IN THE RING
World Elite (Eric Young & Sheik Abdul Bashir & Kiyoshi & Brutus Magnus & Doug Williams & Rob Terry) + Hernandez: What was the point of the three minute interview, if Eric Young was just going to come to the ring and repeat everything. The Sheik talked about the Iraq war, specifically six years earlier when the President declared that the war was over. The Sheik asked what was killing 600 of his brothers and sisters every day? The Sheik said it was a world “you people” know nothing about, because they are brainwashed by the American media. The Sheik said they think that voting for an American Idol is more important than voting for an American President. The Sheik said they think a dead King of Pop is on the front page of the newspaper instead of a dead Iraqi child. The Sheik said for the weak, it’s easier than the truth. The Sheik called America a “junkie” and an addict for OIL. Eric Young said he wanted to talk about Hernandez, so Hernandez made his way to the ring. Young asked Hernandez when was the last time he came to the ring wearing the colors of his own country (America).
