Ric Flair: "Well, Tony [Schiavone], before I start talking about the Koloffs and Magnum TA: At a point in time when this nation needs a national hero, I'm gonna start it out tonight in Los Angeles, California, and Hollywood, as much as I don't like you being a part of our business, I'm gonna turn you on tonight like you've never been turned on before. ['Magnum'-Chants]

Now—You hear the background. Magnum TA, we've been round and round. He's a great athlete, he's a great competitor, but in the words of many, he's not Ric Flair, and not ready to be Ric Flair, not nearly ready to be dressed custom-made from head to toe! He's not nearly ready to challenge the golden stallion! He's not ready to wear a 500 dollar tie and 1000 dollar alligator shoes! And to say Tony, what time is it? Well, well, Ric, there are so many diamonds around your Rolex, we can't tell what time it is! Magnum's not ready for that kind of life. He's not ready to go out into the airport and hear all the women say: 'Oohoo! There goes Slick Ric!'

Now, Nikita Koloff, you dared to put your hands on a very dear friend of mine, Mr. David Crockett. For that, my friend, you not only aroused the lion in Ric Flair, but you made it very clear to me and to the entire wrestling world that I gotta beat you! Now, the whole world knows I live in a big house in the big side of town, and I've got a big, big yacht! So Nikita, when I get done with you at The Bash, don't worry about having to leave the country! I'm gonna make you my personal gardener! Because that's all you and those big arms will be capable of doing, and that's pushing my lawn mower. Now, because I'm looking so fine, I want all the women head into Florida to remember, you don't have to go to Florida, you be here the fourth of July, and you can ride Space Mountain for nothing! Woo!"
