Bladewolf rolls his shoulders. "My thoughts? My thoughts are simple; Big Show and Chris Benoit are going to get what's coming to them, and that's getting their asses kicked so badly that their mothers will wish they kept their legs closed." The crowd reacted at that with laughs. "I am pissed off, Kevin. Chris Benoit and I... we've had our battles, he beat me for the Intercontinental Championship and believe me... when I take care of other affairs, I am coming for that title and I don't give a shit who is holding it."
The crowd reacted at the curse word as Kevin's eyes widened.
Bladewolf exhales. "Big Show... Big Show attacked my brother, the Undertaker, like a damn coward. He needed several other men to take him out. What does that say about him? That he is nothing but a useless piece of trash that needs reminding of his place around here, and that's in the trash with Shane, Chris Benoit, and anyone who thinks they can take on the Brothers of Destruction and not get a taste of what hell is like. When Kane and I are done tonight, Big Show, Chris Benoit and Shane McMahon aren't going to be much of an issue for us."
