NWA World Heavyweight Title Match
Ron "The Truth" Killings (c) vs. Scott Hall
Killings came to the ring first, and did his rap. Killings ripped on the fans, then said it was time for the "moment of Truth". He said that BJ James, Scott Hall, Syxx-Pac, etc. were accusing Jeff Jarrett of being "Mr. Wrestling III". He said Jarrett was not after his title, and he was tired of dressing room politics. He tried to say Scott Hall's "Don't Sing It, Bring It" line, but messed up, smiled, then delivered it right. Hall came to the ring, and told Killings not to waste his energy badmouthing the fans. He said Jarrett was playing Killings like "Ricky Ricardo's bongo drums" and that Killings should worry about him, not Mr. Wrestling III. The bell rang, Hall tossed his toothpick at him, and the match was on.
Hall went after the arm, working it over and hitting a backdrop. Hall drove him to the mat, and slapped him across the back of the head.

NWA World Tag Team Title Match
Chris Harris & James Storm (c's) vs. The Hot Shots vs. Chris & Rick Michaels
The Michaels and Hot Shots embraced when they came out to the ring. The champions came out, and a brawl broke out in the aisle, with the challengers ganging up on the champions. Storm was hiptossed on the uncovered concrete. Harris was powerbombed in the ring. The champions were being mauled by all four challengers, who were working together. Storm was slammed on the floor and legdropped. Harris was rammed into the ring apron. James Storm was hoisted by Cassidy O'Reilly into a Rick Michaels clothesline. It actually calmed down into a tag match, but only for a moment, as all six men were back in the ring. The Champions rallied, cleaning house on all four men, but were eventually overcome by the numbers. Rick Michaels hit a DDT on Storm and went for the pin, but Cassidy broke it up. This led to the Hot Shots and Michaels going at it, while the champions were on the floor. Storm came in and was superkicked by Stevens, and O'Reilly followed with a splash off the top for a two count. Rick Michaels tossed both Hot Shots to the floor. Rick DDT'd Harris into his knee, and Chris followed with a top rope elbow for a two count. Harris knocked Chris Michaels from the ring. Harris & Storm used the old "Veg-O-Matic" (Midnight Express fans know the move, holding a low bearhug while the partner hits a top rope legdrop) on Rick Michaels for the pin in seven minutes.
The lights went out, and when they came back on, Minister Jim Mitchell was on the stage, while Brian Lee and Slash were in the ring. Mitchell told them to take out the garbage, and they disposed of the Hot Shots and Michaels'. Mitchell told Lee to send Storm "straight to hell" and he chokeslammed him off the stage through a table. Mitchell then told Slash to "sacrifice himself for the New Church" and Slash dove off the balcony, putting Harris through a table. Mitchell then cut a great promo, talking about how the New Church was going to follow no rules, and they would do what they wanted. He warned TNA to "prepare for the Apocalypse". The lights went out, and the trio disappeared.
They aired a sit down interview Mike Tenay conducted with Bob Armstrong. Don Harris was also present. Armstrong announced that from here on, if any champion intentionally gets themselves counted out or disqualified, they would lose their title. Armstrong also said that they were having a tournament for an NWA World Title shot to prove that everyone gets an equal chance at a title shot in TNA. Armstrong announced that Don Harris would be the special referee for all the tournament matches.
Mike Tenay said that due to a hip injury, Syxx-Pac could not wrestle Brian Lawler tonight, so their first round match would be postponed.

Goldylocks interviewed Jerry Lynn about his match with Sonny Siaki, which is part of the tournament tonight. Lynn said he had been a World Champion before, but the NWA World Title was the oldest in the sport, and he could get one step closer to it tonight. He said the title was more important than revenge against Siaki. The history between Lynn and Siaki was then shown. Goldylocks then interviewed Sonny Siaki, who is still referring to himself in the third person, and still flirting with Goldylocks.
