Havok was caught off-guard by Rosemary, who assumed that Havok would be happy for James Mitchell being taken out of the picture. Rosemary offered her another gift, a No Disqualification match against Su Yung next week.
Havok was...not pleased.
Best of 5 Series: Michael Elgin (2) vs Eddie Edwards (1)
Elgin, much like most of their matches before, dominated the early part of the bout with heavy clubbing blows. An overhead belly to belly suplex only momentarily stalled Elgin, who popped back up for a springboard corkscrew reverse elbow.
Edwards responded with a fisherman suplex for a two-count. Elgin bashed Edwards with several elbow strikes and a sliding elbow to a sitting Edwards, smashing him right in the face. Edwards' chops seemed to have little effect, as Elgin shook them off and drove him into the mat with a waist-lift side slam.
Elgin was caught with a Blue Thunder Bomb but was able to kick out at two. Elgin fought out of a Backpack Stunner attempt and rocked Edwards with a superkick and a release German suplex. The lariat was dodged, as Edwards slammed him with a German of his own.
Big Mike popped back up to his feet and sent Edwards around the world with a spin-out sidewalk slam for a near fall as we cut to commercial.
Back from the break, the two brawlers traded boots and elbows. Elgin set up for a sit out facebuster but Edwards landed on his feet, connecting with a superkick to a seated Elgin. A tiger bomb saw Elgin kick out at two-and-a-half.
A moonsault from the top was avoided by Elgin who followed up with a discus clothesline that turned Edwards inside out. As he set up for another one, Edwards crumbled to the mat, unable to stand on his feet.
It turned out, Edwards was playing possum, as he rolled Elgin up for a nearfall. With a few more pinfall attempts, Edwards was able to put away Elgin, forcing a match 5 between the two.
Results: Eddie Edwards defeated Michael Elgin via pinfall.
Backstage, Scott D'Amore and Petey Williams, the coach and captain of Team Canada, respectively, hyped up the return of TNA. On April 3rd, we'll revisit the good ol' days when some of the greatest stars in the company's history returns to mix it up with the best and brightest of IMPACT.
Moose interrupted the plug, stating that TNA never created stars, especially not anybody as impressive as himself. He named Amazing Red, Wildcat Chris Harris, and Petey himself as nobodies, but the Canadian Destroyer reminded him of something very important.
Unlike those three, Moose isn't a champion in IMPACT (We don't count the Grand Championship here).
We were introduced to seven up and coming competitors on the newest season of Gut Check. One of the trainees, Shogun, accidentally knocked out his opponent with a back elbow that left Scott D'Amore and John E. Bravo wondering if he really has what it takes.
