For five months, that vision, that nightmare has played in my mind over and over and over again. Well James, tonight my nightmare becomes yours.

Well Kurt, you’ve taken me by surprise for the last time, and all I can say is put your ear to the ground and listen real closely, because Kurt, I’m going to be on you before you even know it. And Christian, let me give you a little advice. You don’t need to stir anything between me and Kurt, because the Olympic gold medallist has done a pretty good job of stirring it himself.”

I am sick and tired of people questioning my integrity in my absence. If for some reason I’m not here, then that just means that I’m taking care of business. It was one thing to be questioned by Christian on more occasions than one, because Christian and I have an understanding of one another, but when Scott Steiner calls me out on the carpet, I have a problem with that. Steiner, I am a man of my word, and when I say I’ve got your back tonight, that means I’ve got your back tonight. You don’t ever have to worry about me showing up for a fight, because whether I like you or not, I’ll be there. Scott, my pride and my honor override everything.”

Well Kurt, you’ve taken me by surprise for the last time, and all I can say is put your ear to the ground and listen real closely, because Kurt, tonight--I’m going to be on you when you least expect it--before you even know it. And Christian, just so you know—the little plan you were talking about for tonight--you don’t need to stir anything between me and Kurt, because the Olympic gold medallist has done a pretty good job of stirring it himself.”

· JB: “Sting, it seems that all your focus is on Kurt Angle. It almost feels like you’re overlooking the NWA World Heavyweight Title.”

· Sting: “Overlooking the world title, JB? No. Me walking out of this building with that belt tonight is a matter of fact, and nobody is going to stop me.”

· Producer: Vince Russo

· Tomko says “Strategy? How do you go over strategy with a guy who thinks the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? The only thing shorter than Scott Steiner’s attention span is . . . my temper. Scott Steiner is getting ready to go out to the ring, but I requested this time because I want to make a couple of things perfectly clear. I am sick and tired of people questioning my integrity in my absence. If for some reason I’m not here, then that just means that I’m taking care of business some place else. It was one thing to be questioned by Christian on more occasions than one, because Christian and I have an understanding of one another, but when Scott Steiner calls me out on the carpet, I have a problem with that. Steiner, I am a man of my word, and when I say I’ve got your back tonight, that means I’ve got your back tonight. You don’t ever have to worry about me showing up for a fight, because whether I like you or not, I’ll be there. Scott, my pride and my honor override everything.”

The difference between me and Sting is I don’t need mood lighting, I don’t need face paint, I don’t need to drop in from the ceiling like a Caped Crusader and I certainly don’t need to holler like a biatch!!!

· Jeff says “JB, I said I came back to right a lot of wrongs. It started at Lethal Lockdown when I did exactly what I said I was going to do: I helped Team Angle win the match, and it continues on through tonight, when once and for all, Robert Roode is put in his place and he finally realizes that he can’t push people like Eric Young around anymore. Now Eric, I know you’re home watching this, and I know you’re still recovering from the ramifications of what Roode did to you last week.

STEINER

It’s going to go through AJ Styles with his victory over Samolian Joe, and it’s going to end with me successfully defending my title against Kurt Angle and Sting.”

· Steiner: “Christian, you may be in a partying mood—but I’m pissed off. Where’s your boy, Tomko? He stiffed me Thursday on Impact—and he’s not here tonight. I’m telling you right now—if that Red Neck no shows tonight—I’m holding you personally responsible.”

· Christian: “Me—personally responsible? C’mon, Scotty, I don’t control Tomko—he’s his own man, But, Big Poppa—don’t sweat it—Tomko will be here—he always shows up at the last minute—you know that.”

· Scott: “Well—maybe somebody needs to buy him a wrist clock—or can that idiot even tell time?”

· AJ: “And while we’re talking about idiots—let’s talk about Samoa Joe. Joe—you and I have been down this road before and it wasn’t pretty then—and it won’t be pretty tonight. What—you think walking into that ring tonight all serious with a white towel around your neck is going to scare the Phenomenal AJ Styles? Na-hah—not with these guys watching my back!”

· Steiner and Cage are clearly not paying attention

· Christian wraps it up by saying “Anyway—it goes like this. With all the focus being on my match tonight with Sting and Kurt Angle--guys, rest your pretty, little heads, because I’ve got a plan that is fool-proof. By the end of the night, I guarantee you that Sting and Kurt will in fact annihilate each other, and all I’ll have to do is pick the bones.

Now the bottom line is this--I know I’m carrying a sword into a gunfight, but my sword is pretty big—you see JB, at a time like this I don’t even lose my sense of humor. But Damaja—Basham—believe me when I tell you this is no laughing matter! At the end of the day, BG isn’t only my partner, BG is my brother. You took his blood earlier tonight, and boys, you better hope you can take mine. And Christy, I haven’t forgotten about you.

It started at Lethal Lockdown when I did exactly what I said I was going to do: I helped Team Angle win the match, and it continues on through tonight, when once and for all, Robert Roode is put in his place and he finally realizes that he can’t push people like Eric Young around anymore. Now Eric, I know you’re home watching this, and I know you’re still recovering from the ramifications of what Roode did to you last week.

It’s going to go through AJ Styles with his victory over Samolian Joe, and it’s going to end with me successfully defending my title against Kurt Angle and Sting.”

· Steiner: “Christian, you may be in a partying mood—but I’m pissed off. Where’s your boy, Tomko? He stiffed me Thursday on Impact—and he’s not here tonight. I’m telling you right now—if that Red Neck no shows tonight—I’m holding you personally responsible.”

· Christian: “Me—personally responsible? C’mon, Scotty, I don’t control Tomko—he’s his own man, But, Big Poppa—don’t sweat it—Tomko will be here—he always shows up at the last minute—you know that.”

· AJ: “And while we’re talking about idiots—let’s talk about Samoa Joe. Joe—you and I have been down this road before and it wasn’t pretty then—and it won’t be pretty tonight. What—you think walking into that ring tonight all serious with a white towel around your neck is going to scare the Phenomenal AJ Styles? Na-hah—not with these guys watching my back!”

· Steiner and Cage are clearly not paying attention

· Christian wraps it up by saying “Anyway—it goes like this. With all the focus being on my match tonight with Sting and Kurt Angle--guys, rest your pretty, little heads, because I’ve got a plan that is fool-proof. By the end of the night, I guarantee you that Sting and Kurt will in fact annihilate each other, and all I’ll have to do is pick the bones.

Now the bottom line is this--I know I’m carrying a sword into a gunfight, but my sword is pretty big—you see JB, at a time like this I don’t even lose my sense of humor. But Damaja—Basham—believe me when I tell you this is no laughing matter! At the end of the day, BG isn’t only my partner, BG is my brother. You took his blood earlier tonight, and boys, you better hope you can take mine. And Christy, I haven’t forgotten about you. You were the one that was behind the attack, and your goons just carried out your orders. So at the end of the day, you’re just as responsible as they are. You want to be treated like a man?

For five months, Storm, that vision, that nightmare has played in my mind over and over and over again. Well James, tonight my nightmare becomes yours.

But, Kurt, your idea of being a tough guy is to jump me from behind, just like you did last week. Well Kurt, you’ve taken me by surprise for the last time, and all I can say is put your ear to the ground and listen real closely, because Kurt, tonight--I’m going to be on you when you least expect it--before you even know it. And Christian, just so you know—the little plan you were talking about for tonight--you don’t need to stir anything between me and Kurt, because the Olympic gold medallist has done a pretty good job of stirring it himself.”

· JB: “Sting, it seems that all your focus is on Kurt Angle. It almost feels like you’re overlooking the NWA World Heavyweight Title.”

· Tomko says “Strategy? How do you go over strategy with a guy who thinks the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? The only thing shorter than Scott Steiner’s attention span is . . . my temper. Scott Steiner is getting ready to go out to the ring, but I requested this time because I want to make a couple of things perfectly clear. I am sick and tired of people questioning my integrity in my absence. If for some reason I’m not here, then that just means that I’m taking care of business some place else. It was one thing to be questioned by Christian on more occasions than one, because Christian and I have an understanding of one another, but when Scott Steiner calls me out on the carpet, I have a problem with that. Steiner, I am a man of my word, and when I say I’ve got your back tonight, that means I’ve got your back tonight. You don’t ever have to worry about me showing up for a fight, because whether I like you or not, I’ll be there. Scott, my pride and my honor override everything.”

· Kurt says (looking around) “So, this is where all the hocus-pocus BS takes place? Sting wants to call me a gym teacher? We’re talking about a grown man who goes to Wal-Mart before every match, buys face paint, puts it on, and goes to the ring thinking he’s Ronald MacDonald—because that’s what you are, Sting—you’re a freaking clown!!! You know what this is, JB? This is a façade, this is a show—this is Hollywood. The difference between me and Sting is I don’t need mood lighting, I don’t need face paint, I don’t need to drop in from the ceiling like a Caped Crusader and I certainly don’t need to holler like a biatch!!! Because Sting, the difference between you and me is I am a wrestler. You are a cartoon character. Get ready Icon—because gym class starts . . . ”
