Harris: (Pulls the mic to his mouth) Let me make one thing perfectly clear right now for you Borash... I was screwed out of that match, by Kurt's bitch Karen! And when I get my way with Cornette I can promise the fans one thing, and that is that Karen will not be at ringside at Bound for Glory.
JB: Well I am guessing that is not your main focus tonight?
Harris: Of course not! My main focus is on Kaz tonight. I have a re-match against him tonight, because I guess he thought I got lucky last week during the fight for the right match, but let me make it perfectly clear Kaz... Luck has nothing to do with it!
Suddenly Kaz walks into the picture and stares Harris down for a second before grabbing the mic from JB.
Kaz: (Laughs in Harris' face) Is that some kind of joke? Luck had everything to do with you winning your match last week and I am going to make dam sure that I prove it to you tonight in our match.
Harris: (Rips the mic out of Kaz's hand and gets right in his face) Bring it!
Harris throws the mic hard to the ground and begins to head to his locker room as Kaz shakes his head.

Rhino: Well JB, Morgan is going to learn one thing about me in the coming weeks... and that is that I don't like people trying to pick fights with me at every show. I mean can't he calm down and at least wait till Bound for Glory instead of letting me beat him week in and week out?
JB: Rhino, tonight you face him, but you are in a six man tag team match with him in it. What are your comments on that?
Rhino: As far as Morgan is concerned he better keep his ass on the apron and not try to interfere or I will have to lay him out with a... Gore, Gore, Go...

Mike Tenay: And his opponent at Bound for Glory, The World Champion... Kurt Angle!
Angle steps into the ring and takes his seat.
Cornette: Ok then lets get this over with. I know Harris has a match tonight and I have lots of work to attend to so if you would each sign your names at the end of the contract that would be great.
Harris signs the contract and pushes it towards Angle who looks over it for a couple seconds before signing it. Harris and Angle then stand up and begin a staredown.
Cornette: (Rises the contract in the air) The contract has been signed. Now are there any last words gentlemen.
Harris: (Takes the mic from Cornette and backs up a little) I have been waiting forever for a World Title match that wasn't with 6 other men in the ring. So Angle you can bet I am going to come out running on all cylinders and looking for that World Title.
Angle: (Harris passes the mic over to Angle) Harris I don't think running on all cylinders is going to work because I have faced a pissed of Abyss, the old great Icon Sting, the Samoan Submission Machine Samoa Joe. So if you think for one second a Wildcat will beat me... think again.
