Buck Gunderson & Mr. Marvelous vs. Nate Buck & Jake Lander: Lander and Gunderson begin. They lock up and Gunderson overpowers Lander, but Lander trips him up and follow with a dropkick. Marvelous in and cuts off Lander. He misses a charge, Lander follows with kicks, but Marvelous dumps him to the floor. Marvelous grounds the action, isolating Lander.

He runs wild and hits the spinebuster for 2. He follows with strikes, and the clothesline gets 2. Buck follows with a full nelson bomb and Lander hits the Phoenix splash for the win. Jake Lander & Nate Buck defeated Buck Gunderson & Mr. Marvelous @ 5:00 via pin [**] This was ok at best, but the crowd didn’t care at all.

We go around the ring with Ace Austin. Austin won’t reveal the secrets to his magic, and Josh mock him for losing to TJP twice. Austin talks about using his magic to be different, and sees himself as a showman. He has great body control thanks to parkour. He’s been around and likes to frequently relocate. He laminates his cards for tricks, so that it won’t fall apart. Austin tells Josh not to steal his shit, and the multi-man match at Rebellion is his favorite Impact match so far.

Ladder Match (For A Shot At The TNA X-Division Title): Kazarian vs. Daniels vs. Amazing Red vs. Brian Kendrick: The bell sounds and Kendrick is tossed and Red and Kaz work over Daniels. Red and Kendrick to the floor, and then Kaz and Daniels go to the floor. Red takes the time to alert air traffic control with a cool spinning plancha. Kendrick brings in the ladder already and he and Kaz brawl. To the floor they go as Red and Daniels now look to climb. Red slides under the ladder and then dropkicks it into Daniels’ face. Kendrick tosses him to the floor, climbs, but red back in and pulls him off. Kendrick slams him to the corner, kicks him in the face and then Kaz misses Kendrick and lands on the ladder. Ouch.
