Special thanks to Ashley Colton and PWInsider.com for the following:
*Hernandez defeated Doug Williams
*Both the TNA World Title & TNA Legends Title are on the line: Kurt Angle & Kevin Nash vs. Mick Foley & Bobby Lashley. Lashley’s music hits, he’s nowhere to be found, same for when Foley’s music hits. Then the second time Foley’s music is played he comes out barely able to walk. He took on both Nash & Angle on his own. Angle had Foley locked into his leglock submission when the lights went out..and Sting’s music hit…Sting appeared at the top of the bleachers in the crowd..pointing his bat at Angle in the ring. The lights went back out & when they turned back on, Lashley was in the ring with his head bandaged and attacked Angle & NASH..he gave Nash a running shoulder block & Foley got the pin on Nash to become the new TNA Legends Champion.
Winners: Foley & Lashley

*Eric Young remains in the ring with Bashir & Kiyoshi for his match.
*Daniels w/ The MotorCity Machine Guns vs. Eric Young. The Guns hung around ringside reading magazines & videogame instruction booklets with their backs mostly to the ring, completely uninterested in the match.

*8 Man Tag Match: Big Rob & Doug Williams w/Brutus Magnus and Scott Steiner & Booker T w/Sharmell defeated Team 3D & Beer Money when Big Rob pinned Roode. This eventually wound up into an all out brawl that included all eight men, Kiyoshi, Eric Young, Bashir, Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, Daniels, Kevin Nash, Kurt Angle, Traci Brooks, Sting, Bobby Lashley, Mick Foley & the Bugsy McGraw security team. It was near riot conditions with the them brawling all over the place into the stands. The crowd was super hot for it all. Once the smoke cleared, it was Daniels & the Guns who stood tall, the Guns even held up the TNA Tag Titles…they leave ringside. All of a sudden Daniels & EY came battling back towards the ring along with the Guns, Kiyoshi & Bashir all brawling throughout the iMPACT Zone..on the monitors it could be seen that others were brawling backstage as well. The segment was well over 15 minutes long..it even had Chris Sabin throwing his shoes up the ramp at the World Elite. Daniels put the World Elite on notice that they were coming for them.

Angle says Mafia recruited him, Morgan corrects him that he sold himself to them..Angle says one last favor and he’s in the Mafia..Morgan is confused and doesn’t understand how Angle is asking for him to help retaining the title. Morgan says no one demands anything from him and he’s not passing up the opportunity to become the TNA World Champion. He says he’s walking into Hard Justice as the Blueprint, but walking out the new World Heavyweight champion.
