Dudley tries to Acid Drop Mack, but is sent to the floor. Jarrett avoids a knee strike in the corner and plants Jindrak with the Stroke, but he’s not the legal man. Jarrett pins Jindrak to win the match. (*1/4. It was as if they blatantly decided to not follow the rules of the match as it was very evident that the women were the legal wrestlers. The match was rather uninteresting.)

Bain isn’t very good and I really don’t know why you’d have Brown associated with this since he’s involved in a title match next week on PPV.) After the match, Bain wants to shake hands and is beaten up by Brown, as expected. Brown hits the Pounce to murder Bain.

(*1/4. It never felt like it got past first gear and the comedy stuff didn’t connect with me since they’ve done that a lot on the live event circuit.)

Stevens comes off the ropes and is met with a spinebuster! Stevens counters a pin attempt with a rollup for the win. (*1/2. The definition of a filler match and I’m not sure where Andy Douglas was for this match. I would have rather had seen a tag match, but there was a lot of tag matches already on the show to begin with. Skipper would have been a better opponent for Stevens.)

A lackluster main event to close the show.)

Final Thoughts:
A week before TNA’s PPV it would have been wishful thinking to believe these guys would have been going out of there way to have standout matches in an empty high school gym. Recommended to avoid.
