"Realtime" Mike Rickard here.  Tonight, a TNA Knockout will lose her hair, a new match is unveiled (The TerrorDome Match), and three of the toughest men in professional wrestling battle for the TNA World Title.  

VIDEO:  Hype video for tonight's main event between Samoa Joe, Kurt Angle, and Scott Steiner for the TNA World Title.

INTERVIEW:  Pre-taped interview between Jeremy Borash and Kurt Angle.  Borash asks Angle about the injury he suffered in Korea and whether or not he can compete.  Angle states that although he has won championships in the past with a broken neck, he can't do so tonight.  He's no longer a 25 year old man and he can't take any chances.

INTERVIEW: Another pre-taped interview as  "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner comments on Kurt Angle's declaration.  He's not sure if Angle is telling the truth but he knows he can beat Samoa Joe.  Kevin Nash exits Steiner's limosuine.  What is Nash doing with Steiner?

INTERVIEW:  In an interview conducted just minutes ago, Jeremy Borash interviews TNA World Champion Samoa Joe.  Joe says he's ready to face any challenger but looks surprised when Borash tells him Kevin Nash is with Scott Steiner.

1.  Deuces Wild Tournament Quarterfinal Match #1:  Team 3D (Brother Ray & Brother Devon) vs. "Tennessee Cowboy" James Storm (w. Jacqueline) & Sting : Brother Devon starts off for his team while James Storm asks Sting to let him begin. Storm starts the match off by angering Devon with a slap and gets beat down for his trouble.  Tag to Brother Ray who suplexes Storm before covering him for a two count.  Side headlock on Storm.  Storm backs up into the ropes and throws   Ray into the ropes in a successful  bid to escape the side headlock.  However Ray beats down  Storm, leading to Jacqueline getting in Devon's face.  That isn't a bright move as Ray  isn't above  knocking her down.  Storm  makes the tag to Sting who reluctantly tags in.  Ray gets an advantage early on but a combination of scoop slams and a running clothesline force Brother Ray to bail out of the ring and take a breather.  Tag to Devon as Sting faces off.  Test of strength as both men go for a fingerlock but decide against it and go for a  collar and elbow lockup.  Devon puts Sting in a side headlock but Sting powers out, throwing Devon into the ropes and knocking him down with a shoudlerblock.  Sting begins stomping on Devon's fingers but James Storm isn't happy with his progress and begins arguing with the Stinger.  Brother Ray capitalizes on Sting's distraction and blindsides Sting, allowing Devon to gain the advantage.  As Devon places Sting in a headlock, James Storm relaxes with a beer at ringside.  Sting elbows his way out of the headlock but Devon rakes the eyes, stunning Sting and setting him up for a bodyslam.  Diving headbutt by Devon hits Sting.  Devon goes to repeat but Sting rolls out of the way.  Irish whip on Devon.  Stinger Splash.  Ray comes in but Sting throws him into Devon.  Sting goes for a Stinger Splash but Ray sidesteps him, hitting the corner.  Ray and Devon go for the Whatsup!, stunning the Stinger.  Meanwhile, James Storm is standing by idly.  Team 3D get the tables and go to put Sting through but Stinger counters with a double clothesline.  James Storm comes in and gestures for Team 3D to put Sting through the table.  An angry Stinger has had enough and he grabs Storm (who's sitting on the second rope), putting him through the table.  Team 3D capitalize and cover Storm, winning the match.

WINNERS:  Team 3-D (by pinfall).

BACKSTAGE:  MMA fighter Frank Trigg (sp) talks about Kurt Angle's neck injury as well his pick for tonight's main event.  He picks Samoa Joe, citing his cardio and ability to take a lot of punishment. 

2.
Deuces Wild Tournament Quarterfinal Match #2:  Robert Roode & Booker T vs. "The War Machine" Rhino & Christian Cage:  Given Roode and T's past history, it's going to be intriguing to see them competing as a team rather than against each other.  We soon find out as Roode and Booker begin shoving each other with the action spilling out of the ring.  Roode grabs a steel chair as the referee tries to get the two teammates back on track.   Unfortunately for Booker & Roode, this is what happens in a tournament where wrestlers are randomly paired.  Booker and Roode argue in the ring but Roode calms down enough to start off against Rhino.  Side headlock on Roode as Rhino knocks Roode down with a shoulderblock.  Rhino rams Rooe's head into the turnbuckle and begins punching away at him in the corner.  Tag to Cage who grabs Roode and throws him into the ropes w. Rhino.  Double hiptoss by Rhino & Cage.  Roode catches Cage with a chop and whips him into the ropes.  Leapfrog by Cage and he catches Roode with a chop before climbing the ropes and hitting a corkscrew elbow on Roode.  Cage goes for the Unprettier but it's way too early in the match.  Roode knocks Cage off the second rope as Cage falls hard, landing on his head.  Cage gets his head thrown into the turnbuckle as Roode begins punching and kicking away at Cage in the corner.  Clear size and strength advantage for Roode but Cage has shown his resilency time after time.   Irish whip into the corner as Roode follows in with a clothesline on Roode.  Cage begins fighting back with punches but Roode slows things down by catching Cage with a  spinebuster.  Cover on Cage for a two count.  Roode applies a front facelock, using his weight to force Cage down to the mat.  Cage manages to get out but Roode keeps the heat on by blasting a forearm on Cage.  Cage makes it to the second rope and as Roode tries to knock him off, Cage lands a DDT on Roode.  Cage is slowly making his way to Rhino as Roode goes towards his own corner.  Booker T doesn't wait for Roode to tag and he slaps Roode's back.  Booker T runs in before Cage can make the tag and he continues the beatdown on Cage.  However a missed Book End gives Cage the opening he needs to hit a reverse DDT and he makes the tag to Rhino.  Rhino shoulderblocks Booker in the corner but T delivers a leg lariat and a series of kicks to Rhino.  Booker backs into the ropes and Roode blasts him in the back.  Booker T isn't too happy and he argues with Roode.  Booker T is knocked out of the ring as Rhino and Roode lock up.  Roode should have stayed in his corner as Rhino catches him with a Gore out of nowhere, getting the pinfall win.

WINNERS:  Christian Cage & Rhino (by pinfall).

After the match, Booker T raises the hands of Cage & Rhino, congratulating his friends on their victory.  However all is not what it seems as T grabs a steel chair and ambushes Rhino & Cage, laying them out with the chair.

BACKSTAGE:  Jeremy Borash stands by as Scott Steiner tries to persuade Kevin Nash to work with him against Samoa Joe.  Nash tells Steiner that Joe has been his meal ticket but he tells "Big Poppa Pump" he'll think about it.

3.
Deuces Wild Tournament Quarterfinal Match #3:  Kip James & Matt Morgan vs. The Latin American Exchange Homicide & Hernandez (w. Hector Guerrero: Kip and Homcide start off with James mocking Homicde's height.  Homicide pokes Kip James in the eye and goes for a headlock but James uses his size advantage to pick him up and place him on the top of a turnbuckle.  Not too bright as he angers Homicide and Homicide dropkicks him.  Homicide then dives out of the ring after James, knocking him down.  Unfortunately, Matt Morgan goes outside and picks up Homicide, tossing him into the ring.  Tag to Morgan as Morgan grabs Homicide's hand and walks the top rope before dropping a forearm down on Homicide.  Morgan headbutts Homicide before tagging Kip back in.  Kick to Homicide as James follows up by ramming his head into the turnbuckle.  Kip dives into the corner but Homicide sidesteps him and makes the tag to Hernandez.  Hernandez puts his t-shirt around James' head and uses it to throw him down.  Tag to Morgan as the two teams' powerhouses square off.  Hernandez knocks Morgan down but James blindsides him.  James goes for the Fame-Asser on Hernandez as Morgan goes for the Mafia Kick.  Miscue by James & Morgan as Morgan Mafia Kicks James instead of Hernandez.  Hernandez dropkicks Morgan out of the ring before covering James for the victory.

WINNERS:  LAX (by pinfall).

INTERVIEW:  Jeremy Borash interviews "The Phenomenal" A.J. Styles about his upcoming tag match.  The interview is interrupted by an irate Kurt Angle who questions whether or not Styles is with Karen Angle.

4.  Deuces Wild Tournament Quarterfinal Match #4:  Super Eric & "The Phenomenal" A.J. Styles vs. B.G. James & TNA Woman's Champion Awesome Kong (w. Raisha Saeed):   Super Eric and James start off with Super Eric controlling the initial part of the match.  Tag to Styles.  A.J. Styles dazzles B.G. James with quick moves, leading to a tag to Awesome Kong.  Styles reluctantly grapples with Kong but soon gives up his hesitation to wrestle a woman and goes for a pinfall attempt.  Exchange of holds with neither getting the upper hand until Kong goes for a testicular claw on Styles while the referee is distracted by James.  Tag to James and James works over Styles before tagging Kong in.  Kong goes for an Awesome Bomb but Styles counters and goes for a Sunset Flip.  Kong wisely sits down, flattening Styles.  Tag to James who comes in and applies a chinlock on Styles.  Styles tries to fight his way out but James begins peppering Styles with punches.  It's not enough though as Styles hits the Pele on James, allowing him time to tag in Super Eric.  Super Eric wastes no time going after James, knocking him down with a punch before hitting a 360 Splash on James.  Kong runs in but Super Eric grabs her and slams her on B.G.  Super Eric knocks Kong out of the ring as Styles dives off at James with a flying headbutt. Styles trips and misses his target, landing hard.  When James tries to suplex Styles, Styles catches him napping and counters the attempt, rolling him up in a small package.

WINNERS:  A.J. Styles & Super Eric.

INTERVIEW:  Rick Steiner talks about how his brother Scott asked him to be there with him for tonight's main event. 

VIDEO:  Hype video for tonight's TerrorDome Match to determine the #1 contender for the X Division Title.

5.  TerrorDome Match (Winner declared #1 Contender for the X Division): Curry Man vs. "The Guru" Sonjay Dutt vs. Consequences Creed vs. Shark Boy vs. Jimmy Rave vs. Kaz vs. Chris Sabin vs. Alex Shelley vs. Johnny Devine vs. "Black Machismo" Jay Lethal : This is a cage match with esvcape being the only way to win the match.  The problem is that there's only one way out of the cage-through a small hole located at the top of the cage.  You have to wonder whether or not Alex Shelley & Sabin will utilize their tag team skills to their advantage in this match.  Before the match begins, TNA authority figure Jim Cornette announces that not only will the winner get a shot at the X Division Title but they'll take Kurt Angle's spot in tonight's TNA World Title match.  Wow!  Talk about sweetening the pot.  The match begins with several of the combatants making a mad dash up the cage.  Curry Man & Consequences Creed square off on the mat as it's every man for themselves.  Referee Rudy Charles is on top of the cage, harnessed to the top of the structure so he can guarantee who escapes first.  The Motor City Machine Guns double team Shark boy, knocking him down with dropkicks.  The Guns continue double teaming the other wrestlers while Consequences Creed climbs towards the exit.  However Creed doesn't have a good grip and he has to let himself down.  He does, going after Kaz.  Meanwhile, Sonjay Dutt fights off the Motor City Machine Guns.  Beautiful spot as Kaz gets the Tower of Doom with Johnny Devine leading his path down onto the mat.  Curry Man squares off with Sonjay Dutt, getting the short end of the stick.  "Black Machismo" makes a run for the exit but Jimmy Rave slams his head into the cage, stopping his escape.  "The Guru" Sonjay Dutt  and Johnny Devine are climbing the cage.  Curry Man tries to stop him, climbing after him while Devine doesn't get far.  The Motor City Machine Guns continue their two on one tactics, laying out Consequences Creed.  Chris Sabin battles Shark Boy with Shelley momentarily out of the picture.  It's total chaos as everyone is fighting to make it out.  Sonjay Dutt looks to be on his way ot the top when Curry Man stops him, knocking him off.  Jimmy Rave becomes the next to climb his way out and once again, CUrry Man puts the brakes on, hitting the Spice Rack onto Rave off of the top rope. Rave may be out of the match at this point.  Curry Man then goes after Jay Lethal before making his bid for the exit.  However Kaz follows him up the cage and the two battle in the corner.  CUrry Man knocks Kaz down as he continues climbing.  However Kaz is quick to climb back up after Curry Man.  Reverse Flux Capacitor by Kaz sends Curry Man flying.  Seeing Kaz on his way up, Johnny Devine stops him cold, knocking him down.  Devine then floors Consequences Creed with the "Devine Intervention".  Devine makes his way up the cage as Kaz grabs him and pulls him off of the cage, sending him onto the other competitors.  Kaz climbs the cage and makes his way to the exit.  Kaz escapes, winning the match.

WINNER:  Kaz.

INTERVIEW: 
Jeremy Borash interviews TNA World Champion Samoa Joe.  Borash asks Joe about the presence of Kevin Nash, telling him he doesn't want to "stir things up".    An angry Joe grabs Borash by the throat and tells him he knows he's trying to stir things up.  He doesn't care about Nash's presence and he's ready for tonight's match.

"Shillmaster" Don West & Mike Tenay speculate on how Kaz' presence in the main event will affect the TNA World Championship match.

6.
Deuces Wild Tournament Semi-Final Match:  Team 3D (Brother Ray & Brother Devon) vs. "War Machine" Rhino & "The Instant Classic" Christian Cage: Rhino grabs the back of his head on the way to the ring (no doubt sore after Booker T cracked a steel chair over it).  It's the same thing for Cage as he rubs the back of his head.  Don West & Mike Tenay point out that Team 3-D will capitalize on Cage & Rhino's diminished capacity.  Cage begins the match against Brother Ray.  While Ray circles Cage, Brother Devon attacks Cage from behind, knocking him down.  Chinlock on Cage as he's on the ropes.  Ray slams Cage across the back of his neck and head before delivering a big neckbreaker to Cage.  Ray ties up Cage's leg before tagging in Devon.  Devon continues the attacks on Cage as "The Instant Classic" tries to get some kicks in on Devon.  Devon elbows Cage's neck before punching away.  Devon distracts the referee as Ray applies a head scissors to Cage's neck.  Devon charges at Cage but Cage sidesteps him, making an opportnity to tag in Rhino.  Rhino catches Devon with a shoulderblock off the ropes.  However he's caught from behind by Brother Ray who yanks him by the hair down hard onto the mat.  That stops Rhino's momentum as Devon pulls him into his corner and tags in Ray.  Elbowsmash by Ray followed by a series of forearms and punches to the back of Rhino's head.  Snapmare by Ray followed by a quick tag to Devon.  Devon whips Rhino into the ropes but Rhino lands a spinebuster on Devon and makes the tag to Cage.  Cage knocks Devon down then lands a punch on Ray.  With Team 3-D out of the ring.

WINNERS:  Team 3D (by pinfall).
