Bashir and Kiyoshi try a double team move, but Daniels hits a bulldog/ stunner combination. Suicide hits a big springboard crossbody.Suicide is attacked by Lethal Consequences and the Guns, taking him out of the match. Daniels hits a power move, but Shane Douglas comes in and hits Daniels with a chain. Bashir throws the ref in the ring as Kiyoshi gets the pinfall victory. It didn’t have the same pop as the opening match of weeks past, but still an ok match. 2.5 out of 5 stars.

Shane Douglas is in the middle of the ring and he says it isn’t personal, just business. He loves TNA, but he never got a second chance while Daniels did. He wants to know where is his second chance. He tells TNA management and he demands his second chance. He says that he will make Daniels’ life miserable until he gets it.

Amazing Red defeats Kiyoshi
This was a great match that really could have been on the pay per view. 3.5 out of 5 stars

Lethal Consequences and Eric Young defeat The Motor City Machine Guns and Sheik Abdul Bashir

Samoa Joe defeats Kevin Nash
This was an ok match that didn’t live up to the hype or the rest of the card. 2.5 out of 5 stars

Team 3D Tag Team Invitational Final Match: Beer Money Inc. defeats The British Invasion
This was a very fun match to watch and I was shocked at the result. 3.5 out of 5 stars

I Quit Match for the TNA Legends Title: AJ Styles (c) defeats Booker T

Ultimate Sacrifice Match for the TNA Heavyweight Title: Mick Foley (c) vs Jeff Jarrett vs Sting vs Kurt Angle
Sting pins Kurt Angle to take control of the MEM. This may have been the best Heavyweight Title match I have seen this year. 5 out of 5 stars.
