Prior to the start of the event there was a dark match which saw Jason Riggs and Johnny Riggs defeat Serotonin (Kazarian and Havok) when Riggs pinned Havok.

Following this match there was one match during the pre-show. During this match Lance Hoyt defeated Chase Stevens. Hoyt pinned Stevens after a Fireman's carry flapjack. A. J. Pierzynski and Dale Torborg were in the audience and heckled Hoyt resulting in a confrontation after the match.

During the first match of the pay-per-view, Rhino defeated A.J. Styles in a Last Man Standing match (14:44) when Styles failed to answer the ten-count after Rhino hit two Gore's. Next Chris Sabin defeated Christopher Daniels and Jerry Lynn in a 3-Way Dance to win the TNA X Division Championship, when Sabin pinned Lynn with a roll-up while grabbing the tights.

In the Paparazzi Championship Series finals, Alex Shelley defeated Austin Starr. The judges were "Samolian Joe", "Big Fat Oily Guy" and Bob Backlund. The match originally went to a ten-minute time limit draw and was then declared a draw by the judges, before Kevin Nash ordered extra time. Shelley pinned Starr with a roll-up, and Shelley was presented a bowling trophy.

Next James Storm defeated Petey Williams, when Storm pinned Williams while grabbing the ropes during a roll-up. Jacqueline made her return to TNA and delivered a Death Sentence with Storm to Gail Kim.

In the NWA World Tag Team Championship match, The Latin American Exchange (Homicide and Hernandez) defeated Team 3D (Brother Ray and Brother Devon) by disqualification to retain the titles. Team 3D were disqualified after a drunk Brother Runt interfered, jumping off the top rope onto Homicide.

The penultimate match was a 30 minutes Iron Man match between Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe. The winner of the match a shot at the NWA World Heavyweight Championship at Against All Odds.
