With a stacked lineup featuring some of the best talent in professional wrestling today, this show had all the ingredients to be a hit - and it didn't disappoint.
Opening Match: Latin American Exchange vs. Team 3D (Non Title Tag Team Ghetto Street Fight) In what turned out to be an absolute barnburner of an opener, Hernandez and Homicide took on Brother Devon and Brother Ray in a hard-hitting, no-holds-barred Ghetto Street Fight. These two teams know each other all too well, having clashed numerous times before, but that familiarity only added to the intensity and unpredictability of this match.

In the end, it was the unlikely duo of Moore and Storm who came out on top (8:05).

Match 4: The Voodoo Kin Mafia vs. The Heartbreakers (Tag Team Match) The Voodoo Kin Mafia - comprised of BG James and Kip James - took on The Heartbreakers - Antonio Thomas and Romeo Roselli - in a match that was all about high-flying action and quick tag-team sequences. This one was a blast, with both teams trading near-falls and showcasing their impressive aerial abilities (9:07).
Match 5: Chris Sabin vs. Jerry Lynn (Impact X-Division Title Best Two Out Of Three Falls Match) In what turned out to be an absolute show-stealer of a match, Chris Sabin put his Impact X-Division Title on the line against the always-tough Jerry Lynn in a thrilling Best Two Out Of Three Falls affair. This one was all about high-flying action and innovative moves, with Sabin ultimately retaining his title via a beautiful Shooting Star Press (13:30).
