we're going to win and Wednesday night, you're going to be out of a job. Not because you attacked me last Wednesday, but because you attacked two members of the Board of Directors and this time, I'm going to make sure you're not just suspended like you were last time. No, this time I'm going to make sure you're ass is fired. I will take that title, I will have a tournament, and I will see that you never work in this company again."

Hansen still attempted the pinfall, but with the referee knocked out it was pointless.
