00:08Ladies and gentlemen,
00:10it's time to witness a very special moment in wrestling history.
00:14This is Michael Francis Foley, called by Jeff Jarrett,
00:18the greatest acquisition in the six years of this company's existence.
00:22He now has officially joined the TNA family.
00:25Whether you first knew him as Cactus Jack, Mankind, Dude Love,
00:29or Mick Foley, you knew you would always remember,
00:32you would always connect with this industry's most unforgettable character.
00:37You might label him a pro wrestler, but you can't just limit that.
00:41A multi-time best-selling author, an actor,
00:44the subject of a noted documentary,
00:46most recently, a wrestling commentator.
00:49And now, it's time to find out what issues Mick Foley will address on Impact.
00:59A multi-time best chance to integration.
01:35It is an honor, an absolute honor to stand in the same ring where a few short minutes
01:56ago, Cute Kip just stood, an absolute honor!
02:09Obviously this is a huge night for me, really one of the biggest nights in my entire career.
02:23And I want to thank all of you out there in the impact zone and at home, watching on Spike,
02:37especially those who just tuned in from that incredible vice presidential debate, for making
02:46this such an unbelievable evening, thanks to all of you, thank you!
03:09I want to thank the founder of TNA as well, Jeff Jarrett, for not only having the faith to bring
03:16me here.
03:20But to refer to me as the greatest acquisition in TNA history.
03:25That was very nice, thank you!
03:30I also want to go out of my way to thank someone very special, without whom this moment would
03:36not be possible, Vince McMahon.
03:47Come on, come on!
03:51I want to thank him not only for presenting me with so many incredible opportunities, but
03:56also for making the decision to leave WWE an easy one.
04:04So I told you.
04:11Right in the middle of this historic night, here comes the Olympic gold medalist.
04:17Here comes Kurt Angle walking, striding with a purpose down the ramp.
04:23What's the deal with Kurt Angle coming out here to confront Mick Foley?
04:27Well, think about the day he's had.
04:29I mean, the situation where Jeff Jarrett airing his turn in laundry.
04:34I didn't even get a chance to say my line.
04:38I told Vince McMahon, thanks, but no thanks, on that bridge to nowhere.
04:48I'm sorry to bust your party, Mick, but Jeff Jarrett pissed me off.
04:56Jeff Jarrett wants to embarrass me on national TV by showing an interview of me talking about
05:02Vince McMahon two years ago.
05:05Jeff Jarrett wants to fine me $25,000 for a comment I made in an interview.
05:14Just last week, Jeff Jarrett said you, Mick Foley, are the greatest acquisition in TNA history.
05:26Jeff Jarrett is full of .
05:34And so are all you fans for buying into that crap.
05:48You see, two weeks ago, two weeks ago, Jeff, you said something to touch the nerve.
05:56Jeff Jarrett, you told me that I lost everything.
06:02You're right, Jeff.
06:03I did lose everything.
06:08Jarrett said, I lost the TNA World Heavyweight title.
06:14He's right.
06:15Jeff Jarrett said, I lost my Olympic gold medal.
06:20He was right.
06:23And it's no big secret.
06:26Jeff Jarrett said, that I lost my wife.
06:34Well, Jeff, I'm not the only one to lose their wife.
06:44As far as you, Mick Foley, what did you ever do?
06:48You tell me, what did you ever do?
06:50I am the greatest acquisition in the history of TNA.
06:56This is my ring.
06:59I carried this company on my back alone for the past two years.
07:04Wait, wait, wait, wait.
07:05Just a second.
07:06You want to talk about your exploits as an Olympic champion?
07:09You can, because you deserve it.
07:11But I'm not going to stand here and listen to you talk about how you single-handedly carried TNA on
07:17your back.
07:18How dare you diminish the accomplishments of a guy like Samoa Joe?
07:24How dare you belittle the efforts of a guy like AJ Styles?
07:30But just between me and you, Kurt, I know who is doing the heaviest lifting.
07:39Listen, you want to know why I'm here?
07:41There's a lot of reasons, but the main one is you.
07:45Yeah, I poked a little fun at Vince McMahon and maybe I didn't care for having a bellicose billionaire saying,
07:51Say it.
07:52Say it.
07:53Say it, damn it, in my earpiece every week.
07:58But I'll tell you one thing.
07:59There was an aspect to that job that I appreciated and that I loved.
08:04And that was having the opportunity to sit that close and both watch and call some amazing wrestling matches featuring
08:11some amazing wrestlers.
08:14I saw Edge and The Undertaker.
08:21I saw Shawn Michaels and Chris Jericho.
08:28I even saw the great Triple H and John Cena.
08:37And then I got to thinking about you.
08:39You know why, Kurt?
08:40Because I realized that not only had you torn the house down with all those WWE superstars, but you defeated
08:49them all as well.
08:52And that's when I came to realize that maybe Jeff Jarrett was wrong about you and wrong about me.
08:59Because I'm not the greatest acquisition in TNA history, Kurt.
09:04You are.
09:10Not only that, Kurt.
09:11I think you may be the greatest performer in the history of this business.
09:18Come on.
09:21But here's the thing.
09:22Here's the thing.
09:23I think you are, but I don't know.
09:26And there's only one way I can know.
09:29And that's at bound for glory.
09:32I need to be that close once again.
09:35That close to the action to see for sure if you are the greatest acquisition and the greatest performer in
09:42the history of this sport.
09:47So you want to commentate?
09:49You want to take Don West place?
09:51Go ahead.
09:52He's replaceable.
09:53You can watch it right from there.
09:55As a matter of fact, Kurt, I did not come to TNA to take Don West place.
10:04Even though he can be a little overbearing at times, but always passionate.
10:10No, Kurt.
10:11If I'm going to figure out whether or not you're the greatest of all time, I need to be a
10:16little bit closer than that.
10:17I need to be right next to the action.
10:24You hearing me?
10:30All right.
10:31I get it.
10:32You want to be in my corner at bound for glory, right?
10:37No, no, no.
10:39I don't want to be in your corner.
10:40You see, at bound for glory in Chicago, for one night only, the powers that be have granted me the
10:48opportunity to be the special enforcer in your match with Jeff Jarrett.
11:09It's true.
11:11It's true.
11:11It's damn true.
11:13Did you hear that?
11:15Bound for glory.
11:17TNA's biggest pay-per-view ever just got even bigger with the news that Mick Foley will be the special
11:24special enforcer for Jeff Jarrett.
11:27When Jarrett returns to the ring after a two-year absence to face Kurt Angle.
11:33I'll see you in Chicago.
11:37Let me tell you this, ladies and gentlemen.
11:40Mick Foley means one thing.
11:43Law and order.
11:44Law and order will prevail in Chicago.
11:46Amen.
