Pre - Show

The TNA pre-game show opened with Jeremy Borash welcoming everyone to the broadcast, running down the PPV lineup. A video preview of the King of the Mountain match for the TNA championship then played.

Lauren interviewed Beer Money Inc. She noted that they were rested while Team 3D were on a 15 hour flight back from Japan. Roode said that Team 3D are the greatest team of all time and situations like this, where they defend the New Japan tag titles in Japan the night before a big TNA Tag title defense, it says they are amazing. He wondered if they could really beat 3D. They then both cracked up. James Storm says that we shouldn't feel sorry for them on the plane, but the plane for having to carry them with all that weight. Storm said that they don't care where 3D went, because tonight they are going to prove they are the best tag team in the world.

TNA played a video piece on Beer Money vs. Team 3D.

Jeremy Borash asked fans for predictions on who would win the King of the Mountain TNA title bout tonight.

Lets Go Raven And Daffney!!

I have a question regarding the KOTM match. Once everyone is eligible to hang the belt, do they still count the pins and submissions?

yes they still count pins and submissions because people can still go in the box for two minutes

WTF?!?!?!?!?! Love Won? this is rigged!! lol

This has actually been a great pay-per-view so fun, I'm impressed. Best TNA PPV in awhile.

X-Division KOTM was awesome, Monster's Ball was great, and the Knockout Title match was decent, and Douglas and Daniels was okay too, none of the matches have really been bad so far. But the KOTM and the Monster's Ball were two of the best matches I've seen in TNA for quite awhile. I doubt the main event will be able to top either of them.

Kurt needs a shave.

the streams are crashing my FF :pullhair:

Lol cheap heat by Angle with the Penguins jersey, and a cheap pop for Joe with the Wings jersey. But hell, I'll be a mark for a minute. I'm glad atleast ONE Pen got his ass kicked by a Red Wing.

Wow, Joe turned. That was unexpected.

did not see that one coming honestly

my first viewing of a TNA ppv, was not disappointed

Definitely the best TNA PPV in awhile. Definitely didn't see Joe turning, an unexpected swerve from TNA for once, and an actual good ending to the main event, which also doesn't happen very often.

Joe to MeM :o

What are they gonna do with Taz then?

as much as I hate Russo , he sure knows how to do a swerve.
