That’s right, see Las Vegas has got nothing on some of the things I saw on Bourbon Street last night. If there was ever a city for the Rated R Superstar, this is it.

I’m going to give you the biggest party this city has ever seen. But I have to admit this celebration is going to pale in comparison to the party I’m going to throw after I defeat Kane at the Great American Bash.

That’s right, I’m going to walk out of San Jose still your World Heavyweight Champion. But now that we have the business out of the way it’s time to get this party started. What do you say.”

PINK HAIRED PERSPECTIVE:

~Will WWE ever learn that contract signings are BORING??? And add to the fact you have Batista and Khali out there and that’s just asking to put fans in a coma.

~The roster must be thin if they are dusting off Chuck Palumbo for matches. Did anyone else forget that he had a job?

~When Edge’s wrestling career is over I would love to see him in an announcing job. The man is very amusing.
