0:00.0	Hey, hey, hey, time to put your middle to the test now.
0:04.7	I've got something to celebrate.
0:09.9	Oh, do you know you're messing with the best now.
0:11.1	I don't.
0:11.9	I do.
0:12.3	I do.
0:16.4	I've got something to celebrate soon.
0:23.8	Oh.
0:24.3	Oh, do you?
0:25.7	In a few days, I will have held the PCW women's title for a year.

During the aforementioned Monday Night Wars, WCW, when they were a thing versus WWF, their women's champion, I can't remember if it was Medusa or Alundra Blase.
1:30.9	I think they're the same person.
1:32.4	Alundra Blaze, I think, was the women's champion at the WWF, signed over to WCW while still
1:38.3	holding the title, appeared on WCW's program and threw it in the bin.
