The following is a transcript of Tracy Smothers’ well-publicized shoot on JBL:
[Intro] Wrestling fans, you’ve seen it online, you’ve seen the PPV….One Night Stand, the ECW PPV. Tracy Smothers, the man you’re seeing, was on the PPV. On the main-event, there was an altercation between JBL and The Blue Meanie. There’s been pictures online of The Blue Meanie – he’d been sucker-punched, busted open. And, then, the man you’re seeing, Tracy Smothers, that had supposedly gained a cheapshot on JBL. So, this is Tracy Smothers’ side of the story.
[Smothers] All I saw was, what happened there. Everybody saw it who watched the PPV or taped it, JBL nailed Meanie – hit him in the back of the head. I guess he knocked the staples out that he got from the chairshot at Hardcore Homecoming. Busted him open, turned around and sucker-punched him, punched him in the eye. It took a whole lotta guts Bradshaw, took a whole lotta guts. You’re 6’7″, 280 pounds and you’re going to jump on Meanie? Why don’t you jump on me?
You wanna say that I hit you when Sandman was holding you? Well, I did, I hit you several times and I want to hit you some more. Here’s the deal: I’m challenging you to a fight. This is a shoot right here. You’re a big bully. You jump on people, you’re a spot-picker. A monkey knows what tree to climb – climb this tree right here, buddy. This is what we’ll do. This is the bet right here – all bets are off. My life savings, my two cars, my dog and my home. All you gotta put up is a donut. I’m challenging you to a fight. Anytime, anyplace, anywhere. This is not a storyline. This is not anything in creative storyline or any of that crap. This is me and you talking and I’ve known you for a long time – since you started – and I’m going to kick your ass just as soon as I see it.
