CRAIG DEGEORGE INTERVIEWS TED DIBIASE (W/VIRGIL)

“I frankly thought we had put to rest this issue of buying the heavyweight championship,” says interviewer Craig DeGeorge, “but I assume by your presence here that, well, we haven’t.”

“Well, well, well,” DiBiase crows, hands on his shiny purple lapels. “I told you people some time ago that Hulk Hogan was a fool, that he would live to regret not accepting the most generous offer of the Million Dollar Man. And I also told you people that I was a man not accustomed to not getting what I want. Well, I’ll tell you right now, I get what I want. I buy what I want! And I want the World Wrestling Federation heavyweight title. And I told you people that I would buy it! And coming down the aisle right now, accompanied by his manager Bobby ‘The Brain’ Heenan, is the man that will deliver it to me, the World Wrestling Federation heavyweight title, the Eighth Wonder of the World, André the Giant.”

André and Heenan, resplendent in bright red satin jacket and black neck brace, come to the stage. André’s hand is on the Brain’s shoulder as the two men shake hands with Virgil and the Million Dollar Man.

“What is the meaning of this?” sputters DeGeorge.

“Mr. DiBiase,” Heenan says, “thank you. Thank you. Never in my life did I ever think I would have the wealth and be able to buy the things I can, and the way I can live now, financially for the rest of my life. You see, Hogan, you are a fool! I’m not a fool. I don’t let opportunity pass me by. Mr. DiBiase, thank you again. Because all you’re buying is what we planned to do anyway, guaranteed the World Heavyweight Championship, because we’re gonna beat Hogan like we’ve done before. Thank you.”

“André, will you deliver to me, the Million Dollar Man, the World Wrestling Federation heavyweight title?”

“Mr. DiBiase,” rumbles the Giant, a malevolent grin spread wide across his face, “I will tell you one thing. I will deliver that belt, the World World Wrestling Federation [sic], and I will enjoy it, Hogan! Ha, ha, ha! Oh yeah!”

“We’ve got it, Virgil!” DiBiase says assuredly. “It’s ours!”
