Just think of all the verses left on the cutting room floor: where’s Harley, Col. DeBeers, the Roadies?
I’m Harley Race,
a true ring technician,
I’ll best the former champ,
by pinfall or submission!
Age & experience,
will make the kid humble,
I’ll show him how it’s done,
at the WrestleRock Rumble!
[Can be performed as part of the WrestleRock Rumble, or strangely, as a GLOW Girl Rap.]
Bruiser Brody no-selling former champ Verne’s blows always makes me laugh.
Great cameo by one of my heroes and role models, Ray ‘The Crippler’ Stevens, at 1:46 or so! A fine addition to Team Bockwinkel!
Why is Scott Hall checking out the bootie (1:43) of Shawn Michaels’s kid sister? His niece? His daughter? I don’t want to know!
