Out next are Kahoneys (Balls Mahoney) and Axl Rotten. They mention they aren't booked tonight and are issuing an open challenge to anyone in the back. Out walk The Dudley's (Team 3D) with Joel Gertner. Gertner takes the mic. "It is I, the bacon in her eggs, the man for whom she begs and the face between her legs. The lyrical miracle, the sexual intellectual and the quintessential stud muffin, JOEL, Lady Gaga advocates celebacy, what an absolutle disgrace, if she won't let me stuff her muff, then I'll just poke her face...GERTNER." Gertner also introduces The Dud...he stops himself and introduces them as Team 3D. Brother Ray takes the mic and calls in Kahoneys and Rotten. He said you are looking at four of the most hardcore men who have ever stepped foot in a wrestling ring. Ray said the last thing these people want to see is a "wrestling match" so we will give them what they paid to see (paid in Orlando?) and wants a South Philadelphia Street Fight.
