00:00Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to tonight's official debate.
00:04I'm Gia Miller and I will be moderating the exchange between Director of Authorities Santino
00:10Morella, accompanied by Ariana Grace, and Robert Stone, accompanied by his Deputy Director
00:26of Operations, Victoria Crawford.
00:32Each participant will have two minutes for opening remarks, followed by closing statements.
00:40Mr. Morella, the floor is yours, your time starts now.
00:45Thank you, Your Honor.
00:46I'm not a judge.
00:49I'd like to address the jury here tonight.
00:52You see, two years and four months ago, I come here to TNA.
00:58And let's just say that business was not quite as robust as it is right now.
01:10And I was stepping outside my comfort zone, you know, this was a new thing for me.
01:13Nobody in my family before had a position of political power.
01:18And I came here with an open mind and I thought to myself, I said, if you have the integrity,
01:23and you help people that do the right thing, and for the love of competition, for the love
01:27of showmanship, that I can have an impact and put my finger on the pulse and get a little
01:33taste of the business.
01:36Everybody loves a little taste of the business.
01:40And it's not a joke.
01:41One minute.
01:42One minute remaining.
01:43One minute.
01:44One minute remaining.
01:45And now you come in here with your shenanigans and you're trying some funky business, huh?
01:52Look, that Morella name is not a name that's going to be pushed around by you, Mr. Rubberstone.
02:03Thank you, Mr. Morella.
02:05Mr. Stone, your time starts now.
02:10Hey, Santino, first let me just say, everything you just said, that was very cute.
02:20I appreciate it.
02:22And if I could say something to everyone here in this arena.
02:29I need you to listen to every word that I'm about to say.
02:47Santino Morella has done absolutely nothing to make TNA a better place.
03:06If you people don't shut up, I'm not going to do this.
03:10One minute, one minute.
03:11Do you tell them?
03:12One minute remaining.
03:13Listen.
03:14You, you're a joke, okay?
03:17You've always been a joke and you always will be a joke.
03:26You do not deserve to be in a position of power in TNA wrestling.
03:36You don't deserve to be in the wrestling business.
03:46Thank you, Mr. Stone.
03:47You know what?
03:48I'm not done yet.
03:53I'm going to start off with my final statement.
03:59It isn't about Robert Stone versus Santino.
04:01It's bigger.
04:02It's about making TNA wrestling a better place.
04:06Look at me when I'm talking to you.
04:11Because when I'm in charge of TNA, I'm going to fire all the losers.
04:20I'm going to create real superstars.
04:27And I'm going to do something that this company desperately needs.
04:32I'm going to make everybody a lot of money.
04:39And if you have control or continue to have control, you're going to keep running it to the ground.
04:52Mr. Stone, that does count as your final remark.
04:56Santino, your rebuttal.
05:14I thank you from the bottom of my heart, you guys.
05:16I'm going to get to that in a second.
05:18Let me tell you one thing, okay?
05:22You're stupid.
05:25Okay?
05:26I'm pretty proud of what we've done here in the last two and a half years.
05:31TNA is rising to the top!
05:36Let me contain myself. I apologize, Your Honor.
05:39Let me contain myself for a moment, okay?
05:41You may have the fancy clothes.
05:44And you have a nice sense of style.
05:46Maybe you have a sense of business.
05:48Maybe you have a sense of financial something or other.
05:50But you know what I have a sense of?
05:52What the people want.
05:56Maybe you don't know this.
05:58But quite some time ago, I came from the people.
06:02I am the people.
06:04The people here, this is my extension family.
06:09So all this fancy lingo and education that you have,
06:13it doesn't match up with the heart and the soul and the grit that we have
06:19and all the people have here.
06:21You can't take that away!
06:25This is family for me.
06:27These people here are family for me.
06:29And guess what we do?
06:31You, like all family, we stick together and we fight together!
06:43For one second!
06:45Oh my god!
06:46That's Tessa Blanchard attacking Ariana Grace!
06:49And now Stone just cracked Marella!
06:51What the hell is happening?
06:52Oh my god!
06:53Good reward!
06:54Tessa Blanchard putting her hands on Gia Miller!
06:57Blanchard attacking Ariana Grace, her under siege opponent!
07:02We saw her last week try to smack the tar out of Ariana Grace,
07:06taking it to another level here!
07:08Wait a minute!
07:09There's Masha Slamovich!
07:10The Knockouts World Champion!
07:12Victoria Crawford going after Slamovich before under siege!
07:16And Tessa attacks Masha!
07:18What the hell is going on here?
07:20This is completely broken down into madness!
07:27Whoa!
07:28Ariana!
07:29Are you kidding me?
07:31Beep!
07:33No!
07:34Oh!
07:35Awake teamwork here!
07:40Blanchard sent her to the table!
07:45Come on, come on!
07:46Come on, come on, come on!
07:48Come on, come on!
07:49Come on!
07:50Come on, come on, come on, come on!
07:53.
07:54Slamovich isn't done with Blanchard!
07:59Blanchard, Slamovich driving Blanchard into the table.
08:07A message sent before under siege.
08:13TNA Wrestling standing defiant in
08:20the face of Robert Stone and Victoria Crawford.
08:29Absolute Bedlam ahead of Under Siege.
08:36Will Robert Stone take control?
08:39Can Ariana Grace defeat Tessa Blanchard?
08:42Can Slamovich retain her title against Crawford at Under Siege?
