– JB pumped up the crowd and said TNA cameras were rolling here tonight.

2. MATCH: “the Tennessee Cowboy” James Storm w/ “the Pride of Tennessee” Jackie Moore Vs. “Showtime” Eric Young
– EY came to the ring sporting a Canadian Flag cape. Midway through his run across the ring, to clap the fans’ hands, he stopped, out of breath. (LOL)
– The match was slow to start, a lot of comedy act in the first few minutes.
– Storm hit Young with a beautiful Enziguri while on the apron (and Young inside of the ring)
– Young won with a Small Package.
– After the match, Eric Young invited Storm for an aftermatch beer. Storm accepted and they drank together without any fuss.

3. MATCH: Jimmy Rave Vs. “the Guru” Sonjay Dutt
– Good quick match that ended when Dutt missed a Top Rope Moonsault, landed on his feet, and followed up immediately with a Moonsault on Rave who had rolled away from the first attempt at the maneuver.

4. KNOCKOUTS TAG MATCH: Awesome Kong & “the Pride of Tennessee” Jackie Moore Vs. TNA Knockouts Champion Gail Kim & Ms. Brooks

5. X-DIVISION TITLE MATCH: Johnny Devine Vs. “Black Machismo” Jay Lethal
– Devine cut a promo, speaking in french and insulting the french people.

6. MATCH: Robert Roode w/ Ms. Brooks Vs. “the Samoan Submission Machine” Samoa Joe

9. TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: LAX (Hernandez & Homicide) Vs. Tomko & AJ Styles (c)
– Editor’s Note: Best match of the night.
– Editor’s Note: AJ received a great ovation, right up there with Joe’s. And Tomko received maybe the best ovation of his life as well!
– AJ had no belt. They cut a promo on how AJ had forgotten the belt, but AJ said it was in a safe place. Homicide got in three “cheap” punches while AJ was still holding the mic, and then he asked, after the third one, for the ref to start the match.
– The match spilled to the outside and Homicide & AJ came brawling into the crowd. (Editor’s Note: Right next to me)
– Tomko & AJ picked up the win and AJ left with Tomko’s belt.

– Cage said that nobody here cares about him and stupid Olympic Gold Medals he won in the United States.
– Cage told Angle “If you want to impress these people, try and win the Stanley Cup”
– Crowd chanted “GO HABS GO! GO HABS GO!”
– The match was going along just fine until Hebner got knocked down and was holding his ankle.
– Cage hit the Frogsplash but Hebner took too much time getting the cover in.
– Hebner was knocked down by Angle.
