– 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.

– 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)
