This PPV was kinda low on silly because the tournament occupied a lot of it, but I'm actually quite satisfied by it. It really felt big. It's time for... AGAINST ALL ODDS.
SHOWTIME:
Glacier opens the show, and he challenges Crimson to a Last Man Standing match to truly settle this. Crimson accepts! (56) Glacier d. Crimson in a back and forth last man standing match by luring him into a giant meat freezer and tossing water in the room. Crimson slips and slides all over the place and can't reach his feet before the 10 count THE UNDEFEATED CRIMSON has received his first non countout loss...! (69)
Jeff Hardy d. Mr. Anderson to advance (79) Jeff Hardy celebrates after the match to another mixed reaction (67)
Austin Aries d. Brian Kendrick and The Lethal Warrior in an ULTIMATE X match to retain the X-Division title. (59)
Bully Ray vs Sting. Bully eventually takes command and beats the hell out of Sting and has command, but can't put Sting away. He gets caught in a small package after trying to pick Sting up after he kicks out of a Bully Bomb. (75) Sting advances but is worse for wear and is stretchered out after the match. Bully Ray yells some random crap at the FEEBLE STING as he gets carted off. (90)
AJ Styles d. The Pope to advance by abusing the hell out of rest holds and slowing down the pace of the match, until the adrenaline junky Pope passes out. Daffney revives him after the match by beating him down with a chair. (77)
Suicide, Man of Mystery comes up to Daniels backstage, and says he'd better win this next match against RVD or he'll REVEAL DANIELS'S SECRET. Daniels says if he can't beat RVD, he'll quit! (67) RVD d. Christopher Daniels to advance. Suicide points menacingly from the entrance ramp and starts to speak, but Daniels cuts him off by saying "I QUIT!" (61) RVD, oblivious to all this, celebrates in the ring. (71)
AJ Styles says he's gonna win this tournament and make TNA about what it used to be, for all the old fans, for the people! This tournament is gonna start a new era, and now wrestling is gonna matter, etc, just like it did years ago before Bischoff and Hogan came around! A clearly injured Sting staggers out to the ring, still half strapped to a gurney, and says he's gonna have to beat Sting in the finals first... and starts laughing madly. (96)
Jeff Hardy d. Sting to advance. Sting fights really hard, but can't overcome the injuries from Bully Ray (84) AJ Styles d. RVD as RVD is unable to hit any of his special moves, completely bumming him out. (64)
Winter and Angelina Love d. "Hardcore Legend" Mickie James in a TAYBLES match to... unite the Knockouts Tag and Knockouts Titles... or something. (67) Beer Money d. MCMG to retain the tag titles. (79)
Jeff Hardy vs AJ Styles hype video, chronicling their paths to the final. (89) Jeff Hardy orders AJ Styles to kneel before his lord and savior Jeff "Jesus Christo" Hardy. AJ comes out, says he thought his middle name was Nero, then attacks before Hardy can respond (72) AJ Styles d. Jeff Hardy to win the tournament and become the NEW CHAMPION BAH GAWD NEW CHAMPION. (76) AJ Styles has a victory celebration, and the audience is crazy! TNA! TNA! (100!!) .. but it's cut short as Angle and Samoa Joe jump the railing and beat the crap out of AJ Styles. Angle spits on the TNA title, and shouts stuff like "you're not the real champion if you can't beat me!" repeatedly as we fade to black (88)
80 - Success! Angles helped!
