Chris Sabin & Sonjay Dutt b David Young & Elix Skipper when Sabin pinned Young
A-1 & Petey Williams & Eric Young b Shark Boy & Lance Hoyt & Ron Killings when Williams pinned Shark after the Canadian Destroyer
James Gang b Buck Quartermain & Kenny King when Kip pinned King after a cobra clutch slam
Homicide & Konnan challenged them to a match at the 2/12 Against All Odds show
Shannon Moore b A.J. Styles in a street fight. Christopher Daniels was at ringside and when Styles was caught in a half crab, he threw in the towel. The ref refused to recognize it, but as Styles and Daniels argued, Moore used an O’Connor roll for the pin. Women and kids cheered Styles but the guys were all over him, chanting “You screwed Daniels,” so the storyline they tried to portray on the PPV didn’t get over. They chanted “You got punked” at Styles after the match
They teased there were problems with Sting, but Larry Zbyszko denied that to be the case. Zbyszko told Team 3-D that they could have a match on PPV with either AMW or Team Canada, and would have to choose.
Christian did a promo. Jarrett came out with a contract and wanted to know who his opponent would be. Somehow it came out that Sting would be live “next week” (later tonight). Jarrett asked Christian if his buddy Jericho was going to be getting the shot. Well, if Christian is the one getting it, they sure managed to make that a letdown. Monty Brown, Rhino and Abyss all ended up in the ring with Rhino and Abyss and Christian and Jarrett fighting. Brown picked up the contract. Funny thing was, a fan threw a pen into the ring for him to sign it, but he had to no sell the pen.
Open of the second show saw Team 3-D saying they couldn’t choose who they wanted, so it’ll be up to an internet vote. I guess that’ll be fine unless they decide to actually abide by the voting and then put Matt Hardy in the listings.
Aries, Strong and Shelley were complaining to Jerry Lynn about not getting good matches. Matt Bentley then said if anyone should get better matches, it should be him. He told the other three to watch him next.
Bentley came out. Joe came out. Joe choked him out
Jarrett b Jay Lethal. Jackie Gayda came out with a tape recorder and played a tape to Gail Kim. She wasn’t happy hearing it. Thankfully it’s not WWE so this wasn’t a tape backstage from Montreal. Kim and Gayda left. Jarrett won with the stroke.
Christian came out and announced he was getting the title match. Crowd loved that.
Rhino NC Abyss. Rhino gored Abyss through a wall or something like that
Sting came out for his interview. He said five years ago when he wrestled Ric Flair on the last Nitro, they never gave him a chance to say goodbye. He said he came back for the show to give himself that chance. He said he was so happy with how the much came out on Sunday that he doesn’t want to taint the memory by wrestling any longer. He said good bye and left. All the babyfaces tried to tell him he still had it and should stay but he didn’t listen.
For Xplosion
Matt Bentley b Lex Lovett
Hiroshi Tanahashi b Roderick Strong. Wow, Tanahashi didn’t even get on Impact
Team Canada b Killings & Naturals & Cassidy Riley when Roode pinned Riley
