This has Shane McMahon, AJ Styles, and Kurt Angle - so two of the best of all-time alongside Shane, who has in fact worked with them in memorable matches. They start off talking about Shane getting winded at WM against AJ before Kurt talks about his great matches with AJ in TNA. In a still-surreal bit, we get clips of Hard Justice 2008 with GWN graphics on it and that horrible forced 16:9 cropping.
Shane talks about AJ working stiff before Kurt buries him for slicing him open on a jab at KOTR '01. That was a truly insane match. We get more clips of TNA with them talking about Kurt taking a suplex on the stage before going through how insane Shane vs. Kurt was, and we see Shane take that nasty belly to belly bump off the glass to the floor. Then he suplexes him through the glass, goes to the other side, does it again - but the glass doesn't break and Shane just thuds again. Goddamn this match had to take years off his life before Shane just gets chucked through it.
Shane talks about that match being a great achievement for him. They got a big ovation from the boys and then he saw his wife in tears. Vince apparently almost stopped it three times. Kurt says they aren't young anymore and wonders what they do to train. Shane says he chases his kids. AJ says he's learned what his body can and can't do and we get clips of him with DDP Yoga. Kurt says he's doing yoga and stretching now and it's the only thing that works for him now. AJ says he loves burpees and Shane buries him for not lifting weights.
AJ says he's never seek Kurt blow up ever and he always wore him down. Kurt says AJ isn't the only one who complained about him being too intense. Everyone compares kid stories, and Kurt has a 15 year old and it scares him because he'll be 70 when his 1 year old graduates high school. AJ loves having a daughter now and how they make you think before they do something and point out how stupid you are. Shane says he came back in part for his kids to see him live and then Vince called him. Shane says that 10 minutes before his return match at Mania, he told his kids to come out with him and how they just started doing his dane and stealing the show.
Kurt calls AJ the best in the world right now and Shane agrees. AJ gives credit to Kurt for making him better. He enjoys finding new ways to still be great even with father time working against him a bit now. Kurt says AJ is teachable and a lot of people aren't - he's open to learning what can make him better. AJ credits Kurt for being the same way and Kurt says he was wrestling main events within his second month. Kurt first took a bump in November '98, debuted in October (actually November, but his vignettes were October) and won the title by October of '00.
Kurt says he had no idea what he was doing as champion. Kurt says that he was beloved in Pittsburgh and he probably wouldn't get booed - so then they booed him. Kurt says that night was a big key to his character becoming what it did. Kurt says he preferred to work heel and likes making an ass out of himself. AJ says now he prefers being a babyface - and with him being a fighting underdog character, it's better for him throughout his career. Shane says he likes being an instigator more so he prefers being a heel. AJ thanks them both for great experiences over the years and Shane teases a triple threat. AJ says they'll just toss him around.
