Brian Myers then applied a side chinlock, trying to keep Young grounded and prevent him from making a tag. Young fought valiantly to break free but was momentarily halted by a stiff elbow from Myers. The opposing team, known as “The System,” continued to tag in and out, effectively isolating Young and thwarting his attempts to reach his corner and tag out to his partner.

In the midst of the action, Kazarian managed to execute a backstabber and followed it up with a slingshot cutter, looking for a pinfall, but Brian Myers kicked out at two.

Crazzy Steve intensified the brutality of the match by executing a Twist of Fate with Tommy Dreamer’s head sandwiched inside a chair, causing even more damage to his opponent. After this devastating move, Steve headed to the outside and retrieved a Singapore Cane, signaling his intent to further punish Dreamer with this weapon.

In a bid to escalate the mayhem, Crazzy Steve wedged a trash can into the corner of the ring, causing the trash inside it to spill out and litter the canvas.

However, before Steve could utilize the Singapore Cane, he was caught off guard as Tommy Dreamer hit him with a cutter. Dreamer then took the cane and began to use it as a weapon, delivering a head and arms Tazplex with the cane in hand, but it only resulted in a two-count pin attempt.

Dreamer took the chaos to another level by grabbing some garbage, wiping his rear with it, and then shoving it into Steve’s mouth, adding humiliation to the physical punishment.

To further cement his dominance, Steve executed a cannonball splash onto Dreamer, a move that garnered a TNA chant from the crowd. Finally, Steve finished off Dreamer with his signature move, Belladonna’s Kiss, and secured the pinfall victory.
