The Man In The Hat sits, as usual, at the center of the dais. To his left are Kat Dennings, Pink, Leven Rambin, Jewel, Britney Spears, and Alison Brie. To his right sit Chloe Bennet, Gemma Arterton, Anna Torv, Neve Campbell, Mariska Hargitay, 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 the Latin Union for agreein' ta come to Philly again. We have a good relationship with them, and they have some very talented fighters we can make matches with. They'll be back, and soon. Let's also thank LCA. Mr. V and company have also been here before and will be 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. Indie fighters are the backbone of Asylum, and will continue to be so goin' forward. And, let's not forget Bazz. We want to thank them for agreein' ta book another great fight, Spiridakos/Rambin. And, just so Pointy knows, we ARE eventually gonna BEAT Spiridakos...or at least go the distance with her..."

(Laughter)

Man In The Hat: "And, last but not least, the FCBA Commission for sanctionin' these fights and makin' Asylum possible. Now, questions. Cable Boy! Go!"

HBO Reporter: "Might as well start with Rambin/Spiridakos..."

Man In The Hat: "Well, I saw some good things from Leven. You see, we reacted to her loss to Wilkinson by puttin' her in tough. And I think she reacted to that well. She held her own with a girl that's one of the most talented young bantams in this-here federation. She didn't get a result, but she DID show that she's not out of her league against a girl like Tracy. There are blocks to build on here, and that's what we plan to do. Cable Boy II, let's hear it!"

Showtime Reporter: "Speaking of bantams, Pink looked pretty good in there against a bigger girl..."

Man In The Hat: "Pinkness, now, she's got as much physicality as anyone in the division. And, not only does she have the power and the toughness, she's a true natural athlete. I'm guessin' not many FCBA bantams do trapeze. She DOES. The package Pinkness has is as good as any bantam on the planet. There's no one in the division she can't beat. No one. Well, look, it's BLONDE! Magazine!"

BLONDE! Magazine Reporter: "Talk to me about Anna. It's an open secret that she subbed in for Decker. Didn't look like it affected her..."

Man In The Hat: "It shouldn't have. Anna's a veteran, plus, she had the normal amount of prep time. We wouldn't have tossed her out there with less. Anna's as good as any light in the FCBA. You'll note, no one has come as close to beating Strahovski on this run of Vonnie's as Anna did. You'll also note that Anna was able to fight Elisabetta's style and still beat her. That's another thing that makes Anna special. She can do a lot of things in there and beat you a lot of ways. Next year could be another big year for Anna, if she keeps takin' care of business. Tess, dear. Go ahead."

Tess: "Speaking of lights, you've said your top light right now might be Gemma, and she looked like it tonight..."

Man In The Hat: "Our lights are pretty interestin' right now, what with Katy and Daniela makin' their moves and Brookie losin' Friday night. We've got Gems and Swanny at the top and Anna right there, then Katy and Dani breathin' down their necks. Brookie's next, and Kesha's movin' up, too. Lots of competition in that division. Not much margin for error. Lose and you can be behind a bunch of girls real fast. Gems thrives in that kind of environment. She takes care of business as well as anybody in the FCBA. And she took care of business tonight. Smackeroo. Dinner awaits. Take us there..."

Reporter: "You have to be pleased about the results your other young bantams, Kat and Chloe, got. I notice they're sitting next to you..."

Man In The Hat(smiling broadly): "Well, I'm gonna say this again. This ain't a May Day parade in the old Soviet Union. We don't read tea leaves by lookin' at pictures of the reviewing stand ta see who's sittin' next ta Brezhnev. We sit the way we sit. That bein' said, I'm very pleased with Kat and Chloe. Kat took that step up last time out against Frege, and we gave her a different challenge this time, a big, physical girl, instead of a slick boxer. Kat handled it. It's comin' together for her now. She's up over 20 fights. Things are slowin' down. She can adjust, find ways to get work done. I've said before that she has the tools to be a bigger, stronger Fishel. You saw some of those tonight. As for Chloe, still earlier in the process, but the tools are all there. That girl she fought tonight was undefeated. She was no cupcake. This was a challenge for Bennet and she met it. Now, dinner awaits! Tess! Smackey! Limo!"
