They showed an interview with Sylvester Stallone about Rambo, which is sponsoring the PPV tonight and is coming out on DVD soon. Stallone told a story about how the original director for the film didn't have the same vision for the film that he did, so the original director was let go, and Stallone ended up directing it. Stallone said he wasn't prepared to do that, so he directed it with the idea that Rambo was directing it.
