Hi everybody! Welcome to my live coverage of TNA Sacrifice. This looks to be a very good card. I'll be back at 7pm to begin my coverage.
Another interesting opening video. I thought they were going into their own version "Please, don't try this at home" for a second there.
X-Title match is up first. The only bad thing about this match being first is that we don't get an awesome Black Machismo promo. Dutt and Lethal double team Sabin for a little bit but noe they're trying to one up each other. Sabin taken outside and we get a nice set of moves then puts on the Camel Clutch but doesn't get the rest of it in. Sabin is now back in taking it to both of them.

Sabin tries for a top rope rana on Dutt but Dutt holds on the ropes. Dutt dropkicks Lethal then Sabin attacks Dutt from behind. Lethal now outside.

Backstage with JB who is interviewing Roode. He says that JJ is gonna make Roode then go from star to Superstar. I don't see how that's possible since he isn't even much of a star to begin with.
Nash grabs a mic and says that Dutt's ass is his on iMPACT. Nash needs to get Just For Men because grey is not his color.
