We’re live from the General Motors Centre in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. Mike Tenay gives us the formal welcome to TNA’s first ever international pay-per-view.

Sting’s music and entrance video starts after Tenay & West finish with the formal introduction. Sting makes his way down the entrance ramp. The fans chant ‘TNA’ as the lights are out and Sting is in the ring with the microphone. Sting says before he gets to the state of pro wrestling that he can’t say how good it feels to be back in Canada. Sting pauses for ‘you’re a legend’ chants. He tries to speak but the chants overpower his voice. Sting thanks the fans in attendance. He says that he has finalized contract negotiations so at next month’s Bound For Glory pay-per-view that he will face the winner of tonight’s Four Ways to Glory match for the TNA Championship. He says now he wants to talk about the issues that he knows people wish that he would just shut up about. He says he can’t… he pauses and says that tonight you’re going to see some of the best talent in the world today. Sting says that just because you have talent doesn’t mean that you are the best at the game or the best at life. He says that as a good friend once told him you got to walk the walk if you’re going to talk the talk. He harps on respect.

Sting says there are some true men in TNA but there are also some snotty nose little brats. He says he took his cause to Canada because 10 years ago someone fought for the same cause that he did. He said one of the greatest legends of all time… Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart. Sting says that he is going to take where Bret left off. He says that he will not retire until guys like Joe and AJ know what respect is all about.
