TNA Hardcore Justice 2013

– Ethan Carter III def. Tommy Dreamer in a Tables Match to open the show. This was said to be a great match.

– BroMans come out without the TNA World Tag-Team Titles. This could indicate that they are scheduled to lose them before this airs. Dewey Barnes and Robbie E. do a dance-off, and a pose-off with Jessie Godderz for the chance to be on Team Angle later on. They make Barnes do ten push-ups but end up beating him up anyways and say they will do the same to the fourth team member of Team Angle, who has yet to be revealed.

– Bobby Roode def. Samoa Joe via Disqualification. The winner of this match is scheduled to get the advantage in the Team Roode vs. Team Angle match. The DQ happened when the referee was bumped and woke up to see a trash can lid near Joe, which was put there by Roode to make it look like Joe hit him with it. With the win, Team Roode gets the advantage in their match later on.

– Lei’D Tapa def. Velvet Sky in a Knockouts Street Fight. This was said to be a pretty decent match with a lot of chair shots.

– Joseph Park & Eric Young def. Daniels & Kazarian in a Full Metal Mayhem match. This was advertised to be Abyss and Young, but Park ended up coming out instead. The finish came when Young pushed Kaz off a ladder and splashed onto him for the pin.

– Bully Ray def. Mr. Anderson in a Last Man Standing Match. This was advertised to be a Stretcher Match, but Anderson revealed in his pre-match promo that he had the office change it to a Last Man Standing match because he didn’t want Ray getting medical treatment after he kicked his ass. Ray ended up getting the win in a bloody match.

– Austin Aries def. Chris Sabin in an X-Division Xscape Match to retain the TNA X-Division Championship. This was said to be an awesome match. Aries hit a huge hurricanrana off the top of the cage wall.

– Team Angle def. Team Roode in the Lethal Lockdown main event of the show. James Storm started the match out for Team Angle, while Jessie Godderz started the match for Team Roode. Robbie E. comes out next for Team Roode. Samoa Joe enters next for Team Angle. Roode enters next for Team Roode. Angle comes out next for Team Angle. Magnus enters next for Team Roode.
