TNA Hard Justice: Booker T & Scott Steiner Vs. Team 3D
Jeremy Borash Interviews Kurt Angle & Matt Morgan
JB is racing up behind Angle backstage. JB asks where he's going. Angle said he's going into Morgan's locker room. Angle busts into Morgan's dressing room and Morgan yells at him for not knocking. Angle said he apologizes for some of the things he said last week. He asks Morgan if the Main Event Mafia is what he wants. Morgan says he went on national TV and told the world he wanted in. Morgan said it was Angle's decision to make him jump through hoops. He said this is all Angle's fault. Angle says he can't change the past but he can change Morgan's future. Angle said there's a contract waiting for him in the Main Event Mafia and he's only gotta do one last thing. He says he don't have to lay down for him tonight or anything, just work along with Angle tonight. As long as either guy walks out of the match with the title, the Main Event Mafia wins. Morgan makes Angle repeat the sentence where he said as long as either guy walks out with the title. Angle looks happy they made an agreement while Morgan walks off, seemingly not caring at all.
