TNA Bound For Glory - Backstage Segments & Matt Morgan Vs. Kurt Angle
Backstage:
JB is backstage with Kurt Angle. He says things haven't gone the way MEM wanted, but Angle is calm. Angle says to step into the ring with him, you have to be at a certain level. Angle says he had Styles beat three days ago, and the next time, it will be for the title and there won't be a time limit, but before he can do that, he has to get through Morgan. Angle sees Morgan as a disrespectful punk and tonight, Angle is going to teach him that respect is damn real.
