KERMIT THE FROG INTERVIEWS MONDO MBAMBA AND EXTERMINANS
(transcribed from the October 4th, 2004 edition of Bigtime Wrestling)

KERMIT THE FROG:
Kermit the Frog here with more Bigtime Wrestling. As you can see, I am in one of the conference rooms here at PWL Headquarters in St. Louis, and I am joined by former World heavyweight champion Exterminans, and his manager, Mondo Mbamba. It's been nearly two months now since these two men, as well as The Pillars of Pain, joined forces. They have said that plenty of rumors, misstatements, and misconceptions are swirling around regarding why they have created this alliance, and Mondo Mbamba specifically requested this time from the PWL to tell their side of the story. Mr. Mbamba, sir.

MONDO MBAMBA:
Please, Kermit, it's Mondo. You and I go way back, man.

KERMIT:
That's true, Mondo, but given your historical managerial attitude, I thought that...

MONDO:
Well, I'll stop you right there, man. That's but one of those misconceptions you referred to a second ago. Now, let me have a minute or two to say my piece, and Exterminans will have his say, as well.

KERMIT:
Very good, Mondo.

MONDO:
First off, the two questions I've heard most often are, "Why did Exterminans do what he did to Fat Albert?" and "What's Mondo Mbamba doing bringing those white boys into the Black Widow Party?" Well, I'll leave the first question to Exterminans, but I'll be more than happy to answer that second question. The Black Widow Party is dead. It's no more. I'll tell you, it was a helluva way to break into the system. A group of anything-goes, angry, powerful black men being held down by The Man. That brought me to where I am now. It made household names out of M. Kleats and Long Sweet Lips. We made some good money and had some good times. But I just said something there, the money. In this business, and in any other business in this country, it's not about black or white. It's all about the green, and you know what green I mean, Kermit. Greenbacks, baby, it's about the money. That's why The Black Widow Party is dead, we beat all the money out of that sucker. Now, those guys, Kleats, Rudy, Satchmo, Russell, I think they're great guys, all of them. But I'm a realist. You can't tell me that Russell Brute could outwrestle Ben Traymor. You can't say M. Kleats is a bigger draw than Schoolhouse Rocky. We're all here to make as much money as possible, and you have to admit, and deep down, Long Sweet Lips must admit, that at this stage in the game, The Pillars of Pain are much more powerful, more dominant, and are in a position to make more money than Tanka Satchmo and Russell Brute.

KERMIT:
Well, I see that Golem and Quartz aren't here with you two, which leads me to another rumor, that you and The Pillars do not get along very well.

MONDO:
We get along well enough to function together and to use each other to the best of our abilities. They need my promoting skills to earn a better living, and I need their in-ring dominance to earn a better living for myself. We don't have to be the best of friends, and I'm not going to pretend we are. Business is business, Kermit.

KERMIT:
Now, over to you, Exterminans. Your alliance with Mondo Mbamba was revealed back at In Your Head in August, when your friendly bout with Fat Albert broke down, and you and The Pillars engaged in a three-on-one attack on Albert.

EXTERMINANS:
Yes, that's true. Fat Albert's a good man.

KERMIT:
So, then, if I may pose to you the question Mondo alluded to earlier, why did you that to Fat Albert?

EXTERMINANS:
Fat Albert's a good man, Kermit, but as you know, he has quite a despicable history. Fat Albert was, quite possibly, the most hated man in all of wrestling in the 1990s. When he adopted a no-holds-barred attitude, he won the World heavyweight championship, and kept it for over three years. I am a former World heavyweight champion, and I think it's been far too long since I wore that belt. Really, I don't believe I've changed my attitude, but I do believe in doing what it takes to get back to the top, and staying there.

KERMIT:
You say you haven't changed your attitude much, I'll sort of see for myself now. What do you think of the fans?

EXTERMINANS:
The fans are great. I've always been loyal to my fans, the ones who have been loyal to me. However, back when I was in training, Joe The Giant told me something. I never forgot it, and now I see how right he was. Some fans can be very fickle, Kermit. You may be the most popular guy out there one night, and hated the next. Somebody that's beloved in St. Louis might be downright hated out in Los Angeles. Joe The Giant was hated when he wrestled in New York and Detroit. Big Stewie was the most hated guy in Oklahoma City, remember when he did his anti-rodeo gimmick at the height of Bullnanza? Even today, you have fans out there cheering for The Terror, something I don't think I'll ever understand. So, yeah, the fans can do what they want, but I'll always be loyal to my true fans, They know I will do my, uh, darndest to get back to the top of the mountain, and I will not let them down.

KERMIT:
To get to the top, Exterminans, you'll have to get past the current World heavyweight champion, Ben Traymor. Of course, he's another wrestler who learned from his mentor, and yours, Joe The Giant.

EXTERMINANS:
Hey, I can't say enough good things about Ben. He worked long and hard to get where he is, and he definitely deserves to be World champion. The thing is, though, I know I deserve to be the champion, too. To think otherwise, well, I shouldn't be in the business if I though otherwise, Kermit. I've said it before, I'll say it now, I'll keep on saying this, I will do whatever is in my power to win that title and enjoy a long, properous reign as the World champion. Also, I expect Ben to do anything he can to keep the title. I know he expects my best. He demands it. And when I get in the ring with him, I'll expect and demand nothing less than his best.

KERMIT:
Does the thought of coming up short ever cross your mind?

EXTERMINANS:
Kermit, those things always happen. When Joe The Giant went to New York fifteen years ago, he was unstoppable. He knocked over big name stars when he climbed to the top. In the end, though, he took the legdrop. That doesn't diminish his legacy or his position as one of the best in this sport's history. Joe's run in New York keeps me grounded, it showed me that even the legends stumble once in a while. The difference between New York and the PWL, though, in my mind, is honesty. Fifteen years later, I think we can all agree that Joe was conned out of the championship in New York so they could protect that radioactive orange goblin's mystique. I know for a fact that the PWL gives everybody a fair shake. The only way I could come up short in the PWL is if I'm just not good enough. Therefore, I know I will rise to the top once again.

KERMIT:
You had some negative words regarding The Terror a minute ago. He's another one of Joe The Giant's former students. What it is about him you dislike?

EXTERMINANS:
Speaking as a student of Joe The Giant, I'd prefer to keep my strongest opinions of The Terror to myself.

MONDO:
Hey, Kermit, I'll be more than happy to give you my opinion of The Terror. That guy, for as long as he's been around, has been one of the laziest, most arrogant people in this business. And when that business is pro wrestling, you know that's one bad turkey. He made a mockery of the PWL's championships, his reign as MWF champion drove that company out of business, and he ran his own TWO into the ground many times over. That guy's a disgrace to wrestling, and if Joe The Giant wasn't such a wonderful man, he'd tell you how ashamed he is of The Terror, too, man.

KERMIT:
With such a low opinion of The Terror, might he be a target for Exterminans, or, indeed, The Pillars of Pain?

MONDO:
Heh, all in good time, Kermit the Frog. All in good time.

KERMIT:
Well, we're about out of time for this segment, gentlemen. Any final thoughts?

EXTERMINANS:
I'll let my words here today speak for themselves, Kermit.

MONDO:
Exterminans, the once and future World heavyweight champion. The Pillars of Pain, the once and future World tag champions. You can count on that, Kermit.

KERMIT:
Mondo Mbamba, Exterminans, thank you very much.

MONDO:
And thank you for your time... Frog.

(Mondo laughs. Exterminans smiles. Kermit looks at the camera disgustedly.)
