The show opens with a video montage of clips of Angle, Steiner, and Joe talking about how much it means to them to be TNA Heavyweight Champion.
Jeremy Borash meets Kurt Angle’s limo and asks him about the neck injury he received wrestling in Korea. Angle says that his doctor told him he can’t wrestle tonight, and he has no choice but to do what his doctor says; he just can’t afford to risk being crippled.
