Tom Lawlor shows up and he mentions Battle in the Valley on February 18th. Kevin asks if it is the filthiest month of the year and Tom says it is the shortest. Tom says he has been dealing with a street thug named Homicide. He might have been all over the world, but Tom says he does not respect what Homicide is doing and he has to be removed.
Kevin says that Homicide is one of the toughest to enter the squared circle.
Tom talks about his tape study and he says he has looked at his interactions with that scumbag, he does not play by the rules of professional wrestling. Maybe it was his fault to think that Homicide would get into a wrestling match with him. Maybe it was his fault that he thought Homicide had the balls to face him by the rules.
Tom says if you want to cheap shot me or stab me, on February 18th, we can have a Filthy Rules Fight. No ropes, no rules. I’ll see you in San Jose.
