Lilián García: Lilian Garcia

Quotes 

• [William Regal and Tajiri are heading to the ring for Edge's King of the Ring coronation] 

  Jim Ross : And here comes the Commissioner William Regal, along with his associate Tajiri, carrying the King of the Ring trophy, as we prepare for the, uh... for the award ceremony.

  Lilian Garcia - Ring Announcer : Ladies and gentlemen, being accompanied by Tajiri, please welcome the Commissioner of the World Wrestling Federation, William Regal!

  Jim Ross : I was talking to the Commissioner before we went on the air, Paul; he's got a lot of fans, he says worldwide, you know. And he wanted to say hi to all the fans in Spokane, Washington. That's where he's gonna be this Sunday.

  Paul Heyman : OK. So, repeat the message for him.

  Jim Ross : Hello Spokane, for the Commissioner.

  Paul Heyman : You're a hell of a messenger.

  Commissioner William Regal : Hello to all my friends in New York City!

  [the audience boos] 

  Paul Heyman : The Goodwill Ambassador's in the house.

  Jim Ross : They've rolled out the red carpet here.

  Commissioner William Regal : Now, there is a lot of things that are lacking in this country. Civility, politeness, the washing of one's hands when one uses the lavatory.

  [the audience chants "Asshole"] 

  Commissioner William Regal : How nice. But the thing that is lacking the most, is royalty. That is why... it is my honor... to award the 2001 King of the Ring winner. Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce to you... King Edge!

  [the audience pops as Edge and Christian make their way down to the ring] 

  Jim Ross : Here comes Edge, along with his, uh, brother Christian. Edge and Christian made it to the semi-finals, Edge successful in his semi-final match-up against Rhyno, before beating Kurt Angle in the finals, again with a huge assist from the WCW owner Shane McMahon.

  Paul Heyman : Oh, no doubt Shane McMahon handed the King of the Ring 2001 to Edge.

  Jim Ross : I wonder how Christian's taking all of this?

  Paul Heyman : I don't know. Finally, a real king!

  Commissioner William Regal : Congratulations, Edge. Now, while your victory will be forever tainted because of the constant interference of that miserable Shane McMahon, you are still the 2001 King of the Ring winner, and I congratulate you.

  [the audience cheers while Christian applauds for Edge] 

  Commissioner William Regal : So, as you chaps say, it is time to "wreck of awesomeness", and let's give a very special five-second pose to the common folk.

  [Edge takes the huge King of the Ring trophy from Tajiri, and he, Christian, Regal and Tajiri pose with it, as Tajiri copies Edge and Christian's five-second pose] 

  Jim Ross : What's Tajiri doing there?

  Paul Heyman : He's posing!

  Jim Ross : It's Edge's moment.

  [Christian takes the trophy from Edge and sets it down on the canvas before taking the microphone from Edge, who was originally given it by Regal] 

  Christian : Thank you, Commissioner. I just wanna start off by saying what an honor it is to be standing here with my brother Edge, the 2001 King of the Ring.

  [the audience cheers] 

  Christian : But you know, my only regret is that chumpstain Shane McMahon also interfering in MY match, that cost me the chance to face Edge in the finals. Despite the fact that I overcame HUGE odds by beating both Kane and The Big Show, who combined weigh more than 1000lbs.

  [turning his attention back to Edge] 

  Christian : Anyways, I just wanna say I'm proud of you, and congratulatations are totally in order!

  [Christian gives the microphone back to Edge before lifting the trophy] 

  Edge : Thanks... Thanks, Christian. Commissioner, Tajiri, good citizens of the Big Apple...

  [the audience pops] 

  Edge : I welcome you to a new era - an Era of Awesomeness!

  [laughs as the audience pops] 

  Edge : And you know...

  [gets interrupted by Billy Gunn, and the audience boos] 

  Jim Ross : It's "The One" Billy Gunn... right in the middle of Edge's King of the Ring ceremony.

  'The One' Billy Gunn : Well well well, King Edge, huh? Congratulations, Your Majesty. Welcome to the King of the Ring Winners Club. When I won the 1999 King of the Ring, I was really looking forward to defending my crown the next year, but unfortunately, I had a shoulder injury. Then I wanted to defend it this year and wasn't even entered in the damn tournament! Then I had the indignity of sitting at WWF New York with a bunch of loud, obnoxious New York City morons.

  [the audience boos] 

  Jim Ross : Bitter, huh?

  'The One' Billy Gunn : But no-no, the topper: the worst of it all - not just sitting through the restaurant - was to watch a talentless joke like you actually win the damn thing!

  [the audience boos] 

  'The One' Billy Gunn : But congratulations, Edge. I really, really mean it!

  [the audience chants "Asshole"] 

  Jim Ross : Somehow, I don't think so. Bitter Billy.

  Edge : Wow, Billy! You sound like a human vaccuum cleaner - managing to both suck and blow at the same time!

  [the audience pops] 

  Edge : And Billy, since you're not really doing anything lately, I was wondering if you could do me a favor. If in two years time at the King of the Ring, I'm not defending a title, or even in a match, and my very special assignment is to go to WWF New York and eat a meatball sandwich? Then please, just shoot me in the head!

  [the audience cheers] 

  Edge : 1999 is SO two years ago, and it's not my fault if you've done a big pile of nothing since then! That doesn't give YOU the right to come out and rain on MY parade! And Commissioner, I vow to you that I will not "Billy Gunn" this King of the Ring title.

  [the audience gasps] 

  Edge : Because Billy, I plan on being entertaining.

  'The One' Billy Gunn : Yeah, you wanna be real entertaining? How about if I kick your royal ass right here tonight?

  Edge : Sounds good, Commissioner.

  Commissioner William Regal : I suppose it'd be alright, yes.

  Edge : Great, then I hereby decree that the first official act in the Era of Awesomeness will be to totally annihilate Billy Bitchcakes!

  [the audience pops] 

  Jim Ross : Wow! So Edge and Bitter Billy are gonna go one-on-one here tonight. Billy Bitchcakes?

  Paul Heyman : Billy Bitchcakes. Now that's a name. I think it fits!
