TNA Victory Road Results, 7-13-08

Here's a rundown of last night's TNA Victory Road pay-per-view...

The Motor City Machine Guns and Curry Man (Team TNA) defeated Doug Williams and Alex Kozlov and Tyson Dux (Team International) and Milano Collection A.T. and Masato Yoshino and Puma (Team Japan) and Ultimo Guerrero and Rey Bucanero and Averno (Team Mexico) in a World X Cup elimination match. Yoshino forced Kozlov to tap at 20:30, leaving Yoshino and Shelley as the last two entrants. After a series of nearfalls, Shelly pinned Yoshino.

Gail Kim pinned Angelina Love (w/Velvet Sky). Sky got involved early by breaking up Kim's attempted figure-four around the ringpost. Love's top came undone, but she had a sports bra underneath. Kim scored the clean pin. Sky attacked Kim after the match. The Beautiful People tried to put a brown paper bag over Kim's head, but she rolled out of the ring.

Sonjay Dutt beat Jay Lethal (w/SoCal Val). As Lethal and Dutt battled back inside the ring, Valclimbed onto the ring apron. Lethal ordered her to get back down to ringside. She obeyed. Moments later, Sonjay crawled over and told Val that he loves her. She climbed back onto the ring apron and Lethal walked over to talk to her. Sonjay took advantage of the distraction by rolling up Lethal and using the ropes for leverage while scoring the pin.

LAX (w/Hector Guerrero, Salinas) defeated Robert Roode and James Storm in a fans' revenge match to retain the TNA Tag Titles. At 8:45, Hernandez performed a top rope splash on Roode, but Storm broke up the pin attempt. Still impressive for a man his size. Less than a minute later, Hernandez hoisted Roode onto his shoulders and Hernandez performed a Gringo Cutter off the top rope for the win.

Taylor Wilde pinned Awesome Kong (w/Raisha Saeed) to retain the TNA Knockouts Title. Taylor caught Kong on the ropes and then armdragged her onto the mat. Cool spot and a big bump from Kong. Taylor went for the cover, but Kong kicked out and Taylor overacted as she tried to sell Kong kicking out of the move. A short time later, Kong went for a chokeslam, but Taylor rolled her up and scored the pin.

Volador Jr. defeated Kaz and Daivari and Naruki Doi in an Ultimate X match in the World X Cup Finals. Some insane spots in this one. The craziest came at the end when Daivari was climbing the ropes toward the center of the X. Kaz jumped from the top of the scaffolding and performed a leg drop on Daivari. Amazing spot. With the other wrestlers down, Volador Jr. climbed to the enter and retrieved the X to win the match for his team.

Kurt Angle and Team 3D pinned A.J. Styles and Christian Cage and Rhino in a full metal mayhem match. The ring was litter with tables and ladders when Kurt Angle pushed referee Earl Hebner over one the tables that was lying on its top. Hebner fell to the ground and clutched his ankle. A.J. placed Styles on a table and then started to climb a ladder.

"Enough of this crap," Trigg said. Trigg grab Devine's kendo stick and hit Styles with it. Angle recovered, climbed the ladder, and performed the Olympic Slam off the middle of the ladder and through a table on Styles for the win.

Booker T beat Samoa Joe when his wife made the three count in a TNA Title match. With one ref bumped, Slick Johnson ran out in his silly little shorts. Joe attacked both refs. Security guards ran in and Joe beat them up too. Sharmell entered the ring and pleaded with Booker again. "Somebody help," she pleaded. Booker was out. Joe locked him in a submission hold. Sharmell continued to plead for someone to help. Sting walked to ringside.

Joe looked down at him from the ring. Sting said something to Joe and he walked away and beat up Booker. Joe walked back toward Sting, who told him he made his point and enough was enough. Sting left and Joe slowly followed. Then he turned around and headed back to the ring. Joe attacked Booker again. Sting returned to the ring and got in Joe's face. "You made your point." Joe flipped him off and said, "Fuck you."

Great moment. Joe went back to Booker, but Sting spun him around and jabbed the baseball bat into Joe's gut and then slammed him over the head. Booker recovered and rolled on top of Joe. Sharmell slowly counted to three. West said her count doesn't mean anything.

Sharmell and Booker rolled out of the ring together. Booker took the title from the announcers' table and walked to the back with Sharmell. Sting left the ring and looked back at Joe, who was still lying in the ring. "How the hell can Booker T be TNA Champion," Mike Tenay asked to close out the live broadcast.
