TNA Hardcore Justice: Mr. Anderson Vs. Bully Ray (Challenge Match)
Backstage:
JB is with Bully Ray. Bully Ray agrees with Mr. Anderson there's only room for one a-hole in Immortal. It's him. He said everyone makes mistakes, he made a mistake by carrying around 'that sack of crap' Devon around for all those years. He said JB's parents made a mistake when they decided to have him and Hogan and Bischoff made a mistake when they allowed Anderson in Immortal, and he's going to correct that when he beats Anderson down really bad right here and now, and the last face Anderson's going to see is his.
