He says he was able to accomplish a dream since he had as kid and is a real music mogul. He says he's the guy that owns the music from the guy that doesn't deserve it.

RS corkscrew kicks him and germans him. RS hits flying euros in the corner. DD sits on the top rope and RS hurricanrna's him. RS springboard dropkicks him. RS blue thunder drivers him and wins.

Thoughts: RS won as expected. It was a slower and longer match and it wasn't anything too impressive. I assumed this was some kind of tryout match for Dak, but I don't hink he really impressed or looked as good as he used to. It was an average match here.

Thoughts: It was shorter and nothing of note here. IT was just people doing the basics and little else. I don't like EB losing, but I've been saying that since she started.

Indi nails Ash on the apron after. EB attacks Indi from behind and Mara Sade jumps in.

Alisha hits Moose with a kendo stick and Eddie shining wizard's Moose to win.

Thoughts: It was fine. The Hardy's were looking a little older here but this made sense and the action was alright. I do think we need a conclusion on Moose vs The System at some point as it has been going on for a while and hasn't progressed all that much.

Mike Santana comes out. Mike says the people want to see a fight and tells Nic Nemeth to come out so they can handle this. Ryan Nemeth comes out instead. Ryan puts over his brother and Moose says Nic is a b!tch. Nic comes out. He says Mike made the most of his 15 minutes of fame. 

Nic says Mike is on borrowed time. He says Mike can call him what he wants, but he will call him champ at Slammiversary. The crowd chants, "you're a b!tch" at Nic. Mike says he will see him at Slammiversary, spin the block and rip his head off. Mike says he will still be TNA champ.

Thoughts: This was just filler here. Nothing was accomplished except wasting time.

Overall thoughts: It was a very easy episode of TNA to get through. We had 2 decent trios matches matches here but not much else of note wrestling wise. I liked the AJ Francis segment. They way they picked people for Ultimate X was lazy and Cedric Alexander wasn't good in his segment. The final segment was also nothing more than filler and accomplished nothing. I'd give the show a 5 out of 10. It was average for the most part with nothing being that great. Order 4's match was match of the night.
