Nash says that there isn’t anyone out here who gives a damn about what he will or will not stand for. Rhino tells Nash to respect him since he is a veteran. Nash says that he will show respect to the people who show him respect and Christian did not show respect. Rhino says that they are a bunch who are afraid to lose their spot and their fat contracts. They are afraid to lose their job to a younger generation. He says that he sees a bunch of pu***** and he calls Booker the biggest one of them all.

Mick Foley is walking and we go to commercial.
We are back and Mick Foley comes to the ring to make a big announcement about Final Resolution. Mick says that he has always readily acknowledged that people like Booker T, Scott Steiner, Sting, Kevin Nash, and Kurt Angle have been a big part of the past of professional wrestling. It is a past that he proudly shares with them. He has even accepted that they are the current faces and stars of TNA today. Mick says that he usually does not agree with their point of view. Over the last few weeks, the nWo: The nExt Generation might be the greatest assemblage of wrestlers to ever set foot in the ring. That is why he made a major investment in the TNA originals. For the first time, he sees the possibility that Kurt Angle and the Gray Panthers are the future of TNA. Mick says that it was never his intention to play favorites. He tries to breath some life into the originals to get them things that were denied the younger generation. Mick says that Final Resolution could be their time for Final Restitution.
There will be two main events for Final Resolution. The first main event, Booker T, Kevin Nash, Scott Steiner, and Sting will face Samoa Joe, A.J. Styles, and two partners of their choice. This match will be a Foley Original because if Sting’s team wins, Sting will be the champion. If a member of A.J.’s team wins, A.J. will be the champion. The other main event will see Kurt Angle face Rhino.

Jeff says that he was coaxed into the ring once, and he will not sit back and watch Angle tear apart what he built from the ground up. Jarrett says that as bad as Angle wants him in the ring, Jarrett says that he wants Kurt out of the company. Jarrett says that he cannot fire Angle, but he can make him an offer that Kurt can’t refuse. Jarrett mentions Angle’s match with Rhino, but Jarrett suggests an added stipulation. If Angle wins at Final Resolution, Angle can face Jarrett; but if Rhino wins, Angle’s contract is null and void. Angle slaps Jarrett and then Jarrett points at Angle and Angle turns into a GORE. We go to credits.
