-JB introduces Kurt Angle, who comes out to the ring – walking, on his own, with no assistance, about a month after surgery. He says when you’re a member of the Hall of Fame, you’ve reached a level of greatness that is respected by everyone in the back, and all of the fans. He thanks the fans for their respect and love – they started a “thank you Kurt” chant and he says “I’m not retired yet!” He announces the 2014 TNA Hall of Fame inductee…s! Team 3D! Bully Ray and D-Von come out together, hug Angle, and they all celebrate together. The crowd does a long “we want tables” chant and makes it impossible for Bully to say anything. He finally says that was the best chant they’ve heard in a long time, and thanks the fans. D-Von says he left TNA and vowed not to come back because he was done for good, but then got the call to be a member of the Hall of Fame. He says if they’re gonna go out, they want to go out in a blaze of glory. “Oh my brother, testify!”
-Ethan Carter III is backstage. He says the first big thing he ever did was beat Sting, the first ever Hall of Famer, becoming an “Icon”. Then he beat the second Hall of Famer, Kurt Angle, becoming an “American hero”. Now he’s going to beat Bully Ray, becoming a “Hardcore American Icon”. He says Dallas is known as Von Erich country, but now it’s Carter country, and he’s going to win this match for all the Carters back at home.
