My Prediction: In the end, this match is hard to predict, but for some reason I see Devon picking up the win.

Brother Ray comes out and hides on the side of the stage. Neal comes out and Ray jumps him on the ramp. Ray looks to continue the attack when Devon’s music hits. He continues the attack on Neal while Devon doesn’t come out. We see that someone has used a board to lock Devon in his locker room. Ray goes after Neal, but Neal begins to fight back.

They both turn to stare at Neal like they’re about to attack him, but then begin to fight each other. Neal goes for a spear on Ray, but Ray moves and he hits Devon instead. Ray catches Neal with the Bubba Bomb and covers for the 3 count.

Move of the Match: I think this has to go to the Bubba Bomb.

Move of the Match: I have to give this to the Botox Injection into the chair.

After the match Madison argues with the referee and then joins the woman on the motorcycle and they ride out of the Impact Zone.

Abyss is in the back with his “girl.” He again says “they” are coming. Abyss says the pattern of destruction will continue tonight as he wins the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.

Matt Morgan vs. Hernandez is next.
My Prediction: Look for Morgan to pull out all the stops, but also look for Hernandez to overcome the odds and gain the victory.

Morgan tries to escape the cage immediately, but Hernandez grabs him and sends him into the sides of the cage. Morgan goes after Hernandez in the corner, but Hernandez moves and proceeds to pick up Morgan and drop him across the top rope. Morgan goes up top and dropkicks Morgan into the side of the cage.

Morgan goes for the Carbon Footprint, but gets caught with a shoulder block. Hernandez looks for the Border Toss, but Morgan flails and Hernandez can’t keep Morgan on his shoulder. Morgan hits a short arm clothesline and rakes his shoe across Hernandez’s head. Hernandez avoids the splash in the corner and goes for the Border Toss again. Once again, he can’t maintain the hold, but this time he drops Morgan into a powerbomb type move. Hernandez goes up top and goes for a diving splash from the top, but Morgan moves. Morgan grabs a pair of handcuffs from ringside. Morgan handcuffs Hernandez to the top rope and starts to climb up top. Morgan stops at the top to taunt the crowd again. Hernandez breaks the handcuffs and hits the big man dive through the door and lands on the ramp to win the match.

Move of the Match: I think this has to go either to the drop kick from Hernandez early on simply because it was something you wouldn’t really expect from Hernandez or to the gutwrench powerbomb type move used when Hernandez couldn’t properly hit the Border toss on Morgan.

3 for 5

In the back, Flair says that Lethal has made a bad career move. He says Ric Flair is the reason there is a sport called pro wrestling and when he and Lethal face off, Lethal will be standing in the ring saying, “O my God, what have I done?”

My Prediction: This is in some ways hard to predict. I fully expect this to be a tough match, but I also expect that Lethal will pick up the win in the end.

Move of the Match: This has to go to the Figure Four Leg Lock because not only did it give Lethal the win, but it was great to see Lethal pick up the win on Flair with Flair’s own finisher.

Up next we see “The Pope” D’Angelo Dinero taking on Kurt Angle.
My Prediction: As much as I like the Pope, with Angle saying he will leave if he loses, he’s pretty much guaranteed to pick up the win in this match.

Rob Van Dam tells Christy Hemme that if Abyss tries to use his weapon, RVD will get a hold of it and put it where the “sun don’t shine.” He says all he’s worried about tonight is remaining champion.

It’s time for the Main Event.
My Prediction: I see RVD picking up in the win and proving that just because a fatal four way match doesn’t favor the champion, he still has a chance to retain his title.

JB introduces Mr. Anderson, Abyss, Jeff Hardy and RVD and after the announcement, the referee shows the title and signals for the match to start.

Move of the Match: There were a number of good moves. I liked the Tower of Doom and the fact that each man hit one of their finishers at least once. I think I have to give this to the 5 Star Frog Splash.

After the match, Abyss attacks RVD. He gets his weapon and chases off the referee. Abyss swings, but RVD moves. The weapon hits the mat and rips up the canvas. RVD and Abyss stare down to end the pay-per-view.
