Hey, Thatcher, you wanna step up for them ID Kids, right? Well, that’s why you got your ass stomped out. And the only thing that’s stopping me from ending your career was Sean Legacy trying to step up and act like a superhero. Boy, you ain’t no superhero, you a goofy. You want me to get you a cape or something, boy? I’m gonna tell you one time and one time only, you better play with somebody less dangerous shorty, before your ass end up on that medical table right next to your mentor.
