Clinton B. – JOSEPH PARK by way of Taz calling him Abyss.
Dave S. – N/A.
Josh B. – PARK.

Michael F. – JOSEPH PARK.
CONSENSUS: PARK 10-2.

Coire M. – Someone called ROBBIE…T.
Clinton B. – ROBBIE T.

CONSENSUS: ROBBIE T 9-3.
Steel Cage Match
Kurt Angle vs. Wes Brisco
Nick G. – KURTIE KURT.
Coire M. – KURT ANGLE.

Dave S. – N/A.
Josh B. – ANGLE.
Darragh O. – KURT ANGLE.
Anthony V. – KURT ANGLE. If Brisco wins this match then we are fooled.

Gary H. – KURT ANGLE.
Greg M. – KURT ANGLE.
Matt O. – BRISCOE.
Mike T. – ANGLE.
Michael F. – KURT ANGLE.

Team TNA (Sting, Magnus, Samoa Joe, James Storm, and Eric Young)
vs.

Coire M. – TEAM TNA.
Clinton B. – TEAM TUH—NAH.
Dave S. – N/A.
Josh B. – TEAM TNA.
Darragh O. – ACES AND EIGHTS.

Jason N. – ACES AND EIGHTS.
Gary H. – ACES AND EIGHTS.
Greg M. – ACES AND EIGHTS.
Matt O. – TEAM TNA.
Mike T. – ACES and EIGHTS (I personally would watch a WWE Divas Ironman Match than watch As and 8s.)

Gary H. – KENNY KING.
Greg M. – KENNY KING.
