Gardenboy from "Best Friends Never, South Africa" wants to see Strong Bad pull off some awesome wrestling moves. As a "crafty ring veteran", Strong Bad assures Gardenboy that being a professional wrestler isn't actually about awesome moves, but instead puts emphasis on costumes, gimmicks, and "dinosaur-tranquilizer-fueled ranting and raving".
