Backstage at an FTR house show, Funaki is seen with a microphone in hand.
Funaki: "I...FUNAKI...am NUMBER ONE ANNOUNCER! Today..Funaki...get..interview with..STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN! My..friend! INDEED!"
On cue, Steve Austin walks up to Funaki.
Austin: "How the hell you doin' Funayki?"
Funaki: "I....am...GOOD! INDEED! But...Stone...Cold...you...were CHALLENGED..by SHANE DOUGLAS! He is VERY BAD wrestler...you..beat..him...FAST! Now..he..wants.."
Austin: "Take a breather there, son, and let ole Stone Cold take over for ya.
Douglas, at Rampage I went down to that ring...I opened up a can of whup ass...and by God, you couldn't do a damned thing except stand there with your jaw open while Stone Cold got the record for fastest win in FTR history. And do you know why that is?
What?
It's because you're a piece of CRAP! LOOKATCHA!!! YERPATHETIC! People like you are what's wrong with wrestling today. You think that you can wrestle in some run down little bingo hall and make a name for yerself? EH-EH! That ain't gonna happen. I don't give a damn how many people wanna get up and yell...
'ECW! ECW! ECW!'
As far as I am concerned, you can empty out the old ECW locker room, line them up..and let Stone Cold Steve Austin send every single one of their asses back to their run down little apartments in New York. And that's just the way it would be.
So now, now you wanna bring out one of yer buddies to fight me at Genesis? Who do you think you're dealing with here, Douglas?
My name is Stone Cold Steve Austin. I have made more money than anyone in wrestling history. I have headlined more pay-per-views than anyone in wrestling history. I have sold more merchandise than anyone in wrestling history. I am NOT the first in line for you or any one of your friends. I do NOT deserve to be treated this way. If you want the damned truth, I should be at the top of the damned card fighting for the World Title against that little bastard, Eddy Guerrero.
But I'm gonna make a little example out of you and your little friend. I'm sick and tired of people talking about guys like Stone Cold holding the talent down. If the talent was so damn good, it would step up and open up a can of whup ass on Stone Cold for a change. But instead this talent just goes to some little website, does a 'shoot interview' with a fifteen year old slack jawed, four eyed little bastard..and bitches to a crowd of fifteen people about how good they are before they run around and maim themselves for no good reason in some half assed 'hardcore' match.
If there's one thing I am, Shane, it's an equal opportunity ass kicker. So at Genesis, you bring your friend..and I'll whup his ass just like I whupped yours.....and that's the bottom line........."
