Right before this, “The Prince of Darkness” Kevin Sullivan had brought Mike Davis to the ring for a squash, with Davis imitating “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes‘ mannerisms to the letter, even having the initials “DR” on the side of his trunks. This whole angle was based on how Dusty had starte...
BARBARA CLARY: "With The Lock, and a different Dusty Rhodes. Want to explain what's going on?"
KEVIN SULLIVAN: "It's not a different Dusty Rhodes. A year ago, I predicted, as Abudadein took me to the Seventh Step, on the Seventh Veil, he told me, darkness lives in Rhodes' heart. You and Rhodes are cosmic warriors. Together, I will draw the lifeforce from Dusty and put it beside you. Together you will stand. And it took some time to get it through to the Dream, but now the Dream has arisen, the Dream has arrived. The Dream has spent time in Singapore, on Bugis Street with Abudadein himself. He laid on the bed of nails, fasted for 30 days, found his mind and soul in the desert. Dream, it's been a long time coming, I'm glad to have you Big Dust."
MIKE DAVIS (imitating Dusty Rhodes): "You know, Kevin Sullivan, they said it could never be done! They said Dusty Rhodes would never walk together with Kevin Sullivan. But as you see right here, before you with The Lock, Dusty Rhodes himself, the only American Dream, is right here, baby and don't ever forget it. Because I'm here to get rid of that big imposter, who says he's with a family! I've seen the dark side, I know where I'm coming from, and Virgil Runnels, there is but one Dusty Rhodes, and you looking at him right here. I am the American Dream, and together with my people, Kevin Sullivan and Lock, we will take over, we will overcome, we will, pandemonium everywhere baby! And I guarantee you, in every arena, throughout the world, I have been to Bangkok, I have seen Abudadein, and the dark side is here."
KEVIN SULLIVAN: "The Dream lives on. Mulligan, indiscretions you can't hide." (Sullivan and Davis laugh evilly, and they and Lock leave the set.)
BARBARA CLARY: "We'll see what happens. That's our Take Five for this week."
