We start off tonight’s show with a look back at highlights of Hard Justice. We first see footage from the Humiliation Match where Eric Young lost the match, but did not get ‘tarred and feathered’. Instead it was Traci Brooks who wore the feathers at the end of the night. We then move on to the Steiners/Team 3D match which saw Scott Steiner hit a Frankensteiner. We then see highlights from the Bar Room Brawl and Doomsday Chamber of Blood Match. We then go to Pacman Jones’s comments about how he wants to show that he is the best team player to ever live. We then see Pacman laid out and taken away in an ambulance. We move on to the main event where Karen Angle toyed with Samoa Joe and allowed her husband to win all of the gold in TNA.
We go to Jeremy Borash outside the Impact Zone and he is on the red carpet for the Angle Awards. Eric Young joins Jeremy and he says that he is going to be the first to get Pacman’s autograph because his family loves Pacman. Kurt Angle arrives with Karen and Jeremy asks Kurt if he is impressed that he pulled the wool over everyone’s eyes at Hard Justice. Kurt says that Jeremy and the rest of the world witnessed the greatest act in the history of sports entertainment. He says that him, his wife Karen, his best friend Trademarc, and Dr. Nash all played Joe and the fans like the idiots that they are. Kurt says that it is only fitting that he hand out awards for the people in that elaborate scam. Kurt says that everyone is invited. Kurt says that it is great to be Kurt Angle and then leaves. Eric says that it is good to know that we still have heroes like Pacman Jones.

They can make history but Jones wonders why he would want to make history with Killings after all of the trash talking on Sunday night and the fact that he got beat up in the back and had to be taken to the emergency room. Ron asks Jones if he wants a teammate and he says that Jones does not have to look any further for a teammate. Jones wants to know how he can trust Killings, but Killings says that they will get revenge on the coward who attacked him from behind; and Team Pacman will look good as the TNA Tag Champions.
