The crowd was on the small side but very loud. Several rollergirls were in the crowd.

1. UDO pinned Pete Huge (w/Allison Wonderland). The end came when Huge accidentally crushed Allison in the corner and was rolled up by UDO. Pete really didn't seem to care that he hit Allison.

Horace The Psychopath came out and demanded to fight Arya Daivari for attacking him at the last show. Daivari said he would only fight Horace if he could defeat two opponents of Daivari's choosing. Out came The 5-0 to attack Horace.

2. Horace The Psychopath beat The 5-0. After several double teams, Horace rallied and pinned both members of The 5-0 with his cannonball senton. Afterward, Horace wanted to make Daivari bleed so he demanded a dog-collar match for later in the night.

3. Venom defeated The Prophet. The end came after a fireman's carry gutbuster by Venom.

Intermission

4. "6% Body Fat" Rob James pinned "The Anarchist" Arik Cannon. Good back and forth between these two. Cannon hit the brainbuster but missed the "Glimmering Warlock" and was pinned after a James DDT. Afterward. Black Hogan beat up James and posed with Cannon.

Arya Daivari came out to insult the crowd and denounce Christmas. Santa Claus and Gingerbread Man came out to throw out presents to the crowd. Arya punched Gingerbread Man and wanted to know where his present was. Santa gave him a present. Arya read that the gift was from Horace The Psychopath. Daivari opened the box to reveal a dog collar and chain. Santa attacked Daivari, revealing himself to be Horace and the fight was on.

5. Arya Daivari beat Horace The Psychopath in a gruesome dog collar match. Midway through the match, Daivari hit Horace with a piece of chain that cut open Horace's head very deeply. Arya focused on the cut for the rest of the match and at one point,wrapped the chain around Horace's throat. Blood literally shot out of Horace's head a good two feet. Referee Ricky Reed stopped the match because of the blood loss but Rob Page convinced Reed to restart the match. Horace hit Daivari with his cannonball senton but Arya managed to roll Horace over for the win. Several security members and Arik Cannon rushed into the ring with towels to try to stop Horace's bleeding.

A brief intermission followed to clean up the ring.

6. Midwest Ground & Air (Nate Bash & Benjamin Sailer) beat The North Star Express(Ryan Cruz & Darin Corbin) in a TLC match in which $1,000 was hanging in a case above the ring.Simply incredible what these four men did. Sailer dropkicked a ladder into Corbin's face while hitting Cruz with a senton at the same time.Corbin came up bleeding heavily. Cruz sent Bash into another ladder and Bash was cut open as well. The NSE tried to hit Cruz Control off a ladder but Bash saved his partner.Cruz and Sailer battled on a ladder bridged between another ladder and the ropes.

Both almost fell into ringside. Bash aimed to put Cruz through a table but Corbin leaped off a ladder and hit Bash with an Ace Crusher. Later, Bash was successful in putting Cruz through a table by leaping off the speakers on the stage to the floor. Sailer and Corbin battled for the case containing the money and Sailer ended up tipping the ladder over, sending Corbin smashing through another table. The only one left standing,Sailer climbed the ladder and got the cash. An amazing match.
