Quotes:

Gerald Brisco: I think that if I'd have seen Eric Bischoff at the time, I'd wanna slap the hell outta him!

Ric Flair: [yelling at Eric Bischoff] You are a no-good, son of a bitch!

Scott Hall: You people, you know who I am. But you don't know why I'm here. Where is "Billionaire Ted"? Where is "The Nacho Man"? That punk can't even get in the building. Me? I go wherever I want, whenever I want!

Eric Bischoff: Come on, Vince. Step into the ring. Do what so many other people would love to do. Get your hands around my skinny little neck. You can do it... if you've got the guts. Do you, Vince? Have you got the guts to *really* show up? I do... do you? Just think of it. Just think how great you'll feel if you're able to step into the ring and break my jaw... knock me out... snap an arm or a leg! Whatever you'd like, Vince! It's no big thing. But it takes guts. That's what it's gonna take, Vince. Have you got the guts, Vince? We'll find out... we'll be waiting for you, Vinnie Mac. With open arms.

Eric Bischoff: I called the network and said; "I don't wanna go up at 8 o'clock, I wanna go up at 7:57. I wanna give away the results of their show three minutes before they even go on the air."

Gene Okerlund: I don't particularly think that giving away a competitor's results is ethical. But the hell with ethics.::Eric Bischoff: Ethically did I have a problem with doing it? Of course not, it was business. I didn't give a damn, I had no intention of ever going to the WWE, so it didn't matter to me.

Eric Bischoff: [about the infamous "Billinaire Ted" sketches] I found humor in them. I though they were funny. Surprisingly enough, Ted thought they were funny.

Quotes:

Bobby Heenan: [Buff Bagwell's back is turned from a distraction outside the ring] Now Hennig has to take advantage of the situation. His careers on the line.::Tony Schiavone: Well, and Buff Bagwell's careers on the line too Brain. Let's not...::Bobby Heenan: [cutting Tony off] Yeah, but who cares about Bagwell?

Bobby Heenan: I'll tell ya, if I was Sting. Being here in Canada, knowing Bret Hart's from Canada, knowing Bret Hart's got a bad leg... First thing I'd do, I'd go for that leg. I'd go for that ankle. I'd unlace the boot. I would hurt him so bad, he would crawl outta Canada on his hands and knees and his belly. That's what I would do. That's what you have to do. Cause that's the only way you're gonna beat Bret Hart in Canada, is make him crawl.

Bobby Heenan: [talking about Kimberly fighting David Flair later] For her to come into this building, for this kind of a match, she must have something up her skirt.::Tony Schiavone: I'm not going to respond to that one.::Bobby Heenan: Like a sleeve.::Tony Schiavone: You mean up her sleeve? Yes.

Bobby Heenan: [Kimberly is on her knees in front of David, insinuating she's going to give him a BJ] She's going for his wallet.

Suitcase packed with all his things
Car pulls up, the doorbell rings
He don't want to go, he thought he'd found his home
But with circumstances he can't change
Waves goodbye as they pull away
From the life he's known, for the last seven months or so
She said, "We found the man who looks like you
Who cried and said he never knew
About the boy in pictures that we showed him
A rambler in his younger days, he knew he made a few mistakes
But he swore he would have been there, had he known it
Son, we think we found your dad in Oklahoma"
A million thoughts raced through his mind
What's his name? What's he like?
And will he be anything like the man in his dreams
She could see the questions in his eyes
Whispered, "Don't be scared my child
I will let you know, what we know
About the man we found, he looks like you
Who cried and said he never knew
About the boy in pictures that we showed him
A rambler in his younger days, he knew he'd made a few mistakes
But he swore he would have been there, had he known it
You always said that this was something that you wanted
Son, it's time to meet your dad in Oklahoma"
One last turn, he held his breath
'Til they reached the fifth house on the left
And all at once the tears came rolling in
And as they pulled into the drive
A man was waiting there outside
Who wiped the worry from his eyes
Smiled and took his hand
And he said, "I'm the man who looks like you
Who cried because I never knew
About that boy in pictures that they showed me
A rambler in my younger days, I knew I made a few mistakes
But I swear I would have been there, had I known it
Never again will you ever be alone
Son, welcome to your home in Oklahoma"

She came from Oklahoma
She said, "The end of the world was on its way"
In a Chevy Nova
She came from Oklahoma
She said, "The end of the world was on a way"
In a Chevy Nova
Oh now, she tied everybody to that chair
[Incomprehensibe]
Her smile was just a shadow
That trembled in the sun and turned to stone
As she grew older
Her smile was just a shadow
That trembled in the sun and turned to stone
As she grew older
Oh she cried, "Tie me to the ground, just not today
Need me one more night to fly away"
Bought an El Camino
And a pocket full of pills she called her friend
And swore she'd found salvation
But the hand grenades inside her
Were ready to explode
When the pins were pulled long ago
By sweet temptation
Oh she cried "Tie me to the ground, just not today
Need me one more night to fly away
To fly away
To fly away
To flyaway
To fly away
To fly away
To flyaway
She found herself in New Orleans
With carnival of tears upon her veins
In the arms of strangers
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
Oh she cried "Tie me to the ground, oh just not today
I need me one more night to try to fly away"
To fly away
Tonight I fly away
Fly away
Fly away
Fly away
To fly away
Fly away
Oh, watch me fly away
Fly away
Fly away
Watch me watch me
Watch me fly away
Watch me
I'll fly away
Fly away
Fly away
When she came from Oklahoma
She said "The end of the world was on its way"
She came from Oklahoma
She said "The end of the world was on its way"
The end of the world is on its way
The end of the world is on its way
The end of the world is on its way

And all at once the tears came rolling in
And as they pulled into the drive
The man was waiting there outside
He wiped the worry tears from his eyes
Smiled and took his hand
And he said
I'm the man who looks like you

Oh a rambler in my younger days
I knew I'd made a few mistakes
But I swear I would have been there
Had I known it
Never again will you ever be alone
Son welcome to your home in Oklahoma

I was found out in the rushes,
Like a can of paint and old paintbrushes,
Like a ribbon wrapped around an old latch key,
Wicknor-Whatnot that's what you call me.
I was sleeping on your patio,
Listening to your brand new radio,
When you startled me awake,
I'm a man - I insist you insist on a piece of cake
*Uh oh, Uh ooh-ah oh, Uh ooh-ah oh, Uh ooh-ah oh* x 3
Chorus:
Way out west,
Stake that claim,
And forget everybody else's name,
I cant say,
Knew you well,
Lets pretend so we can begin again.
You've got eyes like Oklahoma
Learned to swim in Lake Texoma
Chances are you plan to leave too soon
Oklahoma that's what Ill call you!
When you're left with nowhere else to go,
Try and get me on my telephone,
And you'll find I threw it in a lake,
You're a man - You insist I insist on a piece of cake

Ooh!
Wind spins like the devil
Wraps around your home
Tears you from the roots out
Throws you like a stone
Well it...
May not be the first time
May not be the last
Standing in the ruins
A picture of our times
Searching through the rubble
For pieces of our lives
Well our...
Spirit won't be broken
Just take a look around
Take a look around
Come Hell or come high water
We'll stand together in the rain
Oklahoma
Where we don't forget our brothers and you won't forget
the name...
Oklahoma
Every last survivor
Seen across this land
Miracles can happen
If you leave it in God's hands
Well
Either I know heroes...
Or there's people doing what they can
Oh what they can
Come Hell or come high water
We'll stand together in the rain
Oklahoma (Oklahoma)
Where we don't forget our brothers and you won't forget
the name
Oklahoma
I'VE GOT TO BELIEVE!
I'VE GOT TO BELIEVE!
Bombs exploding when that rain will never change our ways!
Wind spins like the devil
Wraps around your home
Tears you from the roots out
But it'll always be our home
Come Hell or come high water
We'll stand together in the rain
Oklahoma (Oklahoma)
Where we don't forget our brothers and you won't forget
the name
Oklahoma (Oklahoma)
Come Hell or come high water
We'll stand together in the rain
Where we don't forget our brothers and you won't forget
the name
Oklahoma
Oklahoma
Oklahoma
(Oklahoma)
Where the wind spins like a devil
And it throws you like a stone
Oklahoma
Where our spirits won't be broken

See old mabel walk on down the house (? )
Pickin flowers for someone else
See old mabel walk down the house
Said son, better go on back inside
Storm brewing from the northwest side
Didn't ask about my daddy's ruin
Cause that old motherfucker ain't alive
See old mabel walk on down the store
Buying groceries to eat
Walkin on down the street
Said son, you better go on back inside
Storm brewing from the northwest side
Didn't ask about my daddy's ruin
Cause that old motherfucker ain't alive
See old mabel walk on down the house
Pickin flowers for someone else
Old mabel (? )
Family Bible on the coffee table

Look mom
They're gonna fry tim mcvay
She said 'the nice guy who's on the cover of all those magazines?
Why would they want to do a thing like that?'
I said cause he killed all those people
In oklahoma city
She said nonsense
People don't kill people
Carbombs kill people
I said well yea mom but they gotta do something with him
She said why don't they just get mike tyson
To bite off both his ears
And I said
True revolutionaries
Never bomb buildings
True revolutionaries
Never bomb buildings
It attracts too much attention
They never bomb buildings
A little girl down my block was born
With siliconin her breasts
It turned out her grandma and her mother
Both had the implants done well
Evolution took care of it this time around
And I wondered what it is about
So many women with big breasts
Make it look so sad and I thought well
Maybe it has something to do with the weight
The burden there is to carry in the world
To have to feed it
To be the object of its desires and
I wondered what burdens the rest of us
Are carrying all the time
I couldn't help thinking
True revolutionaries
Never bomb buildings
It attracts too much attention
They never bomb buildings
I decided to go for a walk
And not do nothing except look everyone I see in the eyes
And not be the first one to avert my eyes
No matter what
And I was planning to be gone for 10 minutes
But things started happening and I didn't return for two years
By which time I was the heavyweight champion of the world
And the expectant father of 16 children
By 13 different women
I was in a fishing village in the coast of spain
It was our lady of abortions sunday afternoon
All the pregnant women in their first trimester
Were filing before the priest
To receive their blessing of
Try again sometime, try again
The old barber had died his hair green for the occasion
And pierced his nipples and
Was riding his skateboard to the statue
Of conan o'brien
Where he was doing backflips for the kids
Who threw coins
Given to them by their parents
The visiting lecturer
Achingly handsome
Just finished giving a
How to build bombs in your basement
Seminar in the park
All the young girls put away their
Notebooks dreamily
The chimpanzee who had managed to
Type out hamlet three years before
Was sitting in the third floor office of a
Drivers license building
Typing out zoning ordinances
Typing out learners permits
Bored and lonely
Pee wee herman was sitting in the
Central square on the grass
Naked and masturbating
While all the townspeople moved to him
Slowly and kissed him softly and sung him
Lullabyes in the grass
And in burkley and in greenwhich village
And in paris and scottsbluff nebraska
No one sits around in funky little coffee shops
Anymore talking about revolution
No they get a starbucks to go
And they go back to their basketball games
Where they see who can jump higher
Who can jam
Who can take it to the rafts
And they all wear baseball caps
Except they don't say yankees or dodgers
They say nike, reebok, adidas
Cause the pro players don't play for teams anymore
They play for shoe companies
And the kids aren't fooled
Nah they're just biding their time
Waiting for the millenium to come
When all the computers will crash
Cause all the brilliant scientists of the world
Forgot to make them read
Zeros
True revolutionaries
Never bomb buildings
True revolutionaries
Never bomb buildings
It attracts too much attention
They never bomb buildings
Now sitting there with a head full of dark thoughts
Like I sometimes get
Suddenly everything cleared
And I realized the only purpose
For revolution is to be able to love
Who you want
How you want
When you want and
Where you want
So I took off all my clothes
Stole a boat and road out to the middle of the lake
And jumped in
And I looked back at you
And said come on
Get wet
True revolutionaries
Never bomb buildings
True revolutionaries
Never bomb buildings
It attracts too much attention
They never bomb buildings
They never bomb buildings

Down in the Panhandle
Where we manhandle
All that beef cattle
And the snakes rattle
And the wind whistles
Through the dead thistles,
It's a little piece of heaven
With a big house'n
Lots of big cows'n
Lots of big sky'n
Lots of dust flyin'
And I'll be so happy since
I'm bringing hime a prince
To my little piece of heaven,
Oklahoma.
Don't you love it when the
bobcats howl?
Don't you love it when the
coyotes cough?
Well, I know a few tricks
With a thirty ought-six
'n you can watch me blow those little
fuckers heads clean off.
And then, oh boy-
We'll go two steppin-
Through the arroyo,
Watch what you step in
'Cause them cattle eat their share
And it's gotta go somewhere
In my little piece of heaven,
Oklahoma.
And we'll motor into Tulsa for the
weeken'-
Through the windows of the pickup
we'll be peekin'-
Not a tree or a Jew
To block the lovely vie.
There's a race track and a zoo-
ENSEMBLE
And Oral Roberts U!

And we'll dress you up nifty
In a big Stetson
With some SPF 50
So no sun gets in
'Cause that freckly on your skin
Can do a feller in

And our leading cause of death
is Melanoma

Oklahoma, she won't be your friend
She waits at the disco for her song to end
Oklahoma, she must know my name
It's been six months now
I'm tired of this game
And I keep on trying not to go harder
Trying not to be smarter
Trying not to notice you
And I keep on trying not to go harder
Trying not to be smarter
But I can't go on
I miss my friends but I like her tone
Her eyes are black like telephones
And I try, and I try, and I try
I miss my friends but I like her tone
Her eyes are black like telephones
And I try, and I try, and I try
Oklahoma, she won't be your friend
She waits at the disco for her song to end
Oklahoma, she likes to reflect
Ignores you at parties
What did you expect?
And I keep on trying not to go harder
Trying not to be smarter
Trying not to notice you
And I keep on trying not to go harder
Trying not to be smarter
But I can't go on
I miss my friends but I like her tone
Her eyes are black like telephones
And I try, and I try, and I try

Sister Jeanie came from Oklahoma
She left when they tried to stone her
Her mother, she tried to disown her
She said she'd always been a loner
Well the other day she wrote me a letter
In which she asked me, please, to never forget her
She said if things get any better
She'll be dead by late September
When I found out, she was already miles away
Eighteen years, and eighteen wheels on that old highway
And in her letter that I recieved just yesterday
She said "Pray for me, papa, that we all don't just fade away"
I remember the day we got talking
She had a brother uptown, I had called him
She picked up the phone, said "Come on over
"I'm a coffee girl and queen in Harlem"
(Spoken) Well, that's exactly what she said
So I reached into my pocket for a token
And went and caught that train
When I found out, she was already miles away
Eighteen years, and eighteen wheels on that old highway
And in her letter that I recieved just yesterday
She said "Pray for me, papa, that we all don't just fade away"
Little sister, just so you know
Little girl, I love'a you so
If I never hear your voice go
I just listen for the wind
When I found out, she was already miles away
Eighteen years, and eighteen wheels on that old highway
And in her letter that I recieved just yesterday
She said "Pray for me, papa, that we all don't just fade away"
You know she said "Pray for me, papa, that we all don't just fade away"
Oh, she said "Pray for me, papa, that we all don't just fade away"

Go rock the babies to sleep, mama needs time to weep
Mama needs time, we all need time
Skinned up my knee on the grain, tryin to outrun the rain
Don’t know why I’m so scared of the rain
Someday when we’re older, we’ll learn who to trust
But heroes and saviors can’t save folks like us
So why don’t we wait til tomorrow to say our goodbyes
Some words are just so hard to say, lets just fold them
away
And save them for another day
It tears up my eyes when you hang up the phone
But I never cry when I leave Oklahoma
So why don’t we wait til tomorrow, to say our goodbye
Somewhere we grew up to soon
On this lost highway, chasin the moon
I’ve past all the bridges I’ve burned
But these wheels and days, they just turn, and turn and
turn
Go rock the babies to sleep, mama needs time to weep
Mama needs time, we all need time
Someday when we’re older, we’ll learn who to trust
But heroes and saviors can’t save folks like us

One, two
One, two, three
We were shaking in our beds that night
There were strangers in the streets that night
Preacher cried out hells been raised
The preacher cried out hells been raised
Another hot Oklahoma night
Another hot Oklahoma night
The kind of night where you just sit still
The kind of night where you just don't move
We were shaking in our beds that night
We were shaking in our boots that night
Tornado hit and the roof gave way
Tornado hit and all we could do was pray
How was I to know what I was to think
How was I to know what I was to feel
How am I to say what I can't describe
How an I to face what I cannot hide
We were looking in our hearts that day
There was movement in our hearts that day
They were talking but we could not hear
They were talking but we could not hear
Fever broke and the dead's raised up
Ground broke open and the dead were raised
The kind of night where you just sit spooked
In a hard life is, in a hard life in
We were looking in our hearts that day
We were hugging in our beds that night
Storm hit and the roof gave way
When a man say it ain't easy
And he swore duty, body and soul
How was I to know what I was to think
How was I to know what I was to feel
How am I to say what I can't describe
How am I to face what I cannot hide
One, two, three
Momma said you know she ain't strong
We were looking in our hearts that day
We were praying in our hearts that day
We were praying but we could not feel
We were praying but we could not feel
Another hot Oklahoma night
Another Oklahoma night
Fools part as the day breaks wide
Heaven's doors were opened wide
I quit, so I said give up
Said I can't stop the lights not gone
When a heart rips me open and all I could do was pray
How was I to know what I was to think
How was I to know what I was to feel
How am I to face what I cannot hide

Within a mechanical pose
And a heart pumping a need for control
Forced to fit inside a mold
Living to dehumanize is gonna take its toll
Take it in
And let it saturate
Under the skin
Until you can't even
Remember when
You first felt the sinking
Feeling that
Something's missing you
Traded for a gun
Did we inflate your sense of pride
And did it feed your lust for power
When you threw us to the ground
You took what's ours and sold it back
Another day another dollar for this town
