This is ridiculous.
Blader Skum: We are gathered here today to mourn the lose of a competitor, an opponent, and a friend. He is known as Venom. Venom didn’t have a great life. His parents refused to come to his funeral. His friends, only 2 of them could be here today.
We see the foxdog and a rock.
Hahahahahahah!
Blader: Venom put it all on the line in the ring. He had a modest career. He had just won the TNT World Title; and then he fought Blader Skum. He lost the title. But he was confident going into the Blader Bought at Sunday Night Mayhem that he would regain the title. Instead, he met his end. It was a tragic loss as the world watched in horror at the Mute Grab gone wrong. And as he crawled to the ring, he collapsed there, lying dead, as both Gravedigger and Blader Skum put his body in his coffin and brought him to his final resting place. But there is a morale to this sad story of despair and death; THIS IS THE END OF A CONFORMIST! To all of you in TNT, this is what I do to conformism. Look at Venom; he is buried. BURY HIM DIGGER! BURY HIM!!
Oh no.
Digger covers the grave with dirt and soil and fills the grave.
Blader: Here lies Venom, CONFORMIST FOR LIFE! This is the death of one conformist; now for the rest of TNT. And to anyone who wants to try their luck, I offer you one piece of advice; STEP UP! Blader and Gravedigger walk off into the darkness as the camera zooms in on Venom’s tombstone. “Here lies Venom. Death By Blader Bomb”. . . .
That's all the time we have for tonight folks tune in next week.
