Hannifan asks Ali about why he chose to have an issue with Santana upon returning to TNA. Ali says it isn’t about having an issue with Santana. He’s here to be the leader TNA needs and he can handle the pressure. He says Mr. Santana can’t handle the pressure.
Santana says he is baffled that Ali says something like he can’t handle pressure. He goes on about his rough past and all that he’s overcome. He says he’s had nothing but pressure since joining TNA and he says he felt plenty of pressure taking out The System by himself. He says he also felt a lot of pressure at TNA Genesis when he faced one of the toughest men of his career and made him say “I Quit.”
Hannifan points out to Ali that no one has defeated Santana in a singles match in over six months.
Ali says that’s a good point, but then tells Santana what he described is not pressure. Ali says that pressure is failing and dusting yourself off and coming back to take over. He says Santana isn’t a leader, he’s an addict.
Santana says “you’re full of it.” Santana says no one thinks he’s really here for the betterment of TNA. He says even his people standing behind him sees it. He says he accepted the reality that he’s an addict a long time ago, but today, he’s an addict for these people, for this company and for the people in it. He says for every addict out there, he’s shown them it’s possible to hit the bottom and rise.
Ali says he feels more tension here and everyone needs to calm down. He picks up a bottle of wine and says maybe take a drink. Santana didn’t like that. Ali says at TNA Sacrifice, Sanatna will lose. He says he’s gonna pray for mercy, and then he’s gonna take one sip and finish the bottle and another one and another one and then he’s gonna let everyone he just mentioned down, including himself. But worse, he’s gonna break his daughters heart.
Santana launched across the table and attacked him. He attacked Great Hands and Steelz. He restrained himself and ended up getting jumped by Ali and The Great Hands. Santana is lying on the ground and Ali yells enough. Ali then opens the wine and pours a glass. He sits it next to Santana and tells him, That’s for when you wake up. He walks off. Santana comes to and sees the drink and is not happy at all.
