(Kurt Angle makes his way out to the ring, to the disgust of the fans, holding
Mankind's mask, which he stole at the Royal Rumble.)

Kurt Angle:
You know, I may not have won the Royal Rumble last night, but I got the next
best thing.  A trophy to prove that I was in there.  Now while this mask is
not as pretty as, say, my gold medals.  I value my possession of it, for the
simple reason that it means so much to its owner.

Mankind, while I have your mask, you will not be able to show your grotesque
face on WWE television.  That means ratings will go up, and more television
time can be spent on your Olympic Hero.  It's true, it's true!

So, from now on, I request that at least twenty minutes of every show be 
designated as "Angle Time", where I can come out, maybe have a match, or
perhaps answer some of the questions that my adoring fans have for me.  In
fact, why don't we kick off with some questions right now?  How about that 
tubby kid down in the front row, do you have a question for me?  Or how about
this guy...oh my gosh, I'm sorry, girl down here, do you wanna ask me about
how I won the Olympics with a broken freakin' neck?

(Suddenly, a maskless Mankind appears on the titantron.)

Mankind:
I have a question Kurt?  I have a question.  How does it feel Kurt?  How does
it feel to tear the very life from another mans face?  How did it feel for
you when you ripped that mask off my face Kurt?

You know how it felt for me Kurt?  It felt painful, real painful.  But you
know what Kurt?  I loved every second of it!  Now sure, some may find my
features to be a little grotesque, but I don't think I look all that bad.  In
fact, there are a few people out there who think I look a little bit like
that guy who used to be Dude Love.  I think his name was Terry Funk or 
something like that.

But Kurt, just because I enjoyed the pain of you ripping that mask from my
face, it doesn't mean that I am going to let you get away with it.  You see,
I want my mask back, and I don't care what I have to take from you in order
to get it back.  It could your medals Kurt, it could be your car, it could
be your jacket, or maybe, just maybe Kurt, it could be your career.

When you least expect it Kurt, I am going to get my mask back, no matter what
it takes.  So until I do just that, I hope Kurt, I really do hope that you 
can...have a nice day!

(Mankind's music hits, as a worried Kurt Angle retreats to the back.)
