As Mark Arkinson got his breath back, he grabbed the microphone and managed to blurt out the following: King Kong Donged. I told you all he was a fuckin bum and y'all doubted me. I'm a real man all these guys are pussies. Bobby Dent, Peter boy, Elise Gracie, Zack Rise you clowns are all next in line. It's real easy to talk shit on buzz but then get exposed in the ring.'.
