Magnus comes out and says he is going to crack heads and will not leave until he shows his face. A security team comes out and James Storm makes his way to the ring. Storm says he tried to tell everyone that he was the bad guy, but he calls Magnus the bad guy. He says Mickie was getting more attention from another man. He asks Magnus what he thinks she was doing when the cameras were not there.
James Storm says he needs to be careful, as be brings out a stroller with his son in it. He calls her a sorry excuse for a woman, and he is a sorry excuse for a man. Magnus gets a few shots in on Storm, but he is held back a few times. He punches through the security and looks at Storm. Storm throws the stroller off and a fake baby is revealed in it.
Personal and intense. Magnus looked upset and looked ready to brawl. James Storm is very good at whatever he is asked to do. He is so versatile in his characters in TNA and this was a step in the right direction. This match needs to be a street fight and there is no need for more development. Tonight was a high point.

Winner: EC3
I am always wanting to see more EC3. I want to see more in the ring, on the mic and more consistency. Tyrus interfered too much for me, taking out multiple referees in lieu of helping his friend win. It makes sense, but it seemed too elongated. EC3 started the night off hot, but I wanted more out of this contest from him.
