So, Renee says that without any further adue, please welcome RVD.
RVD comes out to a huge pop. He gets in the ring but never takes his eyes off of Dupree. Renee says that it is obvious that these fans here in Orlando love him. Fans pop and Rob shakes his head yes. Dupree says that only American's would cheer someone like RVD. A man who has no class like Renee does. A man that is nothing but a stoner. What kind of an example is Rob setting to all the little children? Dupree is an upstanding citizen, a man of integrity, a man of...
Rob cuts him off and tells Renee to chill. Rob says that these fans love him because he always gives them everything he has night in and night out. Rob says he doesn't come out here and bitch and moan like some French person would. Instead, he comes out here and lays himself on the line and these fans love him for that.
Renee says that that is typical American ignorance. He says that these people cheer for Rob because they don't know any better. He says that they only like Rob because he can do some fancy moves. Yet, Renee says that he has done more in the WWE in one years time, than Rob has done in his three to four years here. The fans boo and Rob is starting to get pissed.
Rob says that he was nice enough to come out here but he damn sure isn't going to let Renee talk bad about the fans.....and about (Crowd in unison as Rob points his thumbs over his shoulders) Rob.......Van......Dam......

He doesn't know who this Sexay is because this Sexay cares for nobody else but himself. Kish can't believe he would turn on him and Scotty. Kish walks off dejected.
We come back to Teddy's office as Teddy and Booker are laughing. Teddy starts to make fun of himself when he told Rey and Cena that he would order a full investigation. Booker laughs and says that finally Smackdown has leadership with Teddy Long in control. Teddy agrees and says that he will take great pleasure in knowing that Booker will be the next WWE Champion. Booker says it is a done deal. Booker then asks Teddy about what Bischoff did. Teddy says that he hasn't forgotten about that, and that he will reveal a new superstar to the Smackdown roster. One that is more important than some Diva. Booker says that Eric never was too bright. He says that Eric only made a name for himself because he had Ted Turner's money. Eric wouldn't know talent if it jumped up and bit him on the ass. Teddy agrees, and says that Eric actually did him a favor by taking Torrie and her salary, because the girl was not worth it. Booker and Teddy laugh. Cole and Tazz wonder just who has Teddy signed.

Dupree says that only American's would cheer someone like RVD. A man who has no class like Renee does. A man that is nothing but a stoner. What kind of an example is Rob setting to all the little children? Dupree is an upstanding citizen, a man of integrity, a man of...
Rob cuts him off and tells Renee to chill. Rob says that these fans love him because he always gives them everything he has night in and night out. Rob says he doesn't come out here and bitch and moan like some French person would. Instead, he comes out here and lays himself on the line and these fans love him for that.

Yet, Renee says that he has done more in the WWE in one years time, than Rob has done in his three to four years here. The fans boo and Rob is starting to get pissed.

Booker laughs and says that finally Smackdown has leadership with Teddy Long in control. Teddy agrees and says that he will take great pleasure in knowing that Booker will be the next WWE Champion. Booker says it is a done deal. Booker then asks Teddy about what Bischoff did. Teddy says that he hasn't forgotten about that, and that he will reveal a new superstar to the Smackdown roster. One that is more important than some Diva. Booker says that Eric never was too bright. He says that Eric only made a name for himself because he had Ted Turner's money. Eric wouldn't know talent if it jumped up and bit him on the ass. Teddy agrees, and says that Eric actually did him a favor by taking Torrie and her salary, because the girl was not worth it. Booker and Teddy laugh. Cole and Tazz wonder just who has Teddy signed.
