The show kicks off with The Main Event Mafia coming down to the ring to formally introduce Scott Steiner as their 5th member. Did someone not think to tell Steiner NOT to shoot on video games as the TNA game really needs support at the moment? Samoa Joe introduces Christian Cage as their latest member to the cause. Cage continues to sit on the fence.
6 Man Tag Match, Beer Money (with Jaqueline - is she pregnant with all these loose tops? Or are they just looking to move her into a Michelle Obama style role?) & Booker T vs The Motor City Machine Guns & Christian Cage. The Guns & Cage had a good match, Beer Money & Booker were just plain awful. Booker took the win after "hitting" Cage with the legends belt when Jaqueline distracted the ref. Awful finish.
4 Team Ladder Match (Winners get a shot at the tag title) - Tanahashi & Volador (who made their very good debuts last week and impressed me a lot but their doing really well considering their involved in a title shot match in only their 2nd match in TNA) vs Matt Morgan & Abyss vs Team 3D vs LAX. Not a bad match, LAX & Tanahashi were the best workers here. Abyss climbed the ladder to get the contract and the win for his team after Beer Money jumped Team 3D.
Mick Foley comes out to give his message to AJ Styles.
Knockouts Tag Match - Awesome Kong & Raisha Saeed vs Taylor Wilde & Rhaka Khan. This was supposed to be Roxxi partnering with Wilde but Kong & Saeed jumped her backstage. Wilde & Kong started this off with Wilde getting a very quick roll-up. Saeed came in and dominated but Wilde flubbed a backward leap off the middle rope into an armdrag, I'm guessing it was a move done on the fly that Saeed wasn't expecting so she didn't sell it. Saeed managed to flub a very basic elbowdrop (it looked seriously scrappy). The swerve of Khan chokeslamming Wilde was pretty unexpected, Kong took the win off Wilde with The Implant Buster.
6 Man Tag Match - Kurt Angle, Kevin Nash & Sting vs Eric Young, Consequences Creed & Jay Lethal. This is a bit silly because you've got 3 heavyweights versus 3 lightweights. Lethal & Angle kicked things off with Lethal showing his speed and agility. Lethal sold for Angle & was selling like crazy for Nash too. Young came in and had a nice offensive against everyone. Creed had a good run too until Angle hit the Olympic Slam to take the win.
Scott Steiner vs Samoa Joe. Steiner tried to jump Joe as he entered the ring but Joe owned Steiner from the get go. It took a low blow from Steiner to get back on top. Steiner totally didn't want any part of Joe's backsplash (you could see Steiner trying to push Joe away on the landing, totally no selling it for all he was worth) but this went to a really shitty finish with Nash distracting Joe (setting up for a nice suicide dive by Joe though) allowing Steiner to hit Joe with some brass knuckles (which Steiner totally flubbed the concealment of) letting Steiner take the win. Styles made the save on Joe when Nash gave him a post match beatdown.
