Bruno : I got screwed out of the WWF Heavyweight Title at the Sizzler by this beach bum . Dusty , has been ducking me since he won the World Heavyweight Title. Why did he wrestle Yokozuna at Unranked instead of me .
Don Muraco , you are a low life . Your title is tainted . Dusty you pick and choose your title is tainted . Now eventually I’m going to take both and I’m going to toss them in the nearest trash can . You see last year , I went to hell and back and became the Bunkhouse Champion . ( Holds his belt up ) . I’ve held this title for a year . I went through 16 weeks of hell .
I didn’t know who I would wrestle night after night . Now this year , they are doing something different , but it doesn’t matter . Over 100 men are coming after me . I’ll be in BTW every week starting on July 3 taking on Eddie Kingston. Then after I destroy him and the others on Memorial Day weekend , I’ll beat the false Bunkhouse winner to retain .
This belt is not tainted . You gotta be a hell of a man to hold this belt and I am that man . So this means I’m the best wrestler walking this damn planet and this is the only title that matters !! To hell with every other belt . I’m Bruno Sammartino and Dammit to hell , I am the Bunkhouse World Champion and the only World Champion that matters !!! Renee Young: "Fans, Bruno Sammartino has snapped! I get the man may feel disrespected, but there's better ways to handle the situation! What a night here in Pasadena! We are about out of time but there's still plenty of Sizzler stops left! Don't you dare miss out on them!"
