Paul Heyman
“It’s an alliance of businessmen”
JIM ROSS: "Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to World Championship Wrestling. I'm here at ringside with the leader of The Dangerous Alliance. I understand, Paul, you have an announcement to make regarding your organization."


PAUL E. DANGEROUSLY: "As everyone knows, the next big night in this sport occurs this Thursday, Thanksgiving night, in Atlanta, Georgia at the Omni, Battlestars 91. You know, I was originally going to make this announcement at the Omni but I understand CNN was going to break the story and I'm not gonna give them the scoop. First of all, the first phase of our hostile takeover of World Championship Wrestling is complete. Please welcome the new United States Heavyweight Champion Ravishing Rick Rude! (Rude and Madusa walk into the picture.) Now, Mr. Rude and Ms. 007 Madusa and I were discussing this. This Thursday night at the Omni, Ravishing Rick Rude will destroy what's left of Sting. But you see, Jim Ross, you're a big football fan. Now, if the New York Giants all week long were preparing for the Miami Dolphins, and the NFL said, "Now you're going to be facing the Pittsburgh Steelers," would that be fair? No. Now, that doesn't happen in any other sport than wrestling. I'll tell you why. 'Cause Jim Herd and the Committees and the Board of Directors like to give wrestlers the shaft. Two victims of this shaft have come to Rick Rude, Madusa and I looking for legal advice. Because WCW says, "Oh yeah, forget about Barry Windham, we're going to put Ricky Steamboat in the match." And that's why they're no longer the World Tag Team Champions. Please welcome the newest members of The Dangerous Alliance, ARN ANDERSON AND LARRY ZBYSZKO! [Arn and Larry walk into the picture to boos.] Groundbreaking, isn't it? Now, this Thursday night in the Omni, the rightful World Tag Team Champions, Arn Anderson and Larry Zbyszko, Ms. 007 Madusa, myself the Chief Executive Officer of The Dangerous Alliance, and the man that crushed the hopes of all the little Stingers, Ravishing Rick Rude, United States Heavyweight Champion, will have the pleasure of watching Flying Brian learn the most stunning wrestling lesson of his life, because he will step in the ring with the world's greatest athlete, and newest member of The Dangerous Alliance, the World's TV Champion STUNNING STEVE AUSTIN!" (Austin enters the scene).

JIM ROSS: "You're assembling quite a lineup, here, Paul."

PAUL E. DANGEROUSLY: "It's not a lineup, it's not an army, it's not a stable and it's not a family. It's an alliance of businessmen who will bring WCW down to its knees. You know, Jim Ross, Lex Luger, Madusa, Rick Rude and myself, were not the only ones in on the plan to set up Sting. See, there was a man, very close friend of Sting's. He said, 'Sting, go in the ambulance, brother, you got plenty of time, man. Hey, Sting, if they're going to ring the bell for your match, don't worry about it, I'll delay the match.' Please welcome one of Sting's best friends, and the little Stinger himself, BEAUTIFUL BOBBY EATON! [Eaton enters the scene.] [To Jim Ross] I'm looking at you and you're starting to sweat. You're starting to say to yourself, 'Sting and everybody else are in just a little bit of trouble.' You see, WCW has had a lot of bodyguards, they've had a lot of hitmen. But they've never had a man that's so disgustingly sick that while another man holds a hand in a car door that he would be sick enough to crunch that hand with the car door and enjoy the sound of the bone crunching. That's why Larry Zbyszko is now being called by us 'THE CRUNCHER!' He's the man who will step in front of The Dangerous Alliance and take care of all our dirty deeds, 'cause he's sick enough, like Oliver North, to do it. In the meantime, I'm going to show you what power's all about. WCW says, 'Hey, no more Barry Windham, in comes Ricky 'The Dragon' Steamboat.' You want to play that game with us, we're going to play it with you."

ARN ANDERSON: "Jim Ross, let me explain something to you. Between Bobby Eaton and myself, we have held the World Tag Team Titles SIX TIMES! Nobody knows more about tag team wrestling than myself and Bobby Eaton! [JR nods] So in the Omni [WCW World Tag Team Champions Ricky Steamboat and Dustin Rhodes enter the scene to cheers] on Thanksgiving night, we're gonna, oh here we go."


JIM ROSS: "Let's keep our composure here, gentlemen. Let's keep our composure here, gentlemen. Keep your heads together, now."


RICKY "THE DRAGON" STEAMBOAT: "Let me tell you something, squirt! Thanksgiving night at the Omni, you bring Anderson down there, you bring Zbyszko down there. As a matter of fact, Paul E., you make any substitution you want because Dustin and I don't care. If you want these belts, you come down there Thanksgiving night you come get 'em.


JIM ROSS: "All right, Thanksgiving night, let's keep our composure here."


ARN ANDERSON: "Bobby Eaton and myself will come down there and come get them. We're gonna take you and you to new heights you never believed imaginable, pal."


JIM ROSS: "All right, ladies and gentlemen, we've still got a big main event still to come. What a night it's gonna be, in the Omni, Thanksgiving night.
