Paul E. declares that Apollo's mother got pregnant mere months before the Roe v. Wade verdict came down, and that's the only reason he's here today!

 

Only bits and pieces of a noticeably shrunken Tony Atlas' promo comes through to me but he does get some good lines in about how other people wish they were him and how since nobody helped him get to the top, he's not helping anybody. Doesn't have no girlfriend, don't want one--he only needs a woman for two hours.

 

Apollo (or is that Savoldi?) confront Paul E. in the control room and the video cuts out.

Not the biggest fan of Paul's abortion comments; they smack of an indy trying desperately to make a name for itself any way it can.

 

Atlas's heel persona definitely looked good; this is a man who could barely put two words together as "Mr. USA" for Vince a few years before. A gimmick like this taken to the WWF would seem to have more potential than Saba Simba. Can't wait to see more of him.

Paul E. is in the control room and says that the biggest disgrace he’s ever seen in his life is that Mrs Apollo got pregnant just a few months before Roe vs Wade was passed, and that’s the only reason why Phil’s family plagued America with the ‘Fabulous’ Phil Apollo. Dangerously’s co-host apologises for the comments and says that if he had his way, if he owned ICW, Paul E. would go the way of every other organisation he’s worked for, he’d throw his butt out of here!

 

Tony Atlas interview that opens with some footage of him in action. Atlas says that it’s taken him a long time to get where he’s at and you’ve got people coming in thinking they can beat ‘the man’? What happens though, defeat all across the board! When you put somebody in the ring with a man such as himself, you’re wasting your time. He doesn’t even know why he comes out to talk to these filthy necked geeks? Any man that thinks he can handle him is stupid. Every time a woman looks at her husband, she wishes she had a man like him, while every time a champion in another territory sees a man like him, they wish they were him. A lot of people wish they were him but that’s just wishful thinking and wishful thinking gets you nowhere. Hard work and dedication is what it takes and no-one helped him get anywhere! He doesn’t like anybody, doesn’t care if anybody like him, hasn’t got a girlfriend and doesn’t want one. He only needs a woman for two hours, then so long honey! He’s the man and he’s the only man in wrestling that everybody is jealous of.

 

Between the horrible audio and Atlas’ accent this was tricky to make out. Atlas has some OTT mannerisms and facials, whilst he certainly thinks a lot of himself! Interesting to see how this develops as it’s a different Atlas for sure that I remember from seeing him in early/mid 80s WWF.

 

Paul E. ‘the paranoid’ one is still in the control room, and the co-host says how he owes everybody an apology for his comments earlier in the show. Heyman says that he doesn’t owe anyone an apology and if someone should make an apology it’s that little tadpole that swam upstream and gave us Phil Apollo. Apollo shows up in the control room and confronts Dangerously but the footage cuts out.

 

Paul E.’s comments scream of someone trying way too hard.
