Konnan is interviewed by Mike Tenay about his upcoming match with Raven and Jarrett. He tells Tenay that he's sick of seeing the best of wrestling like Sonny Siaki treated like a nothing champion.

He's just as bad as Jarrett and the suits counting their money with their feet propped up on the backs of the working class warriors such as himself.
