"I wanna give a shout-out to Riho"

Gail Kim: "Hello, everyone, can you believe it? Gail Kim in a GCW ring for the very first time! [mixed reception] You're supposed to say you're welcome. [crowd boos] You're so welcome, actually, I do-- [crowd keeps booing] Shut. Up. [to a fan] Oh, thank you. You're so disrespectful, a legend came here to bless you with her presence, you're so rude.

Anyways, I came here anyways to clear things up and let you know, like you, I did not come here for all of you, okay? [crowd boos] I actually came for the wrestlers, y'know me, I'm helping out the wrestlers. But the wrestlers like Joey Janela, who think jumping off buildings, bleeding buckets, smashing light tubes over their heads, is actually entertaining. [crowd cheers and chants 'GCW'; she waves her hand dismissively] Simmer down, simmer down, simmer down. Okay, so, you guys think it's worth it? You guys think it's worth it to bleed buckets, jump off of buildings for a cheap pop? [crowd cheers] Or a 'holy shit' chant? The fact that-- the fact that boy, Joey Janela is GCW hero, [points at crowd] and looking at all of you right now, it actually tells me everything I need to know about you and not him. [crowd boos and chants 'Joey'; she points to into the balcony of the mal]"

These people up here are so disrespectful, shut up, sit down. Sit. Down. [crowd boos] Not gonna talk until you give me some silence. [crowd chants 'Cut Her Mic'] Anyways, I've come to the conclusion, that it's actually [points to everyone in the crowd] ALL. YOUR. FAULT! [crowd boos] Because you cheer for this crap, you encourage the wrestlers, you think that is actually entertaining. [crowd chants 'we want glass'] That actually tells me the standard of professional wrestling that you actually think is really good, and it actually shows me just how dumb you truly are. [crowd boos] As for me, as for me-- [crowd chants 'you are dumb'] I know that you're dumb, yes, I'm glad you're chanting it. Thanks for proving my point. As for me, guys, I build my legacy on wrestling, talent, and psychology. [the crowd chants 'Change The Channel']

Okay, you know what?! I'm gonna say my final, final thing and the real reason why I came here are for those people who are here tonight, [points] and for the people who are going to that crappy show down the road later on, I know you are the ones trolling me on X, okay? [crowd boos] And you're all cowards, so come say it to my face, right now! [crowd boos] Come on!"

[Joey Janela makes his entrance as the crowd chants 'Joey']

Joey Janela: "Cut my music! [crowd cheers]"

Gail Kim: "And his mic, too. [crowd chants 'fuck her up, Joey, fuck her up']"

Janela: "I speak as a great resident of this wonderful state, New Jersey. [crowd cheers] I speak for the longest tenured member of the GCW roster, [crowd cheers] AND I SPEAK for everyone here at the American Dream Mall. SHUT THE HELL UP! SHUT UP! [crowd chants 'shut the fuck up'] I wanna give a shout out to Riho! [see Note 1; crowd cheers] She probably won't see this because she doesn't have social media, because idiots like this [points to Gail] rile up bullies and losers on the internet to pick on a girl who's worked her ass off since she was 12. YEARS. OLD! [crowd cheers]"

Kim: "Oh, typical!"

Janela: "SHUT UP! [crowd cheers] Ladies and gentlemen, Gail Kim! [crowd boos] In 2025, she is a crash out Olympian. She would have the gold medal if Sarah Stock didn't love drinking red wine so much! [see Note 2]"

Kim: "Of course, the typical misogynistic wrestler who thinks you can just insult women, you think it's going to give you a pop."

Janela: "SHUT UP! Speaking of women, good thing Megan Bayne is at the AEW pay-per-view right now. [see Note 3] Because, if she was here, you'd be six feet in the ground. [crowd goes 'Ooh']"

Kim: "Says the guy who told everyone I have CTE and the-- [note 4]"

Janela: "You DO have CTE!"

Kim: "I do, right?"

Janela: "You have CTE."

Kim: "Says the guy-- says the guy who does an interview with that IDIOT Sean Ross Sapp and says 'oh, I have CTE.' Maybe you forgot that you already admitted it."

Janela: "Well, listen. Little less than a year ago, a bunch of the girls, a bunch of the guys, a bunch of the fans were so sad, they were so hurt that TNA god rid of you, but now I realize the reason why, it's 'cuz you're nothin' but a fucking bitch! [crowd goes 'Ooh']"

[Gail Kim slaps Joey Janela, takes his jacket off, KJ Orso ambushes Joey from behind]
