Title:
"When you slapped Andy Kaufman... Ted and I weren't even alive yet"
Date:
21.07.2008
Jim Duggan: "Excuse me, folks! Excuse me! I don't wanna take up much time 'cause I know there's another match ready to come down. But I just wanted to come out here and say that I'm, uhm, thinking about... hanging up... hanging up my boots. ["Noooo!"] It's been a great 30-year-run. Thirty years. I won the first Royal Rumble, I made tons of friends. And with the grace of god I survived kidney cancer. [Jubel] But I thought about what DiBiase and Rhodes said last week. And I gotta admit, they may be right. This is a game for young men. And maybe it's time for Hacksaw Jim Duggan to just pass by. [Buhrufe] So I just wanted to come out and say: Thanks! Thanks for all your support!"

Jerry Lawler: "Heyheyheyheyheyheyhey! Jim! Jim! Jim, hold on just a minute! Hold on just a minute, man!

[Jerry Lawler steht vom Kommentatorenpult auf und steigt in den Ring. Das Publikum begrüßt ihn mit "Jerry"-Sprechchören.]

Now listen, I know this is none of my business, but in case you didn't know it: There's no age limit in the WWE! Now, I don't care what DiBiase and Cody Rhodes said last week. As long as you're passionate about getting in this ring and doing what you love to do, you can do it as long as you wanna do it! [Duggan lächelt dankbar.] And let me tell you something else. Do you realize, Jim, that you have something? You can do something that Barack Obama and John McCain would kill for. Just your mere presence makes millions of people stand on their feet and chant: USA, USA! [Publikum: "USA! USA!"] Now Jim, I wanna ask you: Do you really wanna give that up?"

[Das Publikum ruft laut "No!".]

Jim Duggan: "Honestly... NO, no I don't! I guess I just need somebody to tell me that. Thanks, King, thanks buddy-"

[Die Musik von Ted DiBiase und Cody Rhodes unterbricht Duggan mitten im Satz. Die Tag Team Champions kommen zum Ring.]

Ted DiBiase: "Let me get this straight: Jerry Lawler is giving career advice to Jim Duggan... Jerry, just because you like to date girls younger than us doesn't mean you relate to us in any way. You both need to hang it up... badly!"

Cody Rhodes: "You know, let me put this into perspective. Jim, when you won the first Royal Rumble back in 1988, I was two-and-a-half years old. And Jerry, when you went on David Letterman and slapped Andy Kaufman... you know what? Ted and I weren't even alive, yet."

Jerry Lawler: "So, you didn't see when I went on David Letterman, [and] slapped Andy Kaufman?"

Cody Rhodes: "No."

Jerry Lawler: "Well, let me tell you something. It went something like this!"

[Lawler erteilt dem vorlauten Rhodes eine schallende Ohrfeige. Rhodes rastet aus und muss von DiBiase zurückgehalten werden. Das Publikum feiert Jerry Lawler.]

Ted DiBiase: "Duggan, Lawler, ... we will continue this another day. But I suggest the two old men leave the ring and let the people who actually have a future take care of the rest!"

[Die Musik von JBL ertönt, um das folgende Match einzuläuten.]
