The Man In The Hat sits, as usual, at the center of the dais. To his left are Kat Dennings, Daniela Ruah, Leelee Sobieski, Grace Park, Mariska Hargitay, Jewel, Pink, and Jane Levy. To his right sit Katy Perry, Allison Mack, Kristen Stewart, Britney Spears, Neve Campbell, Allison Brie, Kat Graham, and Avril Lavigne.

Man In The Hat: "All right, as usual, before we get to questions, there are some people I want to thank. Let's start with Beevers Babes. Again. They sent us three excellent girls this time around, and we appreciate it. They've been here before. They'll be here again. We had some excellent indie fighters, so let's thank them, too. I also want to thank the Latin Union for Frege/Dennings. We want them to know we appreciate them thinkin' of us. And, of course, to The Academy for givin' us a fight against the GOAT. Keep in mind, she can pick and choose anybody she wants. They'll line up to sign. We're very grateful she chose us. And, let's not forget Bazz. We want to thank them for agreein' ta book what turned out to be one of the best fights we've ever had at Asylum, Wilde/Park. And, last but not least, the FCBA Commission for sanctionin' these fights and makin' Asylum possible. Now, questions. Cable Boy! Go!"

HBO Reporter: "You can't be happy about the Graham fight..."

Man In The Hat: "You know, I'm pretty pleased with how things went today. We had a whopping EIGHT fights, almost half the stable in action, and we had some tough opponents. Ellison is a girl who's beaten Britney among others. That Keegan kid and Dixon are both former British champions. Frege's got Alba's scalp, Wilde's knockin' on VanCamp's door, and Theron is, again, the Greatest Of All Time. Against a line up like that, you go 6-2, you had a pretty good day. Cable Boy II!"

Showtime Reporter: "I'm going to ask the exact same question I asked last month. How big a win was this for Stewart?"

Man In The Hat: "Very. This girl here, Keegan, she's got power. She's experienced. She's very physical. She's the kind of girl that's given Kristen trouble in the past, and that's why we booked it. She's not some tomato can. She can be a factor in the FCBA if she gets fights. She can be Lowndes with a British accent. Beat her and you beat somebody. And Kristen did just that. I'm very happy with her. Very. Well, look, it's BLONDE! Magazine!"

BLONDE! Magazine Reporter: "I want to ask about Leelee and Allison. Sobieski's fought light before why catchweight tonight? And, Allison looked awfully good against Dixon. What's next for her?"

Man In The Hat: "Well, yeah, Leelee could make 130 easily enough. She has before. But Ritter's a good sized light, so there was no need to do that. If we were fightin' a small light, maybe, but we ain't gonna do that with Leelee. And, speakin' o' Ritter, as you know, she is a girl I've always liked. I pushed for her to get fights before she ever got one, and, as you may remember, we actually had her first fight scheduled right here at Asylum before she hurt her shoulder and had ta be replaced. She's an Eastern PA girl, from up north a piece on the Susquehanna. She's got good size and length, all the attitude you could want, and she's drop dead gorgeous. She's a girl we hope to have back here and we hope she gets more work elsewhere. As for Mack The Knife, well. I wasn't surprised with what I saw tonight. She's had 20 fights since she got here, and she's won 18 of 'em. She's a top-shelf bantam who can beat you a lot of ways. The girl she dominated tonight can fight. But she couldn't handle Allison. Because 'Knife' is THAT good. Equal time! Brunette Magazine!"

Brunette Magazine Reporter: "I'd like to touch on Grace and Daniela. Obviously, you'd have liked to see Grace win, but that was an excellent performance, and Dani looked great in the follow up to her breakout win over de la Garza..."

Man In The Hat: "As I said before, Gracie and Wilde provided us with one of the best fights we've ever had here. The proof of how good Wilde is lies in her findin' a way to beat a champion like Grace. And the proof of how good Gracie is lies in how close she came to pullin' the fight out several times. That one could have gone either way. Didn't go our way tonight, but there's no shame in losin' to a girl like Wilde. As for Dani, yeah. This has been a big year for her. We knew it'd come sooner or later. She just has too much talent not to break through and start winnin' big ones. We got quite the crowd among the bigs right now, but that's OK. Everyone'll get work and we'll see who takes advantage of the opportunities. Tess, dear, go ahead..."

Tess: "You talked a little about Dennings. How big was her win?"

Man In The Hat: "Big. Kat lost a couple o' tough ones earlier this year. She needed to get back on track and take that step up by winnin' against a good quality opponent like Frege. I'm very pleased that she was able to do that. I like this kid a lot, both IN the ring and OUT. I want her to succeed in this-here federation, and tonight was a big step in that direction. Smackeroo, this has been quite a day, and the Hallowe'en party at The Manor awaits. Take us there..."

Reporter: "Can you talk some about Katy?"

Man In The Hat(smiling broadly): "Oh, I can talk about Katy ALL night. You may recall that a couple o' years ago, we got feelers from Theron's people about Katy and we declined. We did that because I didn't believe, at that time, that Katy had a chance to win, because, at that time, Katy was sort of a one-trick pony, the kind a great fighter like Theron would know how to pick apart. But. This is a different Katy, a girl who's come into her talents in full. She's still improvin' every time out, mind, but she's become a complete fighter now, a girl capable of goin' out and beatin' the very best. And you saw that tonight, saw what she can do. When you've beaten Theron, there's not a lot you CAN'T do. THAT is who Katy Perry is now. A girl that, when she gets in the ring, there's not a lot she CAN'T do. Now, a party awaits! Tess! Smackey! Limo!"
