Trick Williams makes his way to the ring

Sami wants them to stop Trick’s music and he says enough of that crap. Do you want to come out and interrupt him? Go ahead and say it.

Trick tells Gingavitis that this is personal. He understands why. He sees the people turning on you. You see Wrestlemania. You see what happened to you at Backlash. You see a real superstar. He says he doesn’t care about Sami or his fans. Because you disrespected him two weeks ago, he is going to kick Sami’s ass.

Sami asks does Trick think he disrespected him because he gave him a wake up call? He was trying to make Trick understand something. You had the WWE Champion standing one foot away and said he would not handle disrespect. You tried to turn it all into a joke. That is all you know because that is all you are. You don’t get it. You don’t have it. You can’t differentiae and take inventory of the moment. You do not have the survival skills. You need to learn to survive if you want to live in his jungle. Sami says he thrives in the chaos of the moment. He tastes the electricity on his tongue and that is why he is where he is today.

Trick asks if he looks like he is joking. Who looks like a joke? He says he usually comes out and says Let’s talk about it, but tonight he is done with talk. Take a swing and see what happens to you.

Johnny takes the mic and he tells Trick you are disrespecting the champion and you are disrespecting them. Do you know what it takes for them to be here? You had it all given to you. You have the swag, the entrance, and this, but you don’t have that (pointing to the title). IF you don’t show respect, he will show Trick. They don’t call him Johnny Entrance, they call him Johnny Wrestling.

Trick says he doesn’t care. He is not here to make excuses. He says let’s skip the talking and he beats his ass tonight.

Johnny looks at Sami and he tells Trick he is on.

Trick calls for a referee.
