What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWrestling fans are waiting on Drew McIntyre, the former WWE champion, who says he is two hundred eighty-five pounds and in the best shape of his life.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBut his return to the ring has no date, because he says he is focused on Hollywood.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWalt Okonkwo-Reyes owns Ringside Pizza and Wings in Dayton. Walt, how are you holding up?
Walt Okonkwo-ReyesOh, I'm relaxed, Hank. Totally relaxed. Hollywood, ring, whatever he wants. I just happen to have a laminated menu with his face on it.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLaminated.
Walt Okonkwo-ReyesWell, you can't wipe a wing sauce off paper. And the napkins, I did the napkins too. Four thousand of them.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo let me ask you again.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAre you relaxed about a return that has no date, or have you printed four thousand napkins on a hunch?
Walt Okonkwo-ReyesRelaxed.
Walt Okonkwo-ReyesVery. I did also repaint the back wall, and the sign out front says Home of the Scottish Warrior, in lights, and the city has questions.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe city has questions.
Walt Okonkwo-ReyesSomething about the sign being taller than the building. Look, I just want him back by Monday, when the crowd shows up and the wings sell themselves.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe report says his timeline is uncertain, so I would not paint anything else yet. Have you at least held off on the dough?
Walt Okonkwo-ReyesI ordered two hundred eighty-five pounds of it. One for every pound of him, in case he walks in hungry.
