Pre-Show
The 30-Minute Free Preshow got underway right away with Jeff Jarrett down in the ring with his entire army; America’s Most Wanted, Team Canada, Alex Shelley, Gail Kim, Abyss, and the reluctantly doubted member of Jackie Gayda. Jeff Jarrett told us all that “Sting” Steve Borden doesn’t have the guts to show up tonight but if in the case he does show up he has a superior job for Alex Shelley and Eric Young. He wanted them to go find Sting and bring him up front; he wants them to see if the fans are really right this time about Sting coming back. Jarrett was confident that tonight Sting would indeed be proven a liar about coming back; simply put, he’s a quitter.
----------------------------------------------
“THE PRINCE OF PUNK” SHANNON MOORE vs. CASSIDY RILEY
The Prince of Punk began things off with some swift chops but Cassidy went quick on his feet to breakdown Moore. Cassidy Riley hit off a back flip onto Moore on the ring canvas but during all this quick momentum, Moore in return quickly shattered it by rebounding him out of the ring into the guardrail. Moore took control for the majority of the match but Cassidy Riley was able to find an opening and springboard off the ropes to hit a moonsault that received him a near fall after posing his arms out in tribute to Raven. In the end however, The Prince of Punk rediscovered his dominance and went high risk for the win.
Winner: “The Prince of Punk” Shannon Moore
----------------------------------------------
We went backstage with Jeremy Borash as he conducted an interview with “The Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels. He said that there’s no question that the Ultimate X is the most dangerous match but there’s so many questions regarding if Samoa Joe can survive in Ultimate X and whether AJ Styles can pull out a win. The real question however is who wants it more as Daniels then began naming off such memorable moments calibrating himself in TNA. Christopher Daniels told us that tonight is the second coming of The Fallen Angel and that’s gospel according to The Fallen Angel.
----------------------------------------------
THE DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH (ELIX SKIPPER & DAVID YOUNG) vs. SHARK BOY & NORMAN SMILEY
Before this match got underway, Simon Diamond told us that he had a problem because TNA is allowing to let TNA present the Chicago White Sox with a replica belt. Simon Diamond said that he is going to Arizona to face AJ Pierzynski and Dale Torborg to show who’s really superior here. He also said that TNA might as well present baseball players from St. Louis in attendance tonight with another replica belt because this is getting ridiculous.
Shark Boy and Norman Smiley then made their way down to the ring to begin this match with the fans in full support of Norman and Shark Boy. Skipper and Young were playing their numeric cards right here because they were doing quick tags and keeping Norman Smiley grounded. The match took a turn once David Young hit nothing but canvas from a moonsault off the top rope. Shark Boy then came in and took a bite out of David Young followed with Norman Smiley going for the wiggle. Skipper though crashed Shark Boy out of the ring as Simon Diamond took a cheap shot on Norman Smiley allowing for double team action and the pin in favour of The Diamonds In The Rough.
Winners: Elix Skipper & David Young

PAY-PER-VIEW
ALEX SHELLEY vs. JAY LETHAL
Shelley instigated the start of this fight with an arm bar hold followed with a reversal from Jay Lethal into a headlock. The two competitors then test each other’s strengths with a mercy fight before getting tied up in each other’s legs and stuck on their heads with nothing to do but punch each other in the head. Shelley and Lethal continued this wrestling clinic or as Don West put it – chess challenge. Lethal then went high risk with a dive outside onto Shelley. Lethal continued to abuse Shelley but this time with an indurate kick to Shelley’s head. Tables turned however as Jay Lethal later found himself in another Alex Shelley submission move followed later on with an inziguri after Lethal tried to get back his momentum but it was shot down. Alex was trying to keep Lethal grounded as much as he could because that’s where Shelley can take out his submission moves on him from the playbook. A neck breaker and bridge suplex had the match almost won for Lethal. Lethal again tried to put this one in the bag with a full nelson suplex but again, Shelley kicked out. Jay Lethal then went high risk but again another kick out. What else could he do to win? Nothing because Alex Shelley caught Lethal with the Slice Bread #2 for the win.
Winner: Alex Shelley
----------------------------------------------
Scott D’Amore told us backstage that Team Canada is a team that personifies team unity and that Petey Williams is going to show tonight that Canada produces the greatest wrestlers in the world by winning the International X Showcase match tonight. Alex Shelley then came and took Eric Young to start their mission appointed by Jeff Jarrett. D’Amore wasn’t happy because Eric had to get ready for his match but Young said this was important so it was decided that A1 would take his place in the tag team match against The Naturals later tonight.
----------------------------------------------
”MAVERICK” MATT BENTLEY vs. LANCE HOYT
Maverick Matt began the match with full steam but Hoyt quickly took the fight to his playground and threw Matt Bentley into the steel guardrail. Traci tried to distract Hoyt but it wasn’t working, he continued his attack on Bentley with a turnover scoop slam as Mark “Slick” Johnson counted the 2-count. Maverick Matt turned things around when he caught Hoyt with a kick after a miscalculation Hoyt did when he tried to flip Bentley over. Matt focused his attack on Hoyt’s head with shop chops and breakdown punches after a series of neck breakers. Bentley continued the groundwork with a headlock to cut off the circulation in Hoyt’s head. Big Lance garnered back his offense with a tower bomb sending Hoyt back on his face. Lance now double sledged Bentley across the chest followed with the double lariat. He was using his size and power to get the advantage in this heated rivalry culminating in this match. Hoyt made a mistake though when he went for the moonsault, it was a miss. During the match, Jeremy Borash was with Eric Young and Alex Shelley at the top of the arena in the rafters looking for Sting. Eric Young told JB to shut up because this is his best plan yet. He threw down fliers from the rafters that said “Have You Seen This Man?” – The match itself ended with the distraction of the fliers coming down as Lance Hoyt picked up the win. Traci was part of the distraction as she tried showing Bentley the fliers.
Winner: Lance Hoyt

Backstage, Brother Ray told us that tonight is about war as Team 3D, Ron Killings, and Rhino prepare to wage war against Jeff Jarrett, America’s Most Wanted, and Abyss!
----------------------------------------------
TEAM CANADA (BOBBY ROODE & ERIC YOUNG) vs. THE NATURALS (CHASE STEVENS & ANDY DOUGLAS)
Eric Young appeared to be ready for the match so he stepped back in his place as A1 remained ringside with Coach D’Amore. Chase Stevens went smash mouth on Bobby Roode with repeated drop kicks concluding with a Russian Leg Sweep en route to the tag to his partner Andy Douglas to continue the Natural domination. Andy now worked on Eric Young before tagging Chase back in. The Naturals were using quick tags to stay fresh and healthy, they want this more than anyone right now because The Naturals, being former NWA World Tag Team Champions, want to get back in the top spotlight and win those titles again. They had the chance last night on “iMPACT!” in the NWA World Tag Team Championship Match against America’s Most Wanted but they were robbed because of Roode and Young and that’s why tonight we have this match. The Naturals want to exterminate Team Canada and refocus on the gold. Douglas showed this determination by book ending Roode from the top rope as Chase insured the attack by kicking Eric Young in the gut on top of the rope sending him on the ropes between the legs. The Naturals took a blow once Chase missed his dive and hit the guardrail outside. D’Amore got some cheap shots in as Eric Young now beat Stevens in the ring. Roode later pulled Stevens’ neck backwards on the ropes from the outside and when it comes to situations like this you don’t want to see anyone seriously hurt. Chase Stevens had a broken neck a few months ago on “iMPACT!” but with the Canadians, they could care less. Momentum turned though when Chase kicked Eric Young with a step up that had Young fall flat on his face to the outside. A1 carried Eric Young back in the ring to tag Roode. Moments later, Douglas looked to have this match won with a high knee hit to the jaw and a twisting tornado style DDT but that couldn’t put them away. Roode went for the full nelson slam on Roode but later all men would suffer with the Tower of Doom Superplex! The Natural Disaster was later broken with the distraction of Scott D’Amore, which enabled Young to hit Andy with the hockey stick that had them win the match. The Naturals were once again screwed by Team Canada.
Winners: Bobby Roode & Eric Young.

Backstage, “The Alpha Male” Monty Brown told Christian Cage that he wouldn’t be able to handle him. Larry interrupted the interview and told Monty that TNA has ensured an even plane field tonight because Earl Hebner will be the referee. Monty said though that no one would level out the plain field but him with the POUNCE, period.
