In a match to decide who would face AJ Styles for the TNA Legends title later in the evening, Suicide and Daniels went to a time limit draw.  It was announced that AJ Styles would later decide who he would face.

Taylor Wilde was scheduled to face Angelina Love for the TNA Knockouts title.  Love came to the ring with Velvet Skye.  Love announced that in order for Wilde to face her for the title, she had to beat Skye first.  Taylor successfully defeated Skye, but was then defeated by Love to retain her title.

Eric Young defeated Matt Morgan

At some point Jeremy Borash announced that AJ Style couldn't decide who to face, and said that he'd leave it up to the fans.  So we did some cheering for who we wanted to see face him.  The crowd was about 50/50, so they announced that it would be a 3 way match for the Legends title.

Jeff Jarrett & Team 3D defeated Sheik Abdul Bashir and Beer Money, Inc. when Team 3D gave Bashir the 3D for the win.

Notes: The crowd was pretty alive most of the night.  Hard to estimate how many people were there.  The ShoWare Center looks to hold a decent amount of people.  There were tons of seats empty, but I'd say there were well over 500 people there.  All throughout the show they were promoting various ways to meet AJ Styles in the locker room.  That ranged from being the loudest fans in the arena, to a system where you sent a text to a certain number.  I thought that was pretty unique.  They teased that the next time they were in Washington, it would be for a Pay Per View.  After the main event, Team 3D and Jeff Jarrett did alot of thanking to the fans.  They then brought a little boy in to the ring that had TNA shaved in to the back of his head and all three of them autographed a piece of the table for him that Bashir was put through during the match.  They also brought a member of the military in and did the same for him.  They then announced that rather than bringing anymore people backstage to meet the stars, they would bring backstage out to the ring.  In the only part of the night that left a sour taste in my mouth, and felt a bit indy to me, they announced that Team 3D would take pictures with you in the ring for $20 each, and for $50 they would do the picture and autograph a piece of the table for you.  Another note was that not one single member of the Main Event Mafia was on the card (I know Scott Steiner was doing matches with Samoa Joe before he got injured), nor was the TNA champion, Mick Foley.  Overall it was a show that started out surprisingly slow, and built up to two great main event matches.
