LG: "Here is your winner, BRET 'THE HITMAN' HART!"
Backlund attacks Brawler after the match and locks him in the Crossface Chickenwing. To everyone's shock, BARRY HOROWITZ runs in with a chair and clears the ring. JR and Tenay are stunned, as they didn't even know Horowitz was in the building.
BARRY: "Brawler, listen to me. I'm going to say something you've probably never heard before. I didn't come here to kiss your ass. I'm here because we've been held down for too much of our careers for far too long. I believe that if we work together, we can get somewhere. Maybe it's a little late in the game for us, but I won't let anything stop me and neither should you."
BRAWLER: "Thanks for saving me, Barry, but do you really think people will take the two of us seriously?"
BARRY: "Yes they will. Remember how I beat Skip back in 1995 and the crowds loved me? Or how you got the pin on HHH on the July 4, 2000 episode of Smackdown? Those were great moments. We can do this. No, we're not going to be called the J.O.B. Squad. I say we call ourselves (pause) the All-Stars!"
BRAWLER: "OK, Barry, I'm in."
They shake hands and do the "pat yourself on the back" thing. Crowd cheers.
