Next, what Walovlir Motovov dreamed is a professional wrestling match. It kinda looked like a fight between Rocky and Ivan Drago. There were a large, cheering audience, plus Yuri Motovov and Yevgeniy Motovov are present, and even Lt. Zofia. There are Soviet generals, politicians and soldiers who are cheering them on. Then, there was one woman in a business suit, announcing the start of the fight... standing in the center of the ring. The bell rang and said, "The following contest is for one fall."

After such a beautiful version of the Soviet anthem, which sounded like it's from Rocky IV, there came Katarina Dombrovski, Boris, Natasha, Ivan and Sergei from Mother Russia Bleeds, Ivan Drago, Zangief, and some more of these Russian characters who are ready to rumble in a fight, and I think it's played by the Alan B. Campbell Orchestra.

Then the referee enters the ring. He has a light blue dress shirt, a black bowtie, white gloves, black pants and black shoes. He kinda looked like what a usual boxing referee would wear.

Amidst the cheering crowd, what it reveals is that a Latin American dictator is watching some wrestling on his cellphone, watching those Russians losing a fight. He laughed and said, "This is delicious!" He then looked at an African-American man, dressed as a professional boxer. He kinda looked like Muhammad Ali and/or Floyd Mayweather Jr. for some sort. "Guess you don't be needing those USBs that contain videos I made for you. You want me to get rid of them?"

"Close hombre, but no cigar," said the dictator. "So don't be hasty. It's not until I see those stupid, incompetent idiots pummeled to dust, which should be any moment now." Then he sees something... he kept on repeating on watching this bloody fight, where Weather Man and his friends are winning a wrestling match. "Yes! Yes!" he cheered them on.

Then he woke up and screamed. Good thing it's just another nightmare right?

"Bah... I didn't dream about Weather Man today," Ralphie said. "What I only dreamed is just me dating with Ruby Rose in Paris at peacetime... eating spaghetti."
