Great match to kick off the best of 3 series. They didn’t give too much away, and with the “injury” to Daniels, one has to wonder if Lo Ki will return.

Shane Douglas with Raven. He says Sonjay put a challenge to Raven for a hangman’s horror match vs. Sabu. Raven ran Vampiro out of TNA in that match. Raven runs down the Sheik, and says he has always known that he is better than Sabu, and that Sabu is just all hype created by Paul Heyman. He says next week, he ends Sabu’s career. Hang man’s horror, welcome to the Terror Dome…Quote the Raven…

We have the coming soon video, everyone thinks it is D lo, but it is me.

West and Tenay shill the web site and next week. JJ will be on Impact, as well as Jeff Hardy. Next week: 3LK vs. The Naturals for the tag titles, AMW vs. XXX, Monty Brown vs. Killings and Sabu vs. Raven in a hang man’s horror match for the main event.
