(Randy Orton comes to the ring, to a chorus of boos from the fans. )

Randy Orton:
The Legend Killer is here once again, and I'm here with bad news, people.  You
see, the Legend Killer challenge for Taboo Tuesday is going to have to be
cancelled.  

Not one true legend in this business had the guts to step up to the challenge,
and as a result, there's just no point in bothering.  That is, unless you the
fans want to make a choice from Repo Man, Typhoon, or Virgil.  That's not a
choice.  Hell, that's the worst selection of people you've had to choose from
since Bush and Kerry.

So, I guess what I'll have to do tomorrow night, is get myself a seat in the
backstage area, watch everyone kick the...

(Orton is cut off by the music of Terry Funk, who comes out onto the ramp. )

Terry Funk:
Randy, just like your father, you're nothing more than a coward and a punk.  I
know full well that there are four legends who want their chance to take you
on at Taboo Tuesday, and they're all on the ballot.

The first legend is a man you know full well, a man who wants to get his 
revenge on you, and that man is The Rock!

But Rock isn't the only Hollywood icon that wants his chance to step into the
ring with a so called Legend Killer, as also on the ballot is the Immortal
Hulk Hogan!

Randy Orton:
No, no, no.  Hogan's gone, he's long gone.  Shane McMahon put him out, and said
he could never come back.

Terry Funk:
Well Shane McMahon is going to have to make an exception, because if Hogan is
voted in, that's who you're fighting.

But speaking of Hogan, he was the first ever 5-time WWE Champion, and the next
man on the ballot is the second WWE Superstar to reach that accolade.  So at
Taboo Tuesday, you could well be fighting, for the very first time, Bret "The
Hitman" Hart!

(The crowd erupts at the possibility of Bret returning. )

Randy Orton:
So that's it?  Rock, Hogan or Hart?  Big deal?  Bring them all in, and I'll
fight every single one of them.

Terry Funk:
I admire your confidence kid, but that's not all.  There's one more man, a man
who vowed he would never come back to the ring, but he's ready to break that
vow if he gets voted in.

Randy Orton:
Let me guess, the Ultimate Warrior.  Whatever.  He's nothing but a face painted
freak, with no grasp on reality.

Terry Funk:
It ain't the Warrior, kid.  It's Vince McMahon!

(Randy looks horrified at the prospect of facing the boss. )

Terry Funk:
And if Vince McMahon comes back tomorrow night, I don't think that there will
be any legend killing going on Randy.  Oh, and by the way, good luck in your 
match tonight!

(The music of Val Venis hits, and he comes down to ringside to face Orton. )
