Backstage, William Patrick Corgan discusses the Race to the Chase. When asked about the thought process behind it, he says he has to deal with backstage politics constantly. With this in mind, he wanted the wrestlers to prove themselves in the ring. He also says that he reserves the right to dismiss a #1 contendership at any time. Corgan recalls how Matt Cardona told him that he wasn’t ready to compete, as he went back and forth about his status. He notes that he had to promise things to the Cardona Family, and he acknowledges that there are extenuating circumstances. Corgan says NWA is doing the best it can, and it has more momentum than it has had in 30 years. He makes it clear that he stands behind what he promised the Cardonas, and he doesn’t care what anyone thinks about it.
Backstage, Odinson is standing by with Colby Corino. When asked whether he thinks he has a chance against Tyrus, Odinson says he thinks he has more than one chance to beat him. As for his own problem with Kerry Morton, Corino says the interviewer should ask Kerry why he’s obsessed with him.
