Jacqueline def Rhaka Khan: Everyone was surprised at her return, but it resulted in a pretty good pop for her. She really seemed to be giving it her all, but Rhaka seemed rather sloppy and was boo'd several times for being slow or selling poorly.

Chris Saban def Jay Lethal: The crowd was somewhat divided, but still favoured Saban being from the Motor City. A lot of the action was frantic and on the outside, several suicide dives.

Angelina Love def Taylor Wilde: This was about twice the length of a typical knockout match, and they were really going at it with hard chops. One of the most enjoyable Knockouts matches I've seen in quite a while. An especially memorable moment was when Love took a breather on the lap of a security guard.

Suicide def Alex Shelly: Very fast-paced reversal-fest, with some outside interference from Saban ringside. Great match.

Daniels def Eric Young: Great back-and-forth, with Young landing a devestating piledriver (eh?!) on Daniels midway through the match. Lots of false finishes, great energy from both competitors. Eric slumped out of the ring and lay on the ground for a few minutes after the match concluded.

Rhino (biggest pop of the night) def Matt Morgan: Morgan got TONS of heat, even more than Steiner later in the night. The security was a little lenient, letting middle fingers fly! I think Morgan was legitimately upset by this, as he exchanged words with security. Predictable, but satisfying bout, though Morgan had bad positioning for Rhino's finisher.

Beer Money Inc def Angle/Steiner: Plenty of lighthearted crowd-pandering on the part of Beer Money. Too bad there were an abundance of heel fans on hand siding with Angle/Steiner; constant "you suck" chants broke out when Beer Money got on the mic trying to pander to the crowd, which was hilarious.

Post-match: Angle remained in the ring and gave an out-of-character speech to the audience voicing his appreciation to the fans, and also vowing to "never return to the WWE again"! HUGE "Angle" chant broke out for nearly a minute.

As a side-note, I was sitting next to the leader of the TNAtion group for West Michigan. I would have never guessed this, as he did not get involved in the chants and was rather neutral, rarely applauding, no signs, nothing. This actually upset me, as it was obvious the arena was only about half-full, so one can only wonder if his nonchalant attitude played a hand in the arena not selling out, seeing as they sent him promotional materials to hype the event. His TNAtion Facebook page had NO group promotion events or notices, just a few updates on being excited, and trying to hock some tickets...pathetic.
