They go to highlights of the 2007 Angle Family Thanksgiving. Here is Richard Trionfo's complete, original coverage:
We start off with the first of what will probably be many visits to the Angle Thanksgiving Feast. We see a turkey with a gold medal as well as a photo of Kurt Angle. Kurt and his wife Karen are dressed in traditional pilgrim garb while they are joined by their guests: Tomko, A.J. Styles, and Jeremy Borash. Angle thanks his wife for the setup. We see the placemats, which are two Kurt Angle promo photos put together. We also see a place set for Christian Cage. Kurt wants everyone to pray before eating. Tomko is asked to take his hat off and he wonders why Karen doesn’t have to take hers off. Angle prays, and during the prayer we see Angle’s daughter, who he calls a brat at times. We see Karen and Jeremy making faces at each other during the prayer. Kurt is also thankful that Pacman Jones is not with them. Kurt is also thankful that the TNA writers are not on strike. Kurt also prays that God will be on their team at Turning Point when they face “Fat Joe and the Over the Hillers.” A.J. wants Angle to save one of the legs for Christian when he shows up.
We return to a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving starring Kurt Angle. Kurt comments on the way the food tastes. There is a knock on the door and he invites his guests to enter, and it is Robert Roode and Traci Brooks. Roode yells at Traci for trying to sit in his chair. There is another knock on the door as the next guests arrive, and it is James Storm with beer and Jackie Moore. A.J. makes sure that Storm doesn’t sit in Christian’s seat. The next guest arrives and it is Chris Harris. Chris complains about the directions and he wonders if Kurt’s daughter wrote them. Chris wants to know what Roode is doing here. Harris sits down because he says that this is the only way that he is going to get some TV time. The next guest arrives and it is Eric Young. Kurt wants to know why Eric is there and he says that he was invited, but Karen says that she did not invite him. Kurt says that Jeremy invited him and Kurt tells Eric to sit at the children’s table.
We go to the back for more Turkey Talk starring Kurt Angle and his wife Karen. The next guests arrive and it is Shark Boy with his Iron Mike Sharpe–model neck brace, Petey Williams, and Sonjay Dutt to represent the X Division. Sonjay gives a flower to Karen and then he wonders how everyone can eat when there are starving children around the world. Sonjay asks for donations and Jeremy puts some turkey in the tambourine while Angle spits out his food into the tambourine. Storm wants to finish his contest with Eric Young and A.J. says that he needs to leave for his match. Kurt says that he feels sick. We go to commercial.
We return to A Very 90210 Thanksgiving starring Kurt and Karen Angle. Storm and Young are still drinking beer and the guests are still arriving. We see Black Reign and Rellik enter the festival hall. Black Reign has brought his own rat with him. Black Reign puts the rat on the table and Jeremy and Karen jump away from the table. Eric Young thinks that it is a cat but Roode tells him otherwise. Angle looks a bit squeamish as we go to commercial.
We are back and it is time for more Total Nonstop Angle: The Thanksgiving Edition. Young is now wearing Black Reign’s wig and the newest guests have arrived: Jay Lethal. Lethal wants to know where Okerlund and Heenan are. So Cal Val comes in after Lethal and Lethal shows that chivalry is not dead.
We return to As the Angles Turn, already in progress. Angle says that he wants to restore some order. Angle asks Borash if he has a turkey baster in his pants or if he is happy to see him. Borash hesitates as the guests are slightly shocked to see Borash pull a turkey baster out of his pants. Angle uses the baster to get some gravy as there is a loud knock at the door. Awesome Kong enters and Lethal says that he did not know that Kamala was coming. We go to commercial.
Time for more Pilgrim’s Progress 2007 with Kurt and Karen. There is a knock on the door and Team 3D arrives. Team 3D has some food thrown at them. Ray wants to know what is going on since he was invited by Kurt. Everyone starts to leave. Kurt wants to know who invited them and Ray says that he got an invitation. Kurt tells them to eat what is left. They sit with Kurt’s daughter and Kurt tells her that they won’t eat her. Ray wants to know how she is doing and she says that they suck.
As they pick up A.J. Styles to put on the turkey suit… we have to go to This Angle House: Turkey Time.
Angle says that nobody associated with him is going to be made to look like a turkey. Angle tells Tomko that it is time to go out the back. While they leave, we see Awesome Kong partake of some of the food.
We return to the ring and the referees try to get A.J. to put on the turkey suit, but A.J. refuses.
We are back to Kurt and Karen’s Thanksgiving Spectacular featuring Herman Menderchuk and Karen is showing everyone her pair of pies as Kevin Nash and Scott Hall enter the banquet room. Nash takes one pie and Hall takes the other and they both give them back to Karen in her face. Jay Lethal announces that there is going to be a food fight. There is pandemonium in the room while Kong continues to eat.
We go to the Impact Zone where Jim Cornette is on the mic and he is telling A.J. Styles that he has been the biggest turkey in TNA for a long time and he is going to prove it. Cornette tells Styles that he is not going to cheat the fans out of seeing what they deserve to see. Cornette tells Styles that he is going to gobble up his guts if he doesn’t put that suit on. A.J. begs for mercy but Cornette will hear none of that because he has left the ringside area. A.J. starts to put on the turkey suit. Cornette threatens to fire Styles if he does not put the turkey suit on.
Styles finally puts on the suit and Kurt Angle and Tomko come to the ring. Angle says that he has never been so humiliated in his life. Angle lets Styles know how humiliated he is to be standing next to a turkey. Styles tells Angle that Kurt doesn’t look like an Olympic Gold Medalist, but he looks like a pilgrim. Angle says that there is a big difference between a pilgrim and a turkey.
Samoa Joe’s music plays and he comes out with Kevin Nash and Scott Hall. Joe tells everyone that whether it be a pilgrim or a turkey, they look like three jackasses to them. Angle says that he would rather be a jackass than a Samoan. Joe says that before the Kurt Angle Comedy Hour bombs some more, Joe suggests that they kick some ass. All six men battle with Tomko and Styles being thrown from the ring. Eric Young comes to the ring with a turkey leg while Hall holds Angle. Joe puts the turkey leg in Angle’s mouth as we go to credits.
