Friday Night Anarchy
Dark Match
Chris Sabin vs. Cody Lawrence vs. X
Winner:
XChristian Cage vs. Kazakage vs. Kazarian vs. Matt Hardy
To put things nicely this match pretty much blew. Christian was, surprisingly, the only person who actually made an effort to wrestle, taking control of the match and beating his three ‘competitors’ the whole time until he finally just got the pin on Matt Hardy.
Winner:
Christian Cage via pinfall at 3:33
Dan Hellman & Lance Copeland vs. Blade LaVigne & Mark Vegeta GreenbergOnce again not one of the proudest moments of these men’s careers, Hellman was the only one who looked good, and that was only in comparison to the three other ‘wrestlers’ alongside him. Eventually Hellman simply put LaVigne out of his miser prompting the remaining fans to roar in approval.
Winners:
Dan Hellman & Lance Copeland via pinfall at 4:03
Luminous Robin vs. Karl Storm
This match was expected to be great, but it didn't quite turn out that way. Storm came ready for a fight, but Robin showed up, looking like he might collapse at any second. His body was covered in scars, and he was fighting just to stay upright. Karl Storm begins demanding the referee just call it a no contest, not wanting to even see what would become of Robin after a match, but instead of getting his wish he is greeted by A Climax from Robin who collapses on top of Storm afterwards. The referee hesitates for a moment before getting down and counting the pin, having Storm kicking out milliseconds after the win is handed to Robin.
Winner:
Luminous Robin via pinfall at :28
Alonzo Parker vs. Raven
The newcomer Parker decimated the alleged hardcore legend, tossing him around like a rag doll as he pulled out some big moves, looking very impressive. It didn’t take long for Parker to leave Raven flat on his back, as usual, for the three count, picking up the debut win.
Winner:
Alonzo Parker via pinfall at 4:26
If Evan Bourne wins he gets an IC championship opportunity
Evan Bourne vs. Seifer Blacke

Although Evan looked good, he still couldn’t quite best the Intercontinental Champion. He gave him a run for his money at times, but Seifer’s skill proved to be too much for the young Evan Bourne. Evan did Seifer ended things after a good fight by nailing the No Mercy for the second straight time to avoid another match with Bourne.
Winner:
Seifer Blacke via pinfall at 8:45
After the match, however, Evan was rising to his feet, and out come Lance Copeland for some reason. After helping Bourne to his feet he quickly turned the tables on Bourne and nailed the Reserve Piledriver leaving Bourne unconscious on the mat.
Alexander “The Great” Parise & Wizz Kidd vs. Cody Rhodes & Matt Kraven
This match had been hyped up with lots of words from both sides, but unfortunately when everyone was awaiting the arrival of the World Champion he didn’t show, and instead the viewers received a message that Parise wouldn’t be able to compete due to an attack from Edge in the washroom. So after all was settled it would be Wizz Kidd taking on Kraven and Rhodes in a handicap match.
The Kidd looked good, he was doing a good job competing one on one with both men on the opposing team, but eventually Wizz got tired and they isolated him, keeping fresh and hitting big double team moves. Despite attempted comebacks by Wizz Kidd he couldn’t complete them and Kraven ended up getting the pin after another big double team move followed up by the Death Valley Driver.
Winners:
‘Simply the Best’ Matt Kraven & Cody Rhodes via pinfall at 9:21
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The scene cuts into the back where it shows the perplexed Storm walking down the hall, only to be stopped by the Intercontinental Champion. Seifer tells Storm he had a chance to end the streak, and he lost it, just like he's lost every other match, because of compassion. He tells him he sees potential, but he's wasting it until he sees his enemies as what they are; enemies. With that Seifer leaves Storm, once again with confusion on his face.

Number One Contendership
Jimmy Gimmick vs. Edge
This match had pretty much slipped under the radar, and that was probably due to the quietness surrounding it. Edge and Gimmick both looked off their game as neither could really amount any good offense. Although Gimmick did seem to have the upper-hand, his paranoia was really taking a toll on him, which allowed Edge to get the slightest moment in to roll Gimmick up for the win, and the World Title shot.
Winner:
Edge via pinfall at 6:52
Jesus.......... 0-6
