TNA 2008

The Rock N' Rave Infection defeats The Latin American Xchange in 10:07.

A brawl broke out between all four men. Jimmy Rave & Hernandez ended up on the outside of the ring. In the ring Lance Hoyt sends Homicide off the ropes. Homicide stops himself on the rope as Hoyt unusually attempted a dropkick & got nothing but air. With Homicide in the ropes, Hoyt on his back, Referee Andrew Thomas distracted with Rave & Hernandez. Christy Hemme took her chance. Hemme jumped up onto the ring apron & hit Homicide with a low-blow. Homicide stumbled forwards & got hit with a pump-handle slam from Lance Hoyt. The masked Latino Members comes from the crowd & knocks out Christy Hemme with the slap-jack as Hoyt gets the three count in the ring.

After the match, Jim Cornette made his way out to the stage to deal with the man-on-woman violence that has taken place over the last few weeks & again here tonite. Cornette demanded the Latino Member stop being a coward & remove the mask to take his punishment like a man. LAX obliged & revealed Shelley Martinez. Jim Cornette, left embarrassed, quietly left the ring area & returned backstage.

Backstage we had a beer drinking contest pitting the beer drinking champion Eric Young against former champion "Cowboy" James Storm. With Eric Young leading the contest tried to cheat by pouring the beer onto his face rather than drinking it. Rudy Charles saw this & disqualified James Storm. A tipsy Eric Young celebrated with his spinner title belt until he got cracked in the head with a beer bottle, but not by James Storm. Instead it was Storm's former tag partner Chris Harris. Storm offered Harris a beer & after a slight delay, Harris accepted it.

In the second match of the evening, Kaz defeated Black Reign in just 4:51 with the Wave of the Future. Kaz was clearly pissed off going into the match & as a result, Reign got hardly any offence as he was dominated by the young up-and-comer.

After the match Kaz was keen to extract some more revenge as he picked up Darkness Falls & took aim. Fortunately for Reign, RelliK made the save with a steel chair from behind. Reign & RelliK proceeded to beat Kaz down until security pulled them apart.

In a backstage interview, Robert Roode gave Ms. Brooks a warning about the up-coming match. Roode told Brooks that her job depended on him winning.

Booker T & Wife Sharmell beat Robert Roode & Ms. Brooks in 8:40. The finish came when Booker T his Robert Roode with an Axe Kick but instead of covering, gave the fans a Spinarooni. This delay gave Roode a chance to roll over & tag the unwilling Ms. Brooks into the match. Booker was forced to tag his wife Sharmell in for the first time. Brooks tried to tag back out but Roode wasn't on the apron. Roode yelled at Brooks to get the job done. Ms. Brooks has had enough & gave Roode a one fingered salute before lying down for Sharmell.

After the match Roode gave chase to Brooks but all he got was a roundhouse kick from Booker T.

Backstage with James Mitchell & Judas Mesias. Mitchell promised to reveal Abyss' secret to the world tonite & the only way he wouldn't, was if Abyss joined Mitchell again.

Judas Mesias defeats Abyss in 17:57 in a brutal & bloody match. Mesias got the victory when he hit Abyss with Straight to Hell onto the broken glass on the steel ring steps.

After the match, Mesias wrapped the barbed wire rope around the neck of Abyss & held him up for Mitchell. Mitchell got on the mic & asked if Abyss was with him or against him. Before Abyss could answer "The War Machine" Rhino ran to the ring & chased off Mitchell before fighting off Mesias. Abyss' secret remains safe, for now.

Crystal is backstage with an irate Robert Roode. Roode fires Ms. Brooks on-the-spot. Brooks doesn't stay away for long & tell Roode that she doesn't care as she already has a new client. Roode demands to know who it is, Brooks says he'll find out soon enough.

Awesome Kong beat Gail Kim for the TNA Knockout's Championship in 21:32. Gail Kim did not go down without a fight in this No DQ Match as it took FOUR Awesome Bombs to keep her from kicking out!!! Gail did everything she could with as many weapons she could find but in the end the beast of a woman was too much to handle. Velvet Sky & Angelina Love tried in vain to help Gail Kim but both met a similar fate.

As Awesome Kong celebrated in-ring with her title, ODB came out to the stage but didn't come any closer.

Kurt Angle is backstage & is full of confidence despite having to face Christian Cage later in the nite. When JB asked why he was so confidant, Angle said Karen has taken care of business again but didn't expand on what the business was. Kurt left the locker room before JB could ask anymore.

"Black Machismo" Jay lethal & The Motor City Machine Guns beat Team 3D & Johnny Devine in an Ultimate X match in 29:58.

Five men ended up incapacitated at the finish. Chris Sabin was first to be taken out when he received a 3D on the ramp way. Next was Devon who got knocked off the top rope by Johnny Devine by accident. Devon crashed thru a table on the outside of the ring.

Brother Ray was taken out of the match by the X-Division stars including Sonjay Dutt, Senshi & Shark Boy. Ray was whipped all the way up the ramp & backstage with leather studded belts in a revenge act for what happened over the past few months.

With three men left they all made their way up to the top of the Elevation X structure, being used in place of the steel cables. Alex Shelley took himself & Johnny Devine out of the match to leave Machismo unopposed at the top. Shelley, having left his brain at home tonite, went for & connected with a Shellshock off the Elevation X Structure in the biggest holy shit moment you are likely too see all year!

Machismo regained possession of his X-Division title but it wasnt easy.

Backstage again & Crystal is with Christian Cage. The Instant Classic kept it short tonite, simply saying he knows AJ will make the right decision.

Kevin Nash & Samoa Joe became the new TNA World Tag team Champions by defeating AJ Styles & Tomko in 25:47. The finish came when the two big men Tomko & Nash brawled to the outside of the ring, with Mark Johnson out of position, Joe took a steel chair & wrapped it around the head of Styles. Joe disposed of the evidence & covered Styles. Johnson gets back in & counts the three.

Joe grabs both title belts & leave the arena leaving Nash still brawling with Tomko.

As a groggy AJ Styles makes his way backstage he is met by JB who informs him it's decision time. Styles ignores JB & keeps walking & eventually out of the arena.

Kurt Angle defeated Christian Cage in an early match of the year contender after 42 minutes & 9 seconds. Both men had kicked out of each others finishers when Karen Angle got up onto the ring apron. With Earl Hebner distracted Kurt Angle hit Cage with a low blow. AJ Styles, back in the arena, hopped the security rail with a steel chair in hand. Styles swung for Angle who ducked & as a result Styles knocked Cage out cold. Angle hit Styles with an Olympic Slam the pinned Cage for a three count to retain his gold.

Kurt & Karen celebrate back up the ramp as Styles tries to revive Cage in the ring.
