"It ain't about disrespect, it's about guys like you"

Jeff Jarrett: "You know, after watching things go on in the last few weeks, I felt like I was left with no choice but to come out here tonight and adress a few things. But before I do, I'm gonna say something tonight that I've never said before. You know, six years ago, when you first saw Jeff Jarrett in TNA Wrestling, you weren't watching just Jeff, the wrestler. You were watching Jeff Jarrett, the founder of TNA Wrestling.

You know, when WCW went out of business, I had a vision. I had a vision for a wrestling organization to be created to give young hopefuls their big break. I started in this business when I was 16. And I know better than anybody how tough it is to get a break in this business. I wanted TNA to be the place for the guys that DESERVED the big break their big break. Well, a big thank goes to the good Lord, my precious wife Jill, a great financial partner and millions of fans around the world: Here we are, six years later, and I wanna thank each and every one of you [zeigt in die Kamera] and each and every one of you [zeigt ins Publikum] from the bottom of my heart. ['Thank you, Jeff!'-Chants] No... unfortunately lately, though, there's something been going on that I just can't ignore. And with that being said: Sting, I know you're in the back listening. I don't wanna talk to you back to back, I wanna talk to you face to face, man to man. So I would appreciate if you would come out to the ring - now.

[Stings Musik ertönt und er kommt zum Ring]

You know, Sting, we've been in this game a long time. Truth to be known, my father is the one that gave YOU your first big break in this business. And he's very proud of it. He is the one who extended the olive branch to you just like I'm trying to do to others in the back. You know, Sting, I've been watching your actions over the past few months. And more importantly: I've been listening to what you had to say. And I just got one thing to say: You are so full of crap. Sting, it's a smoke-screen. You're trying to get on your platform, you're trying to get on your high horse and say it's about disrespect, that the young guys are disrespecting the veterans?

Sting, I had a dream. That dream became a reality. And that reality has become a phenomenon overnight because of young guys like AJ Styles and Samoa Joe. Stinger, you may not know this, but there are times in this company's history that gyus like Joe, that guys like AJ have literally, LITERALLY carried this company on their backs. And every step of the way - HOLD ON - every step of the way, they showed me the utmost respect - just like I showed them. Just like *I* showed THEM. Sting, this ain't about disrespect. You know what? Let's talk about what it really is. Let's pull the curtain back about what this real platform is. Stinger, I was there. Deja vu all over again: WCW. We worked in the same organization when that multi-million dollar organization went out of business because the veterans wouldn't pass the torch to the young guys. You know why? You know why? Because they wanted to hold on to their spot. They wanted to hold on to their position. They wanted to hold on to their stinkin' fat paycheck.

This ain't about disrespect. It's about 20 or 30 guys in that dressing-room - not a one of them, not a single one of them - a day over 30 years old. You know what? They're nippin' at your heels night in and night out. That's what it's about. It ain't about disrespect, it's about guys like you. And I can't believe I'm even putting you in the same breath as Booker T an Kurt Angle - but by God, I am. Because all that you three guys wanna do is take, take, take - and not give, give, give. Stinger, I got a newsflash for you and I want you to listen up real good: This ain't WCW. It's T-N-A! And I'm not gonna stand for it."

[Es ertönt die Musik von Kurt Angle, der zum Ring kommt.]

Kurt Angle: "Let me get something straight: This is a shoot here, I'm talking straight-up. You're gonna have a face-to-face with Sting, but you're gonna talk about me behind my back. Explain to me Jeff: After what you did to me at No Surrender. [Deutet auf eine Wunde auf seinem Kopf von einem Gitarrenschlag] This is what you did."

Jarrett: "You know Kurt, I didn't think I was gonna get this opportunity to do this tonight, but you know what? Let me get something off my chest that I've been wanting to say for quite some time. Kurt, you know the story better than anybody. About two years ago, I had to step away because of personal family health issues. And Kurt, I handpicked one guy to replace me. And that guy, I knew he had the same passion. The same work ethic. The same drive. The same mentality that I had about this business. Kurt, that one guy was you. Kurt, I hand-picked you to fill my shoes. And guess what: As the founder of TNA Wrestling, it's the worst decision I've ever made in my life. Hold on, Kurt, just hold on. Just look what happened in this entire process - and I'm ashamed of even saying it, but I'm going to. You've lost your family, you've lost your wife, you've lost your TNA Title. Kurt, you've even lost your precious gold medal. And you know what, Kurt? The only thing you have left to lose is your stinkin' dignity.

Angle: "Can I talk now? Is it my turn, BOSS? Two years ago you've left this business. And the only reason you left this business is because is because you were over the hill. Expired! Two years ago at Bound For Glory, Sting kicked your ass! Yeah, we all know about your personal issues, Jeff, we know. But when it comes down to it, you didn't have any more heart. So what did you do? You went out and found another talent. Someone to fill your shoes, that's right. And what you found was a younger, BETTER version of Jeff Jarrett. And that was Kurt Angle. And for two years, TWO stinking years, I've carried this company by myself. ALONE! Not Joe, not AJ, me! And you wanna talk about respect? Not ONCE did you thank me for saving your damn company. YOU and these fans are nothing but A***OLES! I'm an Olympic Gold Medalist for crying out loud! I get respect! I demand respect! You wanna trade words? I got a better idea, Jeff. Why don't we trade punches at Bound For Glory? How about that?"

Jarrett: "Kurt, I came out here tonight as the founder of TNA Wrestling. Not a wrestler. I have nothing left to prove." [Jarrett wendet sich ab und will gehen.]

Angle: "WHO-WHO, where are you going? Hang on there, buddy. I'm not done talking. Okay? You're not a wrestler? Then get the hellout of my ring and don't come back. This ring is for wrestlers. Not washed up has-beens like you, Jeff."

Jarrett: "Kurt, don't push me. I'm warning you: Don't push me. Because you don't want no part of this pain that I've been wearing for the last two years. But..."

[Jarrett deutet auf den Bildschirm, wo das Logo von Mick Foley und dann er selbst erscheint]

Mick Foley: "Hi Kurt. Kurt, Kurt hi. Remember me? Hello everybody there in the Impact Zone. Kurt, I think what Jeff is trying to say is: It's real. It's damn real. BANG BANG!"
