[After the Saturday Night Explosion opening, The Extremists's music starts up to a huge chorus of boos. "The Canadian Superstar" Lance Storm leads the way with Dawn Marie in tow. Just behind him is the lightweight superstar "Wonderkid" Jonny Storm, Ace Darling, and Devon Storm. As they get into the ring and the music dies down, the boos get louder.]
LS: Why don't you illiterate imbeciles shut up for a minute, and show some respect, because you are in the presence of greatness!
[The boos just get louder.]
LS: Eh, it figures you wouldn't understand it the first time, so I'll say it again: SHUT THE HELL UP!
[The boos get louder and louder.]
DM: They're not going to get it, Lancey. They're balloons! Hee hee!
LS: I think you mean "buffoons".
DM: That's what I said: balloons.
LS: [Rolls his eyes] Jesus... we've got a lot to get to tonight, so let's get right to it. For starters, Ken Shamrock. Shamrock, this may surprise a lot of people, but I have an awful lot of respect for you. You're a skilled shoot fighter with several UFC titles to your credit, and I'll admit, you're not too shabby in a wrestling ring either, but you made the biggest mistake of your life by laying your hands on the Canadian Superstar! I may not have the time to get even with you right now, but mark my words, your ass is mine!
JS: BRAD ARMSTRONG! You may think you're something special because you're some kind of country inbred hick who knows how to tie his boots so he thinks he can be a wrestler, but you're looking at the Wonderkid. Sure, you may have the size and the strength on me, but I have the speed, and more importantly, I have the smarts! You're going down, bumpkin!
AD: Stevey, Scotty, boy do I feel sorry for you. Not only do you both have to play second fiddle in a wrestling family, but you have to play second fiddle in a poor white trash wrestling family!
DS: You two morons are nothing more than a stepping stone to greater things. It's nothing personal, but we're going to have to eliminate you!
[Just as Devon Storm finishes, GLW President Ryan Niemiller makes his way down to the ring with a mic in hand.]
LS: Why hello, Mr. Niemiller! How are you this evening?
RN: Just fine, and thank you for asking. Now Lance, you and your faction are very impressive, no doubt about it.
LS: Why thank you very much, sir. It's our pleasure.
RN: And you were also right when you said that Ken Shamrock was an impressive wrestler as well. But the one thing you were wrong about is that you won't be dealing with Shamrock soon, because you and Ken Shamrock will meet at Slam Masters: Crunch Time! [Big crowd pop.]
LS: WHAT?! No no no no...
RN: Oh yes, Lance. And not only that, but tonight in our main event, you and Jonny Storm will team up to face Brad Armstrong and Ken Shamrock! This is going to be a terrific match! Good luck, gentlemen.
[A big crowd pop escorts Niemiller to the back as The Extremists are livid in the ring. They head to the back very upset.]
