Tons of Funks music hits, but it is Team Rhodes Scholars and the Bella Twins dressed up as them. Damien Sandow mentions that its been said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Sandow says whether the crowd can appreciate satire remains to be seen, Brodus Clay, Sweet T, and those low rent cheerleaders dont belong in the same ring as them.
