WWE SmackDown!, 2004

Funaki:
This is Funaki, SmackDown! number one announcer! Tonight, I'm here Kurt Angle's office reporting on the very special announcement. Okay, Kurt.

Kurt Angle:
Excuse me, if you're done butchering my language, I brought you in here because finally, there's someone here on SmackDown!, a superstar that I can be proud of, and his name is Booker T. Booker, will you please join me? [Booker T enters] Now, Book, you're everything I want in a superstar here on SmackDown!. You're professional, you're a sharp dresser, and nothing would make me prouder than to present you with the United States Championship. [showing the United States Championship belt]

Tazz:
Wow.

Booker T:
You're kidding me, right?

Kurt Angle:
No. [lifting Funaki's arm]

Booker T:
You for real, dawg?

Kurt Angle:
Oh, yeah.

Booker T:
You talking about making me, Booker T, the United States Champion tonight? That's what you're saying, man.

[Booker T tries to take the belt]

Kurt Angle:
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa. Yes and no. Now, now, listen, Book.

Booker T:
Come on, man.

Kurt Angle:
Technically, I can't do it just yet, but immediately after the show, I'm gonna have a meeting with the members of the board, and by next week, you'll be the new United States Champion. But tonight, just for old time sakes, I'm gonna let you hold the title.

Booker T:
You're letting me hold the title?

Kurt Angle:
Oh, it's true.

[Kurt Angle gives Booker T the United States Championship belt]

Booker T:
Hey, I appreciate that, Kurt Angle. [Kurt Angle applauds] Thank you, man.

[Booker T shakes Kurt Angle's hand]:

Kurt Angle:
You are welcome. You are welcome.

Booker T:
I'm outta here, dawg.

[Booker T leaves the office]

Funaki:
Hey, Mr. Angle, that's not fair! That's not fair!

Kurt Angle:
Not fair? You're telling me it's not fair? I'll tell you what's not fair. The fact that you're a broadcast journalist and you can't even say "broadcast journalist". Go ahead, try and say it.

Funaki:
I'm a SmackDown!...

Kurt Angle:
No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Not number one announcer, say "broadcast journalist".

[Funaki struggles to say "broadcast journalist" then Kurt Angle grabs the microphone]

Kurt Angle:
You know what? You're a disgrace to this microphone. You're a disgrace to my SmackDown!. And, Funaki, I'll tell you what's fair, YOU'RE FIRED! [takes Funaki's microphone] Now, get out! What are you doing? Get out of my office!

[Funaki leaves the office]

Kurt Angle:
Unfair?
