“The Icon” Sting is here, and looking dressed up. He talks about being put into the Hall of Fame, and what an honor it was. Sting introduces the newest member of the TNA Hall of Fame…Kurt Angle. Kurt thanks the fans and Sting for the welcome. Sting gives him a box with a watch in it, and they mark the official induction of Kurt Angle into the Hall of Fame.
Kurt takes a moment and says the truth is, he has let himself and his family down, by not living up to his potential. He says he hasn’t lived up to the standard that Sting has set, and he refuses induction into the Hall of Fame here tonight. Kurt hugs Sting and tells the crowd he’ll set a new standard, and he will join Sting in the Hall of Fame when he feels he does deserve it.
