You seem perplexed, Randy- we havent been properly introduced. My name is Keith Lee, and I have come here to offer you to stop what you’re doing, and bask in my glory. You have been called many things, the Viper, Apex Predator- I have been called many things, but one thing is true- I AM LIMITLESS. He offers to fight Orton right here, right now.
