Main Event.  World Champion, Moose (and the System) VS Nic Nemeth, IWGP Global Champion
Nemeth’s father and Ryan, his brother are in attendance.  Nic also was ringside with brother at NJPW when he won the Global Championship.  His title is not on the line.  I like Nemeth being billed from his real hometown, mine too, Cleveland, Ohio.  (Not Hollywood)

(9, Moose rolled out of the ring and the 10th was from the apron to the floor.)
Back in the ring, Nemeth drops another elbow, this from the top rope.  He can only muster a two count.  Moose blocks a superkick and gets a two count off a sky high.  Nemeth rolls up Moose twice for two.  Moose powerbombs him for a two count.  Moose sets up Nic on the ramp.  He powerbombs him.  This knocked out the feed for a second.  That was nasty.  Nemeth barely beats the 10 count.  Moose misses a moonsault.  Nic hits a famouser for two.  The two start exchanging punches mid ring.  The crowd is really into this and chant and boo with each punch.  Nic hits another famouser for a two count.  Moose gets two his feet.  They are both groggy.  Superkick and spear by Nemeth is only good enough for another two count.  Nemeth goes for the superkick, but Moose spears him and gets the pin.
Winner and still TNA World Champion, Moose
The System come out to greet the Champion.  There is a weird video package and the lights go out.  Broken Matt Hardy hits a Twist of Fate on Moose.  Hardy picks up the belt and holds it overhead.  The show ends.
