"Steve Bradley has the potential to outshine The Rock"

[At a house show exactly one week ago, Steve Bradley triumphed over the undefeated Kurt Angle for the Power Pro Heavyweight Title after interference from Jim Cornette, who hit Angle with his trademark tennis racket. Now Cornette and Bradley are in studio for an interview with Dave Brown]

Steve Bradley: "Hey Dave Brown, listen up and listen good. It's just like I've been saying ever since I stepped foot in Power Pro Wrestling; that I was absolutely the best bell-to-bell wrestler that ever stepped foot in this country! NOW I have the belt to prove it. What about your golden boy, Bruce [Prichard, WWF/E VP]? The man that no one could beat! Looks like he went down to 'Sensational' Steve Bradley."

Dave Brown: "Or to the tennis racket of Jim E. Cornette."

Jim Cornette: "Hey! Now- now lemme ask you something Dave; first of all why don't you and Corey [Maclin, co-commentator] get excited out here, huh?! You look like you're ready to be laid out and have words spoken over you--"

Dave Brown: "We're a little more disgusted than excited to see you here."

Jim Cornette: "Well, you're a little more disgusting than excited. I'll tell you this right now, I told ya that I was going to be calling the shots around here, and it only took me one day! Last week I laid Brandon Baxter out, then I signed up the new Power Pro Wrestling Champion, and let me tell ya something about Steve Bradley: I have been with 'The Show Stopper', 'The Scene Stealer' Shawn Michaels. I've faced him. And he [pointing to Bradley] has the potential to outsign-- outshine Shawn Michaels. And I have seen, and I have faced 'The Most Electrifying Man in Wrestling' The Rock, and Steve Bradley has the potential to outshine The Rock, to surpass him. This man is raw talent. And why's he been held down? He's been held down by Randy Hales [PPW owner] because he's from up north, he's not a hillbilly, he doesn't chew Red Man [tobacco] like all these local yokels down here. And Randy Hales like to pick his favourites, guys like Kurt Angle - Captain Boring himself, who'll do anything that Randy Hales tells him to do!

But you see, Steve Bradley and Jim Cornette, we ain't so easy to control, Randy Hales. So I'm thinking-- [the crowd chants 'You suck'] Hey, why don't you shut up?! Once in your life shut up, ya freeloaders! [turning back to camera] So, I think what it's time for now, now the prophecy has come true, and I've fulfilled my part of the bargain, I've signed up the man, I'm calling the shots. We are starting a new day here in Power Pro Wrestling. Randy Hales, Jethro, put down Granny's Biddles boy. Come on out here, stick man, bring the deed! Because I told ya, I'm taking over. You wouldn't give me half, so I'm taking all, so bring it on out, sign it over and we'll be done with it. It'll be no muss, no fuss, a lot easier on everybody. [Hales walks out from backstage] Oh there he comes."

Dave Brown: "Here's Randy right here, but I don't think, I don't think he's just gonna hand that company over to ya."

Jim Cornette: [Cornette tries to get in Brown's face] "You know I'd like to put my hand--"

Dave Brown: [Pulling Cornette back] "Hey, come on now. Come on, come on Jim."

Randy Hales: "I've brought this piece of paper out here. Now, first of all Jim Cornette, the people didn't know, I didn't know, Brandon Baxter didn't know, Kurt Angle, nobody knew that you were going to be around last week. We know now and I would like you to know, Cornette, I want you to know, Bradley, now it's a different situation--

Jim Cornette: "Here's the pen! Sign it!"

Randy Hales: "--listen to me, listen to me--"

Jim Cornette: "--Sign the contract! How's the weather there in Babylon, you idiot! Huh?!"

Randy Hales: "You can't keep your mouth shut! What I'm trying to tell you, Cornette, is you can take that pen, because nobody's gonna use it [Hales grabs Cornette's pen and throws it away] here today. I told you before; you're not getting a single percentage of this company EVER. And I'm here to tell you that, I want everybody to know that last week it was a different situation, because you're outnumbered! Brandon Baxter's here today, I'm here, Kurt Angle's here, Dougan wouls be coming, so now you're the guys that stand alone! And I want to tell YOU Steve Bradley, you do have potential, like motormouth said. You have a lot of potential, but let me tell you what: It was a travesty of justice, an absolute travesty of justice what happened here today. And - [to the crowd] everybody listen up, because I want you to hear this, I think you'll enjoy it - today on this television program, you people will see, [to Bradley] and you will defend the Power Pro Wrestling Title, in your first defence in a RETURN MATCH against Kurt Angle!"

Jim Cornette: "Nononononono! Hey! No! Hey! Wait a minute!"

Dave Brown: "Hey! Yeah! We're getting excited here! Come on now... Wait wait wait..." [Cornette is yelling at Hales, officials, including matchmaker Kevin Christian, come out to get between the two]

Randy Hales: [to Cornette] "I'm laughing now! You were laughing last week!"

Dave Brown: "That's the match!"

Kevin Christian "Hey hold on a second Randy, wh-wha-what are you talking about? That this guy's having a match with Kurt Angle today? You may be, granted, the founder, the owner and the President of Power Pro Wrestling, but that's where it ends. I'm the matchmaker, and I didn't say anything about this match!"

Jim Cornette: "Yeah, that's right! He's the matchmaker and he didn't say anything about the match!"

Randy Hales: [to Brown, pointing at the mic] "Can I hold this for a second? I know you don't like that. [Brown lets Hales take the mic] It's been a long time people, but what you're looking at with me - and y'all listen - I am the OWNER, the FOUNDER, the PRESIDENT of Power Pro Wrestling. [to Christian] I have veto power over YOU, I have control and final say over everything! [to Brown] And Dave Brown, didn't that sound good? There will be, there will be - this is great - a title match today! A title match today!" [Hales walks out with Cornette in hot pursuit]
