Chaos ensued but team IMPACT was allowed to stand tall with some help from names from an era gone by.
IMPACT Wrestling has finally defeated Honor No More and they were able to do it during the celebration of their 20th anniversary with many staples of the past watching on. Scott D'Amore, current Executive Vice President of IMPACT Wrestling was dressed in full Team Canada regalia as he called the five-on-five match alongside Tom Hannifan and Matt Rehwoldt.
Going into the match, there was a mystery concerning who would be the final person to represent IMPACT in this match and former president of TNA Wrestling, Dixie Carter, was able to reveal that the final tag team partner would be Davey Richards, former partner of Eddie Edwards of Honor No More.
Throughout the match, there were several references to past eras of TNA Wrestling including Traci Brooks, the wife of Frankie Kazarian, getting involved physically and attacking Maria Kanellis. Later, D'Lo Brown would come out and stop the interference of Kenny King by delivering the Sky High and the Low Down. also, Earl Hebner would get in the ring and count the official pinfall as his son, Brian Hebner, was pulled out of the ring and could not count to three.
