We start off a look back at the problems between Abyss and Mick Foley after their apparent mixture of the past and present with the masked and flannel gimmicks.

We are live on tape from Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida and your announcers are Mike ‘Harry Potter Land is coming’ Tenay and Taz.

Abyss is in the ring and he has some barbed wire and he wraps it around the ropes. Abyss is a bit winded and he drops some glass on the mat. He says that he is making himself feel at home in the Impact Zone. Abyss says that he brought a few little friends from home. Those friends are thumbtacks. Abyss says that he wants to feel comfortable. Mick has wrestled all over this planet and entertained fans in every state and bled on every continent on this planet. Abyss tells Mick that he has never bled like Abyss is going to make him bleed at Bound for Glory. Abyss tells Mick that he is here to challenge Foley to a match at Bound for Glory. He says that it will not be any match, it will be the hardcore wrestling signature match, Monster’s Ball. He says that Mick will not have a very nice day at Bound For Glory because he is going to beat Mick’s ass.

Mick’s music plays and he comes out and he has a barbed wire baseball bat and a mic. Mick wants to make sure that he heard Abyss’ challenge. Abyss interrupts Mick and brings up Mick’s comments about being a cheap facsimile and knockoff. Abyss asks Mick if it was a cheap carbon copy and knockoff when he main evented the first Lockdown against A.J. Styles. Was he a cheap knockoff in 2005 when he competed with Sabu in the first barbed wire massacre match? Was he a cheap knockoff in 2007 when he defeated Sting to be the TNA champion. He says that it was Abyss and while he was spilling his blood, he wonders what Foley was doing. Abyss says that Foley was writing children’s books and playing with sock puppets. Abyss says that there is a big difference between the two of the them, Abyss says that he is hardcore while Mick used to be. Abyss tells Mick that he is the cheap knockoff. He tells Mick that Mick is only half the man he used to be.

Mick says that he is going to tweak Monster’s Ball a bit. Mick says that Abyss might be too reliant on a few inanimate objects, so Abyss cannot use thumbtacks. There is going to be a special guest referee. Abyss says that the guest referee is going to be Dr. Stevie.

Speak of the doctor, he comes out with Daffney and he gets on the mic. He tells Chris that he has done it once again. He has managed to alienate everyone once again.
