"I will make you pay and be the next World Heavyweight Champion"

Jeremy Borash: "Ladies and Gentlemen, it happens this sunday on Pay-per-view, the main event of 'Bound for Glory'. Tonight, in the presence of TNA president Dixie Carter -- we will make it official. Here to do that are the combatants, intruducing first of all the TNA World Heavyweight Champion Bully Ray.

[Bully Ray betritt von Brooke begleitet die Halle. Er posiert kurz mit dem Titel auf der Rampe und begibt sich dann in den Ring.]

And now let's introduce the challenger, the #1 contender for the World Heavyweight Championship, the 'phenomenal' AJ Styles.

[AJ kommt in die Halle und betritt den Ring, nachdem er sich kurz auf der Rampe feiern lässt.]

Gentlemen, it happens this sunday, the main event of 'Bound for Glory'. We need now -- to make it official, the World Heavyweight Champion will go first. Bully Ray, if you would please."

[Er deutet auf den bereitliegenden Vertrag. Bully Ray nimmt sich das Klemmbrett und unterschreibt und lässt sich anschließend das Mikrofon geben.]

Bully Ray: "I did not waste any time signing that contract, did I? I'm gonna make this real simple for you, redneck. You can't beat me.

[Er nimmt seine Mütze ab und setzt sie Brooke auf.]

You ain't got the brains in your head to beat me. You ain't got the passion in your heart to beat me. And you ain't got the thunder in your fist to beat me.

[JB will sich das Mikrofon wieder geben lassen.]

I'll give you the microphone when I'm done.

[JB geht einen Schritt zurück und lässt Bully Ray ausreden.]

Let me give you a little wrestling history lesson. In 1985, a man by the name of Ric Flair -- destroyed, mained and took out 'The American Dream' Dusty Rhodes. A month later, Dusty Rhodes returned and told the world how Ric Flair had put him on 'hard times'. How Ric Flair had put the wrestling industry on 'hard times'. How Ric Flair had put the wrestling fans on 'hard times'. How Ric Flair had put Dusty Rhodes' family on 'hard times'. Fast forward, almost 30 years later: Do you know who I am? I'm Bully Ray and for the past year and a half I have put the wrestling world on 'hard times'. I started off with Jeff Hardy inside a steel cage at 'Lockdown' and became the World Heavyweight Champion. I defeated Sting at 'Slammiversary' and made sure he could never have a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship again. I ran Chris Sabin back into your X-Division. And make no mistake, I'm the guy that ran Hulk Hogan outta here and put him on 'hard times'. What does this have to do with you? I can see the confusion in your eyes, kid. In 3 days, at 'Bound for Glory', when I defeat you -- I'm gonna put you on 'hard times'. I'm gonna put your fans on 'hard times'. But most of all, AJ, I'm gonna put you on such hard times, that I'm gonna send you home a defeated man with no contract, with no championship and when you get back to that trailerpark in Gainesville, Georgia I wouldn't be surprised if your wife and your 3 kids weren't there anymore.

[Die Crowd quittiert dies mit Buh-Rufen.]

I'm the 'Darth Vader' of the wrestling business. And you ain't no fricking 'Luke Skywalker'."

[Er gibt das Mikrofon mit Gewalt an AJ weiter. Die Crowd beginnt daraufhin dessen Namen zu chanten.]

AJ Styles: "You know, I can appreciate your little story, but let me remind you: You're no Ric Flair and I'm no Dusty Rhodes. That was in the past -- we're in the future, 'kid'. The fact that you think you can compare yourself to someone like Ric Flair just shows who you really are. Now it may be inappropriate -- I may regret it tomorrow, but let me tell these people who you are: You're no more than a big -- dumb -- bitch.

[Die Crowd stimmt jubelnd zu.]

And you have no idea, who you're getting in the ring with this sunday. I have everything to lose and everything to gain. I have to win this sunday.

[zeigt auf Dixie Carter.]

To make you beg,...

[zeigt auf Bully Ray.]

...to make you lose the World Heavyweight title and everything it means to you. I'm the most dangerous, the most intense and the most desperate man, you'll ever gonna get in the ring with. And I WILL -- beat you at 'Bound for Glory'...

[wieder zu Dixie.]

...and I WILL -- make you pay and be the next World Heavyweight Champion."

[AJ legt das Mikrofon weg und unterschreibt den Vertrag. JB gibt diesen an Dixie weiter.]


Bully Ray: "You know what Dixie, hold up a second! I'm taking it back. I'm not putting my world title on the line -- but what I am gonna do is cash in on that 50G's right now."

[Bully ray attackiert AJ und will ihn mit seiner Kette schlagen. AJ duckt sich weg und schlägt ihn mit dem Geldkoffer. Anschließend öffnet er den Koffer und schüttet das Geld über Dixie und ihren Securities aus. Während letztere das Geld aufheben, liefern sich Champion und Herausforderer noch ein hitziges Wortgefecht.]
