Teddy says that he is not going to do it and he throws out a playa. Chris says that he did not think Teddy would do it because Chris does not share the same prejudiced views that Teddy has. Chris points out that he is a five time World Champion and an eight time Intercontinental Champion and the Superstar of the Year in 2008.

He talks about the disrespect that he receives from the jealous sycophants in the locker room, the fans, and inept fly by night General Mangers.
