Der Kampf der Super-Stables: Horsemen vs. nWo

Syxx:?"Cut the music! Cut the music... You know, I don't say too much... but I heard banana-nose Flair out here last week with?[Roddy]?Piper, and he said a few things that kinda made me think...?[see Note 1]He was talking about this new generation of guys not having any respect... Well, Ric Flair, I know a little bit about the history of this sport, and I wanna ask you something right now: What kinda respect is it, ripping one of the legends of this sport off? 'The Nature Boy' Buddy Rogers - you rip his name off, you rip his look off, and you rip the Figure Four off from him: You're a biter, Ric Flair. And I got no respect for you, and very little for you either Piper. And if you got any sack whatsoever, you'll do something about it, cos I don't sweat either one of ya!"

Kevin Nash:?[to the crowd]?"Alright, if you guys hold it down, we can get this done real quick...?[to camera]?Last week, Roddy Piper came out here and said that he had 'laid asphalt and cut down trees.' He called the NWO a bunch of morons, and stupid, what have ya. Well Piper, let me tell ya something; coming from a guy, that if he had one less synapse firing in his brain he'd be in a coma, I don't think too much about that. When I came into this business, seven years ago, I looked down the road that you guys paved for us, I saw nothing but potholes. You guys came into the business, you strip-mined it, you took what you could get out of it and you left the young guys behind you nothing.

WCW was nothing but a bunch of guys pushing their sons; if you didn't have a Dad in the business, you couldn't even get an opportunity. Scott Hall was here, I was here - Scott Hall was ready to become a superstar. Hey, I was a little green - but Scott Hall was ready to become a superstar, and you know what you did? He worked here a year, he proved himself, you cut his salary. So he went elsewhere. We went to New York! That's right. We went to New York. And what did we find when we got there? That's right; stayed all night, danced a little longer, party time! When we got there, there wasn't no party, just punishment for the guys trying to dig the business out of the funk you guys left it in!

Where I come from - which ain't too far from here; south side of Detroit?[the crowd cheers]?- you don't give respect, you don't get respect, you better beat respect out of me, boys! It's OUR turn to shine! It's the new generation's turns to shine! There's some young, young lions up here, and it's time for us to get more than a nibble on the carcass, boys! So while you guys decide to do the 'limo flyin', the 'limo drivin', the Lear Jets, the champagne, the ugly broads, me and my crew have decided we got no problem flying commercial, we got no problem piling three in a rented Taurus. Cos what we're gonna do baby, is kick back, drink a little of my forty ounce, and try the best we can to patch the potholes that you guys have left behind!?[Buff and Syxx 'too sweet' each other. A fan throws some trash in the ring]?NWO for life!"
