*Backstage, the Crotch is standing by. His hair is a little shorter than usual, with a hint of green at the top.*

Crotch: I'm standing here with PenWing. PenWing, last week the Sudden Death Connection made a statement to the Bastardo Family, and this week you find yourself facing Howlerama in a handicap match. You've got to admit there is a sense of justice in that.

PenWing: Justice? Crotch, this match came about because Louie ran screaming like a little baby to the Doctor's office, where he whined so much that the Doctor had no choice but to give him this match. That's justice?

Crotch: Well, considering the beating you gave Howlerama last week, I'd say you had this coming.

PenWing: Crotch, when Lor pulls one of her pranks on you, like, oh, say, coloring your hair, do you think to yourself "I must of had this coming to me?"

*The Crotch runs his hand through his hair, visibly uncomfortable with the reference.*

Crotch: Well, you see, um-

PenWing: The fact is, Crotch, there comes a point when a person has to stand up to his bully and say "enough!" Isn't that right?

Crotch: Well, uh, I suppose-

PenWing: Well, sometimes that bully doesn't listen to words. Sometimes all the words in the world aren't enough to change that bully's mind. Sometimes, and this should only be considered in the most extreme instances, <PenWing winks into the camera> sometimes a little force is required to get that point across.

Crotch: A little force? The SDC charged the ring and threw out every member of the Bastardo Family! And that was after you broke a Sherwood on Howler! And then you ended it all with quite possibly the most dangerous move I've ever seen! You call that a little force?!

PenWing: No, I call that the Sudden Death Connection!

Crotch: Well, I call the match you're having tonight a small taste of justice!

PenWing: Oh, there will be justice, Crotch. But not tonight. You see, tonight Howlerama is getting off easy. Tonight they only have to face me in the ring. Now, I don't know if you noticed, Crotch, but it takes two to execute the Sudden Death Connection. And at Anathema Wednesday, well, you do the match, Crotch, how many people will be representing the SDC in a tag match against Howlerama?

Crotch: Uh, well, there's you and a partner who is yet to be named.

PenWing: And how many does that make, Crotch?

Crotch: Well, that makes two.

PenWing: So next week, Howlerama gets another taste of the Sudden Death Connection. But this week, they get off easy. If you ask me, Crotch, I'd say Howlerama should be smiling right now. They asked for this, and you know how it is.

Crotch: I do?

PenWing: <smiles> Of course you do. Anytime, anywhere, <the crowd joins in> SUDDEN DEATH RULES!

*The camera cuts back to ringside.*

Marcum: The knucklehead is going to get his ass kicked tonight, and he knows it! Oh sweet, sweet justice at last!

Monroe: That may be, but at Anathema Wednesday, well, PenWing could be teaming up with either Captain Sammitch or Chewy Walrus! I don't think Howlerema will enjoy that match up!

Marcum: If PenWing can't make it to that match, do you think it would become another handicap match?

Monroe: Just what are you insinuating?

Marcum: Oh, look at the time! We'll be back after this!
