[Venom is seen backstage in the locker room.   He seems angry, and yet a little confused by the remarks made by Karnage.  He is ready to kick some ass, and yet he wants to get a few things off his chest first.   He is ready to verbally lambaste Karnage.  Here we go.]

Well Karnage, you seem to have some confidence in yourself.  First of all you make fun of your brother who can't seem to make up his own catch phrases.  Rampage, have you ever seen Dude, Where's my Car?   I know you have.  It's stoner bashing time?  That is straight out of that movie.  Come on, let's hear some originality here, you boar me to death.  Now Karnage, you jabber on about how you're better than me, but the only problem is, NO!!!   You're not better than me.  Your think you can beat me, NO!!!  Of course you can't.  And you don't seem to care about the TV Title.  That is your first mistake.  Well, maybe the second mistake.  The first was facing a man that can beat you down to a pulp.  Not caring about the TV Title, what is wrong with you.   Oh well, your loss.  Rampage, stop talking about your crowbar, it doesn't work so just shut up.

Karnage, you seem to think that I am burned.   I have no idea why.  What gave you that impression?  Did I ever say that I was in a fire or something?  I don't think so.  So why are you talking such trash?  You can take off my mask all you want, I'll just put it back on.  And you don't need weapons, and I can bring down anything I want to the ring.  Well, I don't need anything, so why would I bring anything?  And you say that I'm fat.   Are you blind, I'm not fat at all.  You must be even stupider than your brother.  You're an idiot.  Oh well, dems de brakes.

You say that I would be a great woman's champion?  I guess that's because you are always in the other change room.  But I can guarantee that I am a lot bigger than you are.  Oh ya, by the way, bruised and bloodied is just the way I like it, but only that will be your description.

Well, I have the opportunity to become the number one contender for the TNT Television Championship.  Let me tell you, after I beat your ass Karnage from pillar to post, you won't be able to stand.  I will leave you bruised and bloodied.  And just like I did to your brother, I am going to go on and beat whoever the Television Champion is.  You are next on my hit list Karnage because you are directly in my way from getting the TV title.  Prepare, because as the clock keeps tickin', you ass I'm gonna be kickin'!!!
