Against All Odds 2008 Results

The main event of tonight's show featured Kurt Angle battle Christian Cage in a match that also featured Samoa Joe as the special enforcer. Apparently there must be a glitch in the matrix because wrestling fans are experiencing an extreme case of deja vu. The main event of last year's Against All Odds also featured Kurt Angle battle Christian Cage in a match that also featured Samoa Joe as the special enforcer. Just like tonight, the main event of last month's PPV featured Kurt Angle successfully defend the TNA Championship against Christian Cage when a member of the Christian Coalition turned against Christian.

• The match between Abyss and Judas Mesias was pre-recorded in Orlando two weeks ago due to the state commission in South Carolina not allowing the match to happen there.
  
• The hardcore street fight led to many developments. Jay Lethal regained the X Division title because he made the winning pin fall. The X Division will not be terminated because Team 3D's team lost. Since they lost, the members of Team 3D will have to drop their weight down to 275 in order to wrestle in TNA again. According to TNA's website, Devon is 270 pounds while Ray is 290 pounds.

• Due to the result of the main event, next month's PPV will feature Kurt Angle defend the title against Samoa Joe.
  
• With the exception of the first match of the night, every live match between men on the show involved a woman getting involved in the match. Even the women's championship match featured a woman that was outside the ring get involved in the action. For those keeping score, that is six out of nine matches on this show that featured a valet getting involved in the action.
