Carter stares down Angle from the ramp.

Earlier today Eric Young commented on his title match. His dream has been to be the world champion, and he lived that dream. He was told it would never happen, but he has accomplished everything he wanted, he dared to dream. He is not doing this for him, he is doing it for all the people that were told they couldn’t do something. When they chant foe him he gets crazy and does things he never thought possible.

Knux and his lady are driving, she is named “Rebel” and Knux says he needs her. She says the two of them can do anything, but Knux says there is “four” of them. Rebel, Knux, Crazy Steve and “The Freak”. She is not pleased about this, because Steve is crazy, but he says it is a done deal.

He sets it up on the chairs and has something bad planned for Storm. Gunner climbs up with Storm again, SUPERPLEX onto the barricade! BOTH men are down. Gunner now gets a piece of glass and pulls the old Tully/Magnum TA deal, demanding that Storm quit. He drives it into his head and Storm screams I QUIT!!

Storm is a great heel and Gunner continues to improve. Good work from both, including violence and blood that many wanted, but it lacked the crowd reaction/investment that their Lockdown match had, which is unfortunate. In front of a different crowd, it’s a different match.

OFFICIAL RESULT: Gunner @ 19:00
RATING: ***½

The Beautiful People are with Borash. Love doesn’t understand why she is the bad person here. She came back to TNA as a gift, because she’s a giver. They took in Rayne years ago, and without them, she is nothing. She says the division needs a makeover, and they are the only ones that can do it.

Borash is with Bully Ray. He says Roode is one of the best wrestlers alive, but this is a tables match, a fight, and this is Bully’s match. You can hear the people chant for the tables right now, and Bully says Roode has put him through more tables than anyone in the last month. Tonight, he puts Roode through a table.

Someone sneaks over and shoves Ray off the top and he flies through the tables. It is DIXIE CARTER in disguise. The bell suddenly rings and the match is over.

This was going well as both guys are really good, and the crowd was actually into this. But then the ref bump and finish I felt took away from the work they were doing. The ref bump is the most over used crutch finish in all of wrestling. The booking should add to what the performers in the ring are doing, not take away. But that’s just one man’s opinion.

OFFICIAL RESULT: Bobby Roode @ 14:00
RATING: **½

Carter talks shit to Bully as he lays in the pile of table parts. Dixie sucks chants follow. She calls Ray a piece of trash and says to never double cross her again.

Borash is with Magnus. Magnus says he is the next champion, and says to look around. No one is with him, he has been criticized though out his run for having help, but tonight, he stands alone. Young has the nerve to call him a paper champion, while Young lies to the fans by saying he is one of them. Young is nothing but a joke.

World Heavyweight Championship Match: Champion Eric Young vs. Magnus

How absolutely refreshing, a one on one world title match that is filled with good pro wrestling and no bullshit. I wish we got more of that, not just from TNA, but from U.S. wrestling as a whole. Good wrestling, the crowd was more invested than most of the matches on the show, and a nice way to close out things.
