Promo from Eddie Dennis. "Everyone's always astounded that I went from the principle of a private school to a professional wrestler. I'm a graduate of a red-brick university with a pure degree in mathematics. In the classroom...it was my job to mold the minds of the young people. Any pro wrestler can manipulate a body part...but it takes a certain level of intellect to manipulate the mind."
