Have a Nice Day
“It was my old friend DDP, and it was his way of saying that Bill Watts had been let go.
“That’s great,” I said, not really meaning it, but not wanting to be ostracized as a Bill Watts supporter. “But who’s taking his place?”

He had even punched Shane Douglas in order to get a cut on his head to “swell up for the camera.”MoreLess
