And we’re back to AW Live here on CBS Sports! We want to thank our sponsors and the network for giving us this platform to promote the biggest spectacle of the year, Havoc Rumble live from Chicago, THIS Sunday night!
Nate Burleson
And a big thank you to the fans who have tuned in all week, watching every superstar jump in front of a camera and address their arch-rivals and their allies, their purposes and their motivations, showcasing their talents and their determination, because as we all know, only ONE participant will SURVIVE to take on Ash Blake at Evolution 4 in Detroit! You can watch any or all of these promos on-demand, ONLY on the AW Network!
Nate Burleson
A big congratulations to the Hall of Fame Class of 2021! T.F.K, the greatest United States Champion in the history of Action Wrestling! Katta Pult, an actual American hero! O.G. Bishop, one of only two three-time Television Champions and who is one of the most memorable figures in Havoc Rumble lore! And of course, Ryan Lockhart, who holds the distinction of having the single greatest World Championship reign in our storied history! But we still have one more to announce! And a big thank you Miss Darcy, the excellent producer of John Thomas Live, who has been helping us out in the greatest week of the year!
Darcy awkwardly waves to the camera.
Nate Burleson
But we have something special for you this morning! The annual Celebrity Rumble to kickoff Havoc Weekend is an exciting event, and the winner gets to compete in the main event on Sunday! Last year, legendary actor and musician Jack Black was victorious and -- roll the tape, Darcy!
We see a clip of Jack Black winning. It’s not pretty.
Nate Burleson
And joining me in the studio is one of the chosen few who will try to pick up the win this year and compete with over fifty Action Wrestling superstars on Sunday! He is the host of NBC’s 1st Look, NBC’s Celebrity Sleepover, and is also a member of the Paramount+ family of networks by competing on TWENTY seasons of MTV’s The Challenge… a seven-time Challenge Champion… JOHNNY BANANAS!
Nate Burleson
Thank you for joining me today, Johnny! May I call you Johnny?
Johnny Bananas
You can call me anything you want, buddy! Thanks for having me! I’m really excited to show what I can do. People can joke all they want about us being reality stars but we are athletes first… we just happen to have fun personalities that people like to watch!
Nate Burleson
I’m very familiar with the show, Johnny! I’m actually hosting the reunion of the Challenge: All-Stars next week!
Johnny Bananas
Cool man! Mark Long, the producer of the show, the GODFATHER of the Challenge, asked me if I wanted to compete but I’ve got so much going on, you know? Traveling and doing my shows but when the opportunity for this came up, I couldn’t say no!
Nate Burleson
Darcy, play us a little clip of what Johnny is all about!
Nate Burleson
Oof… that’s harsh, what you did to Sarah!
Johnny Bananas
It’s part of the game! You gotta be ruthless, you can’t leave your destiny in someone else’s hands! And that’s why I’m leaving Celebrity Havoc as the winner and moving on to the main show! That’s what I do, Nate, that’s what I’ve done my whole Hall of Fame career!
Nate Burleson
Do you have any guesses who the final entrant will be?
Johnny Bananas
Nah, I mean, I’d by lying if I said I watched AW every week. I wouldn’t want to offend anyone. But let me ask you something, Nate - would you rather have someone who has the longest reign ever, or someone who has won a ring SEVEN TIMES? Show the graphic, Darcy!
Nate Burleson
That's really impressive, Johnny! Look at all those wins... wait, what happened between your sixth and seventh??
Johnny Bananas
The kids figured me out for awhile, Nate! When your the king, everyone's always trying to get you out! But that's just the GOAT doing GOAT sh-- stuff, Nate! I came back, in my 20th season, 38 years old, and took home half a million dollars! I didn't call it quits when I realized I couldn't get back my championship!!
Nate Burleson
What are you implying here, Johnny??
Johnny Bananas
The kids figured me out for awhile, Nate! When your the king, everyone's always trying to get you out! But that's just the GOAT doing GOAT sh-- stuff, Nate! I came back, in my 20th season, 38 years old, and took home half a million dollars! I didn't call it quits when I realized I couldn't get back my championship!!
Nate Burleson
What are you implying here, Johnny??
Johnny Bananas
Not trying to ruffle any feathers, Nate. Just stirring the pot a little bit - that’s what I do!
Nate Burleson
Let’s switch gears a little, Johnny. Trust me, I’m doing this for you!
*laughs*
Nate Burleson
I don’t want you to paint a target on your back because if you make it to Havoc, these are DANGEROUS men and women.
Johnny Bananas
I’m dangerous, too!
Nate Burleson
We’ll find out! But right now, I want Darcy to play us another clip. Do you have it ready?
Johnny Bananas
Michelle! I love her, man. She’s a badass.
Nate Burleson
Michelle Waterson, the “Karate Hottie”, is of course an MMA superstar and former Atomweight Champion and Strawweight contender. You did a show with her a few years ago, Champs versus Stars, is that right?
Johnny Bananas
That’s correct, Nate. We were competing for charity.
Nate Burleson
And as we just heard, she said you were the Jon “Bones” Jones of the Challenge! High praise from one of the most exciting fighters in the world
Johnny Bananas
I would say she knows a little about what she’s talking about, Nate! I’m not just the BEST Challenger of All-Time… I AM THE CHALLENGE!
Nate Burleson
How did you fare against her in Champs versus Stars?
Johnny Bananas
Darcy, show the graphic!
Nate Burleson
So you beat her in the final?? Oh wow... do you think you could take her on, and take her out... again??
Johnny Bananas
Why are you asking, buddy?
*a chuckle*
Nate Burleson
Also competing at Action Wrestling’s Celebrity Havoc… "THE KARATE HOTTIE" MICHELLE WATERSON!
Johnny Bananas
Hell yeah, this is exciting! I’m going to be looking out for those heavy kicks for sure! Who else we got, Nate??
Nate Burleson
That’s all we’re going to reveal for now! Catch us live ALL weekend here on CBS Sports, and I can’t wait to see you in action, Johnny!
Johnny Bananas
Thanks for having me, Nate!
As the network fades to a commercial, it picks up Nate mouthing “Michelle is going to hurt you badly.”
