TNA Against All Odds: Mick Foley Vs. Abyss

Backstage:

Bischoff is backstage with Abyss and Mick Foley. Bischoff says he hopes both men understand, but running a wrestling company is tough. He's responsible to put on the best card he can, and he needs to ensure no games. He tells Foley and Abyss to go at it like it's their last match, because if he suggests any kind of gamesmanship, Abyss will lose his mask. Foley says that's not going to be a problem, but how do he and Abyss know Bischoff isn't going to be unfair when it comes to their match. Bischoff says that it will be a No DQ match, and he wants to give the fans an opportunity to watch each man beat each other. He says if no one uses a barbed wire bat, Abyss' mask will be gone.
