Howard Finkel, Jesse and others in “1989”

Howard Finkel

Ladies and gentlemen, at this time, I am pleased to announce that we have a very special guest. A surprise ring announcer, let's welcome Rugged Ronnie Garvin!

Jesse

What?!

Tony

Ho ho ho! What about that Jesse?

Jesse

What is the purpose of this? The guy gets banned from refereeing, he gets banned from wrestling, now he's going to be a ring announcer?

Tony

Well I think we better hear what he has to say. Why not?

Rugged Ronnie Garvin

Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall.

Tony

He does a good job.

Jesse

He's reading cue cards.

Tony

Well, there's nothing wrong with that.

Garvin

Coming down the aisle, weighing 275 pounds, the Mighty Hercules!

Tony

The fans on their feet. As Rugged Ronnie Garvin makes the announcement, the Mighty Hercules making his way to the ring and quite personally Jesse, I can't wait to hear this introduction from Rugged Ronnie Garvin.

Jesse

It ought to be interesting.

Garvin

His so called opponent,

Jesse

"So called opponent"?

Tony

Well, that's an opinion.

Garvin

coming to the ring with that little pip squeak, poor excuse of a manager. The big mouth of the south, Jimmy Hart. Here's a man who says he's from Seattle Washington. He claims to weigh 249 pounds. To me, he looks like he's overweight by 30 pounds!

Jesse

How dare him do that as an announcer!

Garvin

This individual who can't think for himself and when he goes to his wimpy manager for advice, little Jimmy can't give him any!

Jesse

I think Ronnie Garvin's a punk!

Garvin

He's the only wrestler I've seen with two left feet! Wears a robe with cheap rhinestones! Can't tell whether he's coming or going! Made the biggest mistake of his life when he asked for me to be reinstated, Greg "The Hammer" Valentine!
