Moses McKay joins us in the ring. He claims to not be impressed by Seth Von Kamp. It wasn't too long ago when Von Kamp couldn't rise up to the challenge and face the pressure of beating McKay in Beat the Clock. Von Kamp also had to rely on allies to get a hollow victory. And perhaps most of all, Von Kamp just can't seem to get past the scars of Money in the Bank. Von Kamp is a whiner living in perpetual victimhood. Why do you think he's never won any singles title in his entire career? McKay is light years ahead of a lost cause like Von Kamp and has no regrets over messing up his face at WrestleMania. In fact, if Von Kamp were here right now, McKay would bust him up all over again!

Cue Seth Von Kamp running down the ramp and entering the ring. McKay must have something on the stove, however, as he chooses to bail and head to the back.
