After the match William Zabka stands up crying with paint running down his face and grabs a microphone.
Zabka: “This is a very hard moment for me. Tonight I have come to the realization that I have been pretending to be someone I am not for a very long time. Playing a role. A character from the 80’s. You see, I am not…the Ultimate Warrior. My name is..Johnny Lawrence.”
The CEO, Jeff Murrey’s music hits and he comes out to the ring.
Murrey: “Get him boys!”
