"Tonight's topic is Operation Iraqi Freedom"

[Chris Nowinski (with the plastic face mask he uses to protect his broken nose raised up on his head) has challenged Scott Steiner to a debate on US military activities in Iraq. There are two podiums set up in the ring and Jerry 'The King' Lawler is there to moderate.]

Jerry Lawler: "Well, ladies and gentlemen, we are ready for the great debate. You've heard of great debates in the past - there was the Lincoln / Douglas debate, there was the Kennedy / Nixon debate, but tonight we have the Steiner / Nowinski debate. Now let me explain something here, tonight's topic is Operation Iraqi Freedom. And in this date-- in this debate, Scott Steiner will argue in favour of the operation, and Chris Nowinski will argue against it. Let me explain, gentlemen, the rules: Each participant will be given their opportunity to make their case and if either of the one of you interrupts, they will be disqualified. Understand? Christopher Nowinski, you're up first."

Chris Nowinski: "Thank you. Well first I'd like to thank my esteemed colleague for being willing to take part in this gentlemanly debate. But I brought my mask just in case. [Nowinski points to the mask resting on the top of his head] Now I would like to reiterate and expound the statements that I made last week, with the contention that America is using it's vast military superiority in order to bully smaller nations. And I ask you; where does it end? Do we invade and overthrow every government that doesn't seem to share the worldview of our country's administration? Now, do we go and invade Syria now? Or North Korea? Or do we only invade countries that have oil? Let's face it: This war is unnecessary and ludicrous. [the crowd boos] Hey, while you may not like what I have to say, as an American, not only am I guaranteed that right to speak my mind by the constitution, but it is my patriotic duty to do so."

Jerry Lawler: "That's a pretty powerful point of view. Scott Steiner, your rebuttal?"

Scott Steiner: "See through all my career, I've wrestled a lot of countries, but without a shadow of doubt, the United States of America is the greatest country of them all! [loud cheers] See we have fought to make this the land of the free, and the home of the brave, and one of those freedoms is freedom of speech; the right to state your opinion. But as the saying goes 'Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one.' Even a master debater like yourself. See we as a country, we didn't start this thing. Terrorists started this, terrorism started this, when they hijacked planes, flew them into buildings on 9/11. Terrorism started this, and Iraq has been known to harbour, finance, support and even train terrorism. They started it. Terrorism started. Not us. Terrorisms drew first blood on 9/11 and you can bet your sweet ass we're gonna get even and we're gonna finish it. [the crowd cheers] But the bottom line is, there are thousands of Americans - men and women - who are fighting for our freedom, making the ultimate sacrifice, they're the real heroes, and I support 'em. So you, The Dixie Chicks, all those Hollywood numbnuts... that don't support our troops, can go straight to hell..! Or France, same difference. Just don't let the- the door hit you on the ass on the way out, because we ain't gonna miss ya!"

Chris Nowinski: "Well... I've tried to tell ya - to give you a fair warning- that your views are wrong. But apparently the only kind of view you understand, the only warning you understand, is one that takes about... Three Minutes..." [Steiner throws his podium down and attacks Nowinski as the team of Three Minute Warning rush the ring, accompanied by Rico. Steiner initially gets the best of the four men but eventually their numerical superiority overwhelms him]
