00:00Larry, first of all, congratulations on another victory.
00:06You polished off John Buford with quite authority, no doubt about that.
00:09But you ask for this.
00:11You obviously have something to say, do you not?
00:13I just have something to say.
00:16I came out here a couple weeks ago and I poured my debts out to the fans.
00:21I made a statement of my own search, my own quest for self-recognition in my business.
00:27I made a challenge and a demand of Bruno and I heard Bruno's reply.
00:35Bruno refused to give me the opportunity I asked for.
00:40And I hope you people enjoyed my match today because as far as I'm concerned,
00:45if I can't have a chance to prove myself as me, this is the last match Larry Zbysko is going to wrestle.
00:50I can't exist.
00:57I am not going to exist in the business if I have to remain a shadow and a specter.
01:03I demanded something out of Bruno and he didn't feel he should do it.
01:07I can't make Bruno do it.
01:10I can't make anybody do anything, but I can do for me.
01:16And I have to know right now, I am not going to wrestle again.
01:19I want Bruno to come out here and I want Bruno to say if he wants to wrestle me to my face or if he doesn't, whatever he wants.
01:26Bruno, please.
01:43Bruno, you've heard what Larry Zbysko has said and everyone waiting for your response to that.
01:50It's true that last week or two weeks, whatever it's been, I said that I would never wrestle Larry Zbysko and I did mean it.
01:58However, however, I don't want it to be said that Larry's career may be ruined because of my refusal to go in the ring with him, number one.
02:06Number two, we've received so much mail from the fans saying that they want me to wrestle Zbysko.
02:12And all the years I've been wrestling, the fans have known me never to run away from any opponent.
02:18And I surely will not run away from this particular bout, which I really don't have my heart into it.
02:25However, there has to be a compromise here.
02:28I will go into the ring with Larry under these conditions.
02:31I will go in there to give him the opportunity to prove to the fans that he's a better man than I, if that's what he wants.
02:37For myself, I am not interested to go into that ring and defeat Larry Zbysko.
02:44So what I will do is this.
02:45I will accommodate the fans that they do want me to go in there.
02:48I will.
02:49I will accommodate.
02:51You can hear the response here.
02:54I will please Larry Zbysko into proving what's been haunting him all this time, which I had no knowledge of.
03:03However, I will say this.
03:04If Larry wants to try and beat me, fine, I will do everything in my power to stop him from beating me.
03:09As far as him trying to out-wrestle me, he'll have to be better because I will do everything in my power to keep my reputation at stake.
03:17But what I will not do, what I will not do is I'm not going to go in that ring and try to defeat Larry Zbysko
03:25because I could not find it in my heart to apply a hold on him and say, quit or I'll break your arm.
03:31Because I still regard Larry Zbysko.
03:33I have the same love for him as I have for one of my brothers.
03:36And I do not find it in my heart to go in there and hurt Larry or try to defeat him.
03:40However, I will say this, that since Larry wanted this badly, he's going to have to show the fans and everybody in himself
03:46that he is the better man because I will give nothing in there.
03:49All right.
03:51The match is made.
03:53But Larry, we'd like to get your response then.
03:57All I can say is I cannot ask for anything else.
04:00That's all.
04:01I can't wait.
04:02I'm very happy.
04:03That's what I wanted.
04:06All right.
04:07So the match made.
04:09Larry Zbysko will face Bruno San Martino next week.
