-JB is with Frank Trigg. Trigg says if Angle and Joe are like him, they are throwing up because they are nervous. Kurt has been here before, and he won the gold. He is used to this. Joe hasn’t had the big limelight, and he failed against Angle three times, and he feels he can’t win tonight. He thinks Joe can hang, but Angle is so intense, and he will win. Trigg says Marcus Davis is a good trainer, but his training is not enough. Joe winning is probable yes, it could happen, but it won’t. He hopes for a good going away party for Joe.

-In the back and the new girl Lauren is with Joe. This was taped earlier today. She discusses what will happen if Joe loses. He says he doesn’t need a refresher. People wonder what will happen if he loses, but he has not considered it. Kurt knows he can win, and Joe will be DAMNED if he will lose. Joe has given his life to the sport, and if Kurt thinks that he can take it away, he is mistaken. Joe is on a mission, and Angle has what he desires. He will sacrifice it all tonight.

-BG wants to shake, they do and stare down. BG goes to leave and Kip then raises his hand. Kip then levels him with a clothesline.

-To the back with JB and Kurt Angle. This was also earlier today. Angle is focused and says before he came to TNA and he was with WWE, he would beat anyone they threw his way. Then he started to watch TNA, and he saw a man, Joe, he was an animal. He was intense, just like him. They have wrestled four times and Joe took him to the limit, and he gave him everything he had, and Joe took it. So the last time we wrestled, something had to give. He knew he had to do something drastic. They both want the title, but only one man can have it. Tonight, it is personal. In order for him to prove that he is the best, he needs to make Joe tap tonight, to beat him, to end his career. So Joe, it isn’t about winning, it is about survival.
