Report by Richard Trionfo, PWInsider
We are live on tape from Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida and your announcers are Don ‘Jason Maier is watching the Stanley Cup Finals tonight’ West and Mike ‘Isn’t that game on tomorrow night?’ Tenay.

Mick tells Jeff that some hard decisions had to be made and when you have something to say, you say it face to face. Mick wants Jeff Jarrett to come to the ring with a mic for a hard decision.
Jeff Jarrett comes to the ring. Mick tells Jeff that he wears Jeff’s t-shirt as a sign of respect for what he did and it makes his decision so much tougher. Mick says that he tried to look past Jeff’s words and actions, but then Jeff assaulted a referee and senior citizen in Earl Hebner. Mick says that cannot stand.
