00:00Two weeks ago, Kurt Angle entered a rehabilitation facility.
00:09At this time, he's still in there, and exactly when he'll return is still in question.
00:17Kurt knows he has my complete support, the support of the entire company,
00:23and especially these gentlemen in the ring with me right now.
00:28I know each and every one of you here tonight in the arena,
00:31and those of you watching around the world right now, join me and all of us in supporting Kurt.
00:38Kurt, we love you. We're thinking about you during this difficult time.
00:43You hang in there and get back to us real soon, please, okay?
00:58Well, before we can hear from the Main Event Mafia-
01:01Well, now it's a party.
01:02Music of Aces and what?
01:03Now it's a party.
01:04I didn't start talking about it.
01:05Now it's a party.
01:06Now it's a party.
01:07That's what I'm saying.
01:08Vice President leading the way, Mr. Anderson,
01:11yet joined by the members of Aces and Apes, who will meet the Main Event Mafia one week from tonight.
01:20The stakes couldn't be higher, because if you lose the fall in the match,
01:24whatever individual loses the fall, they're gone for good.
01:27They've gotta leave Impact Wrestling.
01:29Well, the MEM.
01:35That means that you guys only have one week to come up with a replacement for your buddy.
01:47You guys okay with that?
01:48You nervous?
01:50You guys cool?
01:51Because I'll tell you what, me and my buddies here are so excited to be able to,
01:57I mean, just think about the bragging rights, right?
02:01To be able to say that we ended the pro wrestling career of Rampage Jackson before it even started.
02:09We ended the career of Samoa Joe.
02:18Hey, hey, hey.
02:19Hey, we're just talking here.
02:21Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo.
02:33Or that the Icon Sting willbang.
02:38Yeah, cheer him up.
02:44Cheer him up, folks.
02:46Because he's never going to be able to wrestle again.
02:50Or, check this one out, check this one out.
02:56Remember that Magnus guy, hell of a body, hell of a future.
03:03He was gonna be, gonna be the future of Impact Wrestling.
03:09Mr. Anderson,
03:18the only future you need to concern yourself with is your immediate future.
03:26Because your immediate future involves me walking up to you and
03:29punching you in your mouth.
03:37And I don't have the best hearing,
03:40but I think these people were telling you that you suck.
03:43Yes, there may be five of you.
03:57And yes, we have one week to find a replacement.
04:01And yes, it may be difficult to find one in the back.
04:06But I'm pretty sure that Norfolk, Virginia is Mafia country.
04:16So I'm pretty sure that if we can't find someone back there,
04:19we might be able to recruit someone in the audience.
04:22Now that's funny.
04:24They're all drunk.
04:26So one way or
04:34the other, you boys can be sure that one of you is going home with the pink slip,
04:42baby.
04:43Yeah, yeah, no.
04:51Shut up.
04:56Let me tell you something.
04:59Here's the deal.
05:00Tonight starts a new chapter in the book called Aces and Eights.
05:04Tonight, Bully Ray regains his World Heavyweight Championship.
05:11And then next week, we eliminate one of you.
05:15Let me do a quick head count here.
05:23Yeah, yeah, yeah, there we go, baby.
05:28Love it.
05:29Yeah, guess we shouldn't be surprised.
05:31Aces and Eights, they counted the numbers.
05:33They see that they have the edge here against the Main Event Mafia and Aces.
05:38And Eights gonna try and exploit that numbers game.
05:41Oh, you're damn right, why shouldn't we?
05:43Why shouldn't our guys do what you're seeing, the beatdown?
05:47Look at Magnus getting lucky over there against Anderson.
05:50It's a difficult position for the Main Event Mafia,
05:53trying to recruit a fifth member to join him.
05:55Somebody who has to put their, potentially their career at stake.
05:58Yeah, that's right.
05:59That's right, this next week, wherever these guys find,
06:02if they find anyone, that guy gets beat around.
06:05These other four guys, they're gonna be out.
06:07Gone.
06:08Yes, we stand strong and powerful.
06:12Yeah, and I think the light bulb just came on.
06:14I think the Main Event Mafia just realized they're in trouble.
06:18Lets save numbers edge to aces and eight.
06:21Yes, we in trouble.
06:22All right.
06:30Oh, we have to do this.
