#Austin strolls around the ring his eyes looking out onto the crowd as the boos and we want Ding chants slowly start and continue to grow louder. #Austin responds by raising The International Title in the air as he walks over picking up a microphone. 

#Austin Lee: That’s cute…. All you sheep chant for Ding wanting him to come out here yet all Ding wants is just another sandwich, just another plate of food or better yet another stain to add to his smelly tank top he probably has never washed.

#Austin Lee: That man cares as much about you all as he does with his own personal hygiene, his own well-being and hell even his professional career here. But yet all of you sheep love him and continue to chant his name…...

#Austin Lee: You chant for a man who has done nothing but take things away from me. But yet I am the bad guy in all of your eyes…..

#Austin Lee: He has taken the last bit of happiness I had in this company…. But you boo and disrespect me….

#Austin Lee: But as of last week…. 

#Austin looks at The International Title in his hands….

#Austin Lee: Ding….This is just the beginning of what’s about to come…

At that moment, the titantron screen flips on and Bill Ding appears on screen. Surprisingly, his signature tank top is completely white and clean today. 

Ding: Why hey there Austin- ahem sorry…. ‘#Austin’... gotta put the hashtag in there since that's what all tha cool kiiids are sayin’ nowadays, even grown men like you. 

Ding: But it's ok, I'll roll with it. I am tryna watch mah figure these days but the hashtag sure do remind me of waffles, and that brings joy to mah heart!! Anyways….

Ding: You still out there bellyachin’ about how you haven't been paid your dues?? Callin’ these fiiine people in mah city “sheep”? Well baaaaah humbug to you, sir.. you got the wool pulled ovah yo eyes there, son!

Ding: You used to be aiight, #Austin. A cool, slick fella just chillin’ in his hot tub. But then you got mixed up with the likes of B-17 and Co., and that began the slippery slope. Havin’ him do your dirty work in the ring… tsk tsk. 

#Austin Lee: Telling you this once, you do not speak his name or about things you know nothing about.

Ding: And yea I know I know… the hoverboard. I tried to tell ya before that I'd make it up to ya! But you didn't wanna listen. It's ok, daddeh! Ding always keeps his word. 

Ding: Now daddeh, I want ya to look to your left there, in tha corner. You see that big purple bag there? 

The cameras pan to the corner of the ring where there is indeed a large purple velvet sack sitting there. #Austin glances at it and then back to the titantron where he is becoming visibly annoyed, and inaudible seeming to be saying “so what!”. 

Ding: Go ‘head, now! Open ‘er up! 

#Austin hesitates for a minute, but he cannot quiet the jeers of the crowd so he hastily grabs it, unties it, and hurriedly opens it. He reaches inside and pulls out a brand new fancy schmancy hoverboard. 

Ding: Ya see, Austin… I did always promise that I'd replace the one I broke last year, and I'm here makin’ do on that promise. A man without his word is nothing, and I'm a whole lotta word, ya dig? 

Ding: But see, ya got somethin’ of mine there that ya stole from me… so let's make this right, huh #Austin? Fair trade? Among men? 

The crowd shouts a mixture of cheers and jeers as #Austin takes his time to consider his answer. 

#Austin Lee: Fair trade? What world do you think we live in that fair exists Ding? But you are right Ding this belt belong to you and I will never deny it, I'm not claiming it to be my own nor that possession is 9/10 of the law… I have this Ding because I can.

#Austin throws down the mic. He snatches up the hoverboard, inspecting it with a pleased grin as he tucks it under his arm and exits the ring with Ding’s International Title also in tow. He makes his way up the ramp, looking behind him as he shouts at the booing crowd when suddenly he bumps into something blocking his way. 

Ding: No siree, daddeh…. Step it up, sonneh. A trade’s a trade. 

The two men stand nose to nose. #Austin is the first to flinch as he takes the title and cracks it over Ding’s head. Ding falls and lays there for a moment, as #Austin stands over him taunting him with both the hoverboard and title, before Ding kicks the hoverboard out from #Austin’s grasp. 

Ding races to grab it and with a loud “CRACK”, whacks #Austin over the back with it. As Austin writhes in pain, Ding motions, threatening to snap the hoverboard in half over his knee if he doesn't hand over his belt. Austin feigns trying to reason and plead with him, before taking his cheap shot by kicking Ding square in the crotch. 

Ding drops the board and clutches himself as Austin hops up. He grabs the board and tucks the belt securely under his arm with a smug smile, before dusting himself and turning to return backstage.
