From the Hippopotamus 2019 Show...
Lauren: Bae... Are you seriously fighting the Ovalteen Man? I mean I used to drink that when I was a kid, but why would anyone name themselves that?
Cole: Lauren honey, It's Velveteen. But honestly that may be even a dumber name. Look I told you guys before, No one stays on top forever. That's stupid to think. Eventually everyone loses. But I have turned back men like Sami Calihan, Shawn Michaels, Nick Bockwinkel, Kevin Steen, Tanahashi, Drew Mcintyre and more. Do you really think I'm losing to the Velveteen Dream?
Look, you are an exciting youngster. Not sure what the hell are you doing with Prince but hey, I don't judge. What I do do however... is win. And here at the ridiculously named Hippopotamus I will win again. I told you all time and time again. I am the Best thing this business has to offer. And while Mr Breakfast drink thinks tonight will be the realization of his Dream what it will turn out to be is yet another demonstration of someone getting SHOT DOWN.
Lauren: I like Yoo Hoo better anyway...

Adam Cole hands the UWF World Heavyweight Title to the referee as the ref raises it up and shows it to all four sides of the ring. The referee then hands the title to the time keeper. The referee then gives instructions to both participants. When that is done he instructs the timekeeper to ring the bell and this one is now under way.
The match starts off slowly with both competitors sizing the other one up. Lock up. Break no advantage. Another lock up and again they break with neither man getting any kind of edge. Dream finally wins the lock up and has Cole on the ropes. The referee instructs Dream to break it which he does. Dream and Cole get into another lock up, but this time Cole has the advantage. The two get into the ropes. Cole releases the hold and does his catchphrase Adam Cole Bay...and gets slapped in the face by the Velveteen Dream. Some of the people cheer that, while others boo it.
