-> ''"It may seem counterintuitive, but you'd be surprised at how often it's some of the best players that inevitably try to fake runs. You might think that having the talent to achieve a world record would make someone less susceptible to cheating, but it often works against them; if anything, having a better understanding of a game makes you even more likely to cheat, which is why at the top level, proof standards are so important."''

Well, the reason he gives is that he wanted the heroes to come to his house and look at some stuff he's working on. Fucking ring them up! Or just ask them, they're right there! Offer them a lift on your getaway vehicle! It's like he only knows how to get things done in an evil way. All he wants is to work with the scientist to open an ancient ruin, something the scientist seems quite willing to do, but not after he's been helicoptered to a Dracula castle in a fucking cage!

->''"After what seemed like an eternity of toying around with his opponent and not even attempting to win the match, [[Wrestling/JohnCena Cena]] was taken by surprise when [[Wrestling/JohnLaurinaitis Laurinaitis]] tried to bail out of the arena and the match instead of taking his never-ending abuse like a man. Fortunately, the recently fired [[Wrestling/TheBigShow Big Show]] was on the scene to throw Johnny right back in. Instead of helping John Cena grind Laurinaitis into dust, though, Show [[BodyguardBetrayal knocked out Cena with one punch]], allowing Johnny to pick up the win and keep his job. It was all [[WoundedGazelleGambit an ingenious plot]] by the wily GM, albeit one that could only work if Cena bullied him for seventeen minutes rather than just pinning him at the earliest opportunity.\\\
When you think about it, this whole match was a heavy-handed morality play as clear-cut as any of Aesop’s fables, except at least the hare never knocked the tortoise onto his shell and made it looked like he’d pissed himself."''
