(After having lost to Val Venis again, Kurt Angle takes a mic.)

Kurt Angle:
That's it, I've had enough.  Mankind, ever since the Rumble, you've made me
lose my concentration, which has caused me to lose matches.  And all because
of your stupid mask, which you don't even need anyway.

So you know what, if you want your mask, why don't you come get it.  But on
one condition, we do things my way.  At No Way Out, we'll suspend your mask
above the ring, and we'll have ourselves a ladder match.  If you win, you get
your mask back and stay out of my face.  But if I win, I keep your mask, and
Mankind never shows his face in WWE ever again.

(The titan-tron suddenly sparks into life, and on it, Mankind can be seen down
in the dark corner of a boiler room.)

Mankind:
Kurt, I was hoping you would say something like that.  But you made one little
mistake, when you said I don't need the mask.  The mask is a part of me Kurt.
Without it, I'm that little bit sicker, that little bit more twisted, and that
little bit more determined to win.  So Kurt, I accept the challenge and I
accept your terms.  If you win, then Mankind is gone.  But if I win, Mankind
will be back, and I will be more dangerous than ever before.  Bring as many
ladders as you like Kurt, and I'll bring the pain.  Have a nice day!
