Thank you so much, always, for your voice, ’cause it’s really loud, and your honesty, ’cause it’s beautifully brutal… So if you are watching at home, or if you are one of the insanely loud here in Toronto, Canada, or if you’re a WWE superstar: If you want some, hurry up and come get some, ’cause the last time is now!”
