Mike Tenay entered the ring for a presentation of some kind. He was joined by $o Cal Val, Jeremy Borash and Leticia. He introduced the legendary Hector Guerrero who has joined the TNA office and the Spanish broadcasting team. The fans immediately began an EDDIE chant. Hector said he was so gracious to be part of the TNA family. He spoke Spanish to the home viewers and I understood none of it. Tenay said the award was part of the Hispanic Heritage Foundation apparently set up by TNA. But the presentation was stopped as Abyss crashed the party. $o Cal Val very smartly handed off the award to Abyss who promptly hit her with the Black Hole Slam.
(2) Robert Roode (w/Ms. Brooks), “Showtime” Eric Young and “Tennessee Cowboy” James Storm (w/Jacqueline Moore) defeated Sonjay Dutt, Petey Williams and “Macho Man” Jay Lethal.
Roode didn’t like Lethal’s impression and jumped him from behind. Roode tagged in Young and Lethal shook his hand, sort of. Roode entered and slapped the spit out of Young’s mouth. Storm tagged in and with some help from Roode, took over on Williams who was also tagged in. Williams fought off defeat and Roode several times before tagging out to Dutt as Roode tagged Storm. Things sped up as Williams and Lethal made the contest a high flying one as they hit moves to the floor. Gail Kim hit the ringside area and then Moore with punches. As that went on Dutt was pinned by Storm.
Mike Tenay and Don West ran down the Destination X card before going to a video package on the Last Rites match.
(3) Kurt Angle, Samoa Joe and their partner “War Machine” Rhino fought “Big Poppa Pump” Scott Steiner, Tomko and NWA World Heavyweight champion “the Instant Classic” Christian Cage to a no contest
I guess you could call Rhino crazy, especially with the match he is going into at the PPV. This one went all over the place as Rhino and Tomko fought into the fans while Angle and Cage squared off in the ring. Cage got dumped to the floor and Joe punched him out. Rhino had Tomko set for the GORE but AJ Styles hit the ring. Rhino chased him out of the ring and up onto the Elevation X. Rhino kept in pursuit and chased Styles off. But Rhino climbed down to the side of the ring where Cage and Tomko were waiting. They slammed Rhino head first into the ring stairs and then into the ring where Steiner was waiting. Cage and Coalition took turns beating down Rhino in front of and behind Rudy Charles’ back. Rhino survived the beating and tagged out to Angle who hit everyone with a German Suplex. Actually he hit Tomko with three and Cage with a belly to belly suplex which allowed Joe to clothesline Cage to the floor. Rhino hit Tomko with the GORE, Cage hit Rhino with the Unprettier, Joe hit Cage with a Muscle Buster and Angle locked Steiner in the Ankle Lock. But before a submission Abyss hit the ring and then everyone with moves. The lights went down and came up to find Sting in the ring attacking Abyss. Things went crazy as all eight men fought in and around the ring.
