"Now kiss my ass, this show sucks!"

John Bradshaw Layfield: "[Die Fans rufen "FUCK YOU SMACKDOWN! FUCK YOU SMACKDOWN!"]

Watch what you say about SmackDown. Don't you bring your dog and pony show. Don't you bring your backyard quality wrestling show into JBL's town of New York, and embarrass this business. Hey, wait a minute. ECW. I recognise that ring...

[Die Fans rufen "YOU SUCK DICK! YOU SUCK DICK!"]

I see no women here and you're chanting about a male organ. Now tell me who's the fruit-booty?

I sat in that ring right there last year. One year ago everybody's going hardcore, hardcore. While a certain fat, blue piece of crap sat there and bled and cried. Then what happened? You guys get on your internet and say JBL is a bully. JBL is a bad guy. You know what happened to me? Do you know what happened to me when I knocked one of your boys out? Knocked his fat ass out? You know what happened to me? Nothing. You know why? Because there's not an ECW guy nor a man alive that can do anything to me. Sounds to me like I am the King of hardcore. And Big Show. Kurt Angle. They are our stars. Rob Van Dam made his name in the WWE. He is a star. But he is a star because of people like me. He is a star because of SmackDown. He is a star because of Vince McMahon.

And Tazz. You're leaving Network television to go to Tuesday nights on the Sci-Fi Channel? You're a household name, Tazz. Because of us. But how appropriate it is, you bunch of Star Trek little geeks love the Sci-Fi Channel. And now you get your ECW. Ha ha ha ha ha. It's very appropriate.

[Die Fans rufen "SHUT THE FUCK UP! SHUT THE FUCK UP!"]

Remember this: You paid to see me. I didn't pay to see anyone of you.

Tazz, I want to thank you. Because if you hadn't left they would have had to fire you. Because I'm announcing right now: JBL's coming back! I am the voice of SmackDown. What you see on FOX News, what you see on TheStreet.com, what you see on my nationally syndicated radio show. I am the voice of the A-show, and by the way folks - you're in the minor leagues here. I am the voice of SmackDown. And you can take your telephone book with you because I can see over the desk. So go ahead and watch your little show. Go ahead and drink Paul Heyman's Kool-Aid. But know this: The greatest wrestler, the King of Hardcore, the person who says that he is: come hell, come high water, come the creek don't rise. I am, who I say I am, and I am a wrestling GOD. Now kiss my ass, this show sucks!"
