[Midwestern champion Doc Dean comes down to the ring on a pair of crutches. With him is Brian Adias. Dean gets the mic and speaks.]
DD: Everybody, I know you were all so excited about getting to see me defend my title tonight against Mark Schrader, but I'm afraid that just isn't going to happen tonight. You see, I hurt my leg extremely bad this morning squating. Yeah, I'd say I had about 600, 700 pounds up and my leg just gave way; that'll happen after you do about 10 reps. So, once again, I apologize, but I can't wrestle tonight. But don't fret, I do have a replacement, Brian Adias. I'm sure he will more than give you some competition, Sharky!
[Dean leaves the ring as Adias awaits Mark Schrader.]
