Wrestling Championship Controversy
Uh, here comes the former cruiserweight
champion,
beaten last night at No Mercy.
Well, if history's any indicator, the last time Neville lost the
cruiserweight championship, it was like something we'd never seen
before.
Hey. Well, look who decided to show up to the party.
Fashionably late.
Fashionably, f- f- fashionably, but you look terrible right now.
Where is your crown? Oh yeah, that's right, it's on the shoulder of
a real man.
Well, I think they heard me, but you're gonna pretend like you didn't
hear me?
You're gonna pretend like you didn't hear me, sitting there not saying nothing?
Bro, with those satellite disks on the side of
your head
that you call ears, I know you're hearing every word
I'm saying.
'Cause I can see the pain in your eyes, kid.
And you know why I can see that pain?
'Cause the truth hurts.
Oh. Oh, it does.
Oh, that truth hurts, my friend.
You know what, Enzo? You're
right.
The truth
is brutal.
And the truth is that you are such
an unbearable, toxic little
individual that you have alienated
absolutely everybody that you come in contact
with.
And nobody making contact with me tonight.
Enzo,
you arrived on Monday Night RAW to much,
much fanfare, and then just two short years
later, you are dumped on our doorstep like an
unwanted little slug because nobody
else will have you.
I got some love. There's some love in here.
Hey, hey, hey, hey. If it were left to me, Enzo,
I would've left you out in the cold to rot.
But it was these gentlemen behind me,
these so-called
nobodies that insisted you had an
opportunity.
Enzo, is this
how you repay them?
No, you know how I repay them, Neville?
By getting eyes on 205 Live and making them all stars.
No, no, no, no. No. Enzo,
no.
You
are nothing but a disgrace, and you have
done nothing but make a joke out of
them,
make a joke out of this division, make a
joke out of my Cruiserweight Championship.
And Enzo, when you kicked me where the sun
doesn't shine
, you made a joke out of me.
So now,
on behalf of the entire
cruiserweight division,
Enzo Amore,
I am here
to end you.
Hey, hey. Hey, hey.
Hey, wait a minute.
Slow your roll. Slow your roll. Back up. Back up. You know if you...
I got this clause. Hey, I got this clause.
Kurt Angle signed it, and you know it. You know it for a fact, and so do they.
You can't touch me. If you lay a hand on me,
you'll never lay hands
on this title. You're precious, right, Gollum?
Ain't that right? The baby that Frodo and Gollum had.
Dude, you know you can't. You can't. And you know what?
Hey, wait, wait, wait a second. Wait a second. Wait a second.
Slow your roll. You know what you have done, dude?
Look around you.
Look at what time it is. Oh, you ain't got your watch on?
Hey, this is the last hour of RAW, the main event,
all right? And in nine months that you held this title,
you never even sniffed this hour.
All right? And that's the truth, and you know it.
The reason you're out here right now is 'cause I'm a star.
That's a fact. And you know what? The reason any of you guys are out here is
because I'm a star. If you took all the money you guys make on
merchandise, and you as well, you couldn't...
This whole arena, you couldn't even touch one of my
merchandise checks,
dog.
I'm money, baby, and you can't touch me, and you know it.
So do me a favor. I'll see you tomorrow, and all you on the
Zo Show. Get the hell out of my ring.
You see the paper, buddy.
You want this title? 'Cause you're never gonna get it
if you lay a hand on me, and
you know it, so go home.
That's the right call,
ref. That's
the right call. That's the right call.
Go on, Zo. Go on, Zo.
Yeah, that's it.
Oh, Neville
has heard enough.
And Neville attacking Enzo. Oh, and so much for the retired
jersey.
But did Neville just throw his championship away?
I think so.
He just couldn't help himself, Corey. He'd heard enough.
Get-
Just incensed and angered by Enzo
... you,
Neville.
Oh my God.
Neville has snapped.
Whether you like Neville's tactics or not-
One, two
... he was champion for a long, long time.
Well, I can just tell you right now, I'm living vicariously through the king of
the
cruiserweights.
Enzo's mouth got him in trouble once again, and now
Amore will incur the wrath of the king.
Well, Neville didn't appreciate the way he lost
the championship last night.
The blatant kick right to the, uh,
th- the groin area.
Oh, but wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Where you going? Get back here. Where you going?
Enzo has nowhere to go, and he has no friends.
Oh.
And Neville
sending Enzo right into the ring.
These guys go... Yeah, it's about the division.
It's not about the title right now, Cole. It's about the division.
Four,
five, six, seven.
Well, that's what Neville thinks of the
no-contact clause.
You
are done.
Yeah, Neville just threw his championship away.
Oh my God. Well, the rest of 205 Live are extremely happy at what has
transpired here tonight.
I think what Neville's doing is admirable.
The fact is, it's not good for his career.
The opportunity be- to become cruiserweight champion once
again
is gone.
All of those men on that stage, Corey, like I said, it's about the division and
what they have made that division to be about.
Neville, top rope.
Ring.
Mm, beautiful.
What impact.
Exclamation point.
The fact of the matter is this: as cruiserweight champion,
whether you like what he
did or you didn't, Neville brought some respect to the
championship.
He believes Enzo has not done that.
I agree wholeheartedly with everything you just said, Cole,
and everything Neville believes.
Enzo may be the champion, but Neville is still the king
