-Taz and Tenay put over the effort of the guys, and discuss the rest of the card.

-Ric Flair’s music hits and he is brought out in a wheel chair. He is not a happy camper, and says not to WOOO him. You should bow down to him instead. He is Ric Flair, 16 time world champion. And now look at him, this is not funny. He has fallen off of cages, slammed off of ladders, thrown through tables and crashed in an air plane, but has never been in a wheel chair. He came to TNA for action, and right now, he is not getting any. The people that are responsible for this are Hogan and Abyss. Tonight, the Abyss and Hogan pay the price for doing this to him. You respect him, Woooo!

-Abyss and Hogan are backstage. Hogan says Abyss has it all, and the power of the Abyss-a-maniacs are like nothing he ever saw. Abyss says when he put Flair through the ramp, it felt good, he feel the energy. Hulk says not to be afraid of the power. Hogan says the gold on his finger will allow him to have gold around his waist. Bischoff shows up with a hat on, due to the shaved head. Hogan says that Bischoff needs to not make things personal. Bischoff says he will be professional.

Kevin Nash and Eric Young vs. Scott Hall and Sean Waltman (If Scott Hall and Sean Waltman win, they get TNA contracts)
Nice touch here as Waltman and Hall get no entrance music, I appreciate small things like that. Hall busts out the “HEY YO” for some old school goodness. Survey time.

-Moore is busted open as Williams says he never deserved the title shot. Williams mocks the acrobats that call themselves wrestlers, but he is what the X-Division should be, technical wrestling, hold and counter hold, catch as catch can! That is why he brings prestige to the title and the division. Moore belongs in the circus with the clowns. Williams wants to help with his makeup and grabs a purse from a lady at ringside. He then gives Moore a makeover. The crowd chants for RVD, but he isn’t there.

-Anderson calls for him mic and tells Angle people are fake. You are not an American hero, or a real gold medallist. And you’re not a real American. Anderson tried to have a “straight up match” with him, and Angle cheated to get the win. And now, while the people think that you will go and rest easy, Anderson knows that the only thing Angle will do is lay in bed, looking at the ceiling, and will only think “Anderson… Anderson… Anderson… Anderson… Anderson…”

-Christy Hemme is with AJ Styles. AJ says his strategy will be the same as it has been for months, win at all costs. He will also make Abyss pay for what he did to Ric Flair. AJ plans to hold the title at the end of the night, styling and profiling.

Whatcha gonna do, when Abyss-a-mania and the power of the Hulkamaniacs runs wild, and crazy on you?
