I'm going to post one more. If you like it please respond because I won't post anymore after this one otherwise.
Hosts are Mike Teney and Don West
Michael Shane (0-2), Kid Kash (2-1) and Lance Hoyt (1-1) vs. Chris Sabin (2-2), Apolo (3-0) and Sonny Siaki (0-2)
Shane and Sabin start the match. Shane gets in the ropes to stall. Shane bails to the outside and there's now been a minute of stalling. Shane ducks a lockup and slaps Sabin. Shane runs away and tags Kash in. Hoyt argues with Shane on the outside. So finally about two minutes in some action starts. Kash charges into a drop toehold followed by Sabin appling a front facelock. Kash escapes and it's back and forth. Sabin hits a dropkick followed by an armdrag. Siaki tags in and Kash and Shane receive double armdrags. Siaki hits an armdrag and then works over the arm of Kash. Kash gets a face rake and then tags Shane in. Siaki hits Shane with a dropkick followed by a right hand. Shane comes off the ropes and kicks Siaki in the face. Siaki hits a nice looking variation on a slam for two. Siaki heads for the ropes but gets hit by Kash. Siaki hits Kash but gets floored by Hoyt. Hoyt tags in and punishes Siaki with punches. Hoyt hits a side slam for two.
Commercial Break
We're back as Hoyt misses a moonsault from the top rope. Wow, I didn't know he could do that. It was a nice looking moonsault too. Hot tag to Apolo. Sabin knocks Shane out of the ring as Apolo hits Kash with a sit-out powerbomb. Hoyt breaks up the pinfall. Apolo fights back and does some flipping on the ropes. That's pretty flashy for a guy that couldn't even hit a clothesline during the earlier taping. Apolo tries to throw Kash off the top rope but gets a sit-out powerbomb and frog splash at 8:29. Decent enough tv opener. It gets an extra 1/2* for the Hoyt moonsault attempt. Too much stalling as there was almost two minutes of Shane doing nothing at the start. *1/2
WINNERS: Michael Shane, Kid Kash and Lance Hoyt
Chris Candido Daggert come out. Candido is in a wheelchair and I guess they're using that to start a restraining order angle with Nash.
Commercial Break
Trinity, Traci and Michael Shane do a shill for Dusty's new book. Who cares.......
::turns around::
Oh yeah the nice man behind me with the gun said you should go over to Amazon.com and buy Dusty's Rhodes wonderful wonderful book. Did I mention it was wonderful?

Petey Williams (1-1) and Al Ralphz (1-0) w/ Scott D'Amore vs. BG James (0-1) and Ron Killings (0-1)
Team Canada sneak attack to start the match. Double irish whips lead to James clotheslining Williams. Killings does a springboard dropkick off James and hits Ralphz. Williams gets double teamed. Things settle down and it's Williams and Killings in the ring. Williams tags Ralphz in. Ralphz charges into a drop toehold and Killings abuses him with punches. Killings hits a leg scissors and goes for the 10 punches in the corner. Williams pulls him off and Ralphz hits a clothesline. Williams tags in and plays to the crowd. Williams hits a snapmare followed by a dropkick. Williams covers for two. Ralphz tags in and hits Killings with forearms. Ralphz chokes Killings on the middle rope and D'Amore does the same behind the ref's back. Back and forth until Ralphz hits a spinebuster. Ralphz covers for two. Ralphz lifts Killings into a tree of woe. Williams comes in and gets thrown on a Canadian Destroyer attempt. Back and forth until Killings hits a flying forearm. Hot tag time as James destroys the heels. Williams bails to the outside and Ralphz eats the double team axe kick at 4:49. I know bashing 3 Live Kru is the cool thing to do right now but the team is extremely over and TNA would be insane to break them up. *
WINNERS: 3 Live Kru
Commercial Break
Elix Skipper joins the announce table and a copy of Rhodes wonderful wonderful book has comes out with him.

Batts hits an armdrag followed by a spin kick. Daniels tosses Batts onto the apron and avoids a sunset flip attempt. Daniels hits a tilt-o-whirl backbreaker and then plays to the crowd. Batts fights out of a headlock but gets an STO for his troubles. Daniels hits several knees and then tosses Batts into the corner. Batts fights back and hits a clothesline. Batts hits a forearm followed by a victory roll for two. Victory rolls always make me think of Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart from Wrestlemania X. Ref gets bumped and Batts hits the Batts Beater. No one in the crowd has a clue that Batts actually has a finisher. Batts covers and Skipper counts the three which Batts thinks matters for some reason. Skipper gets an enziguri and Batts gets the Angel's Wings at 3:47. That ending was really bad. 3/4*
WINNER: Christopher Daniels

Commercial Break
Jeff Jarrett joins the announce table. Gee I bet he interferes in the main event by hitting someone with the guitar. Nash comes out but security swarms him.

A brawl ends the show this week.
Overall:
I think this show barely makes it as a thumbs up. Nothing was great but at least they kept it mostly in the ring this week.
