I&#8217;m your host Jim Ross here with Morty the Weasel!  We have a real slobber-knocker of a main event for you tonight!&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;That&#8217;s right, JR &#8211; we have Stan Lee and Alan Greenspan, one fall to a finish, no disqualifications, no countouts, locked inside a steel cage.  This might just be the biggest night in the history of our sport.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;And yet, this was not our original main event.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;That&#8217;s right, JR &#8211; we were first slated to match Cesar Milan and Tom Colicchio, but that was called off when there was a misunderstanding about Korean cuisine night on Top Chef.  Then we scheduled Derek Jeter against Ted Allen.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Jeter went right up against Allen, all right, but not in a way we can show you even here on pay-per-view.  So now we bring you our main event &#8211; And here come the competitors!  First, the challenger, Stan Lee, being borne out on a litter carried by six pasty comic-store owners.  Lee fighting in the ritual costume of his people, with the black jean shorts and the army surplus trenchcoat.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Don&#8217;t like seeing the knobby knees on our challenger, JR.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;No indeed.  And now the champion, Alan Greenspan, his golden throne being rolled into the arena while his attendants throw handfuls of cash into the crowd.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Hard to believe you could find that many topless virgins here in Philly, JR.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;For a man with that kind of power and wealth, all things are possible.  And now the locking of the cage, and our match is underway!  Stan Lee circling warily from a distance, doesn&#8217;t want to show his hand too soon&#8230;Alan Greenspan with that sockful of quarters, a devastating weapon, and he lashes out but Lee dodges&#8230;well, the man who created Mr. Fantastic should know a thing or two about slippery dodges &#8211; and here he comes back with a burst of web fluid to the eyes of Greenspan!&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Don&#8217;t know if that&#8217;s web fluid, JR.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Greenspan disoriented, unsure of where he is.  He&#8217;s as crazy as a pet raccoon out there.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Being married to somebody from NBC News, some of the stupid was bound to rub off eventually, JR.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Greenspan is up now, making a move &#8211; and he increases the prime interest rate by a quarter percent!  Stan Lee is trapped, unable to move, the inflationary pressure has him pinned in place&#8230;and Greenspan drops the rate by a half percent and the flood of easy money buries Lee under a pile of cheap commercial paper!&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Don&#8217;t see how he&#8217;s going to dig out of that, JR.  Looks like Greenspan will keep the belt for anoth&#8211;&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;My God!  Stan Lee is hulking up!  He is actually turning green!  His jean shorts are ripping!  My God!  This is unbelievable!&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;He&#8217;s finding the range now, he&#8217;s out of the pile of bonds and stalking Greenspan&#8230;Greenspan going for a sack of money, but it&#8217;s all dollars!  The depreciation has rendered it weightless!&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;And business is about to pick up! Greenspan running like a scalded dog, but Stan Lee unleashes those mighty green fists and beats the former Fed chairman like a government mule!&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAnd now Stan Lee is climbing the cage! He&#8217;s setting up his move, JR!&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;And Greenspan looking up &#8211; and it&#8217;s the Excelsior!  Stan Lee has hit the Excelsior on Alan Greenspan and he is down!  The ref runs in to count it&#8230;one, two, two and a half, two and three quarters, there&#8217;s a correction, two and one eighth, one and a half&#8211;&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Greenspan&#8217;s bought the ref, JR!&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;And Stan Lee holds up one fist&#8211;&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSNIKT!\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;THE CLAWS!  MY GOD, HE&#8217;S POPPED THE CLAWS!  AND GREENSPAN IS DEAD!  STAN LEE HAS DECAPITATED ALAN GREENSPAN!  MY GOD!  WHAT A FINISH!  WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION!&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Punctured my eardrum there, JR.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Welcome back to the FU Center in Philadelphia!
