Strong: “Hey, why did your parents name you after a place where nobody has accomplished anything ever? It’s true, I’m a champion, I know. Now here’s the big one. What do you think your chances are against a wrestling legend like me?”
London: “I would say with the people behind me tonight, with the people watching from home, my mother cheering me on from the couch, my odds are better than yours!”
