They mentioned how he was preparing to Wrestle at TNA Slammiversary but couldn't due to Football commitments. They did mention the Pay Per View and how Frank Wycheck took his place. They also mentioned the other player at ringside with Jerry Lynn and Frank Wycheck. They didn't show footage of the match and didn't seem to take it that serious. They also mentioned Kevin Greene, Ron Simmons, and The Rock as Former football players who stepped into the ring.
