TNA Legends champion AJ Styles vs. Booker T - I Quit

They locked up and Booker powered Styles back in the corner.  They pointed out that Booker didn't want Sharmell in the corner so there were no distractions.  Booker kicked him and pummeled his back.  He measured Styles and chopped him in the corner.  He methodically beat down Styles.

Styles made a comeback with chops and punches in the corner.  Booker went for a suplex but Styles landed on his feet.  Styles used chops to keep Booker off balance.  They went to the floor where Booker dropped Styles chest-first over the railing.  Styles refused to quit.

Back in the ring, Booker began beating him with knee strikes.  Styles battled to get to his feet but fell backwards.  Booker began choking him.  Styles rolled to the floor.  Booker slammed him into the apron.  Styles began nailing Booker with a series of punches but is cut off with a forearm.

Booker did the Spinaroonie, then cinched in a top wristlock.  He turned it into a keylock but Styles refused to quit.  Styles muscled his way up and dropped back into a Samoan Drop but Booker didn't let go.  Styles finally reversed the leverage and cinched in a hammerlock but Booker got his foot on the ropes almost immediately.

They began exchanging punches in the center of the ring.  Booker missed the scissor kick and Styles nailed the Pele.  Styles began beating down Booker with right hand after right hand.  Booker refused to quit.  Booker got control and returned the favor but Styles wouldn't quit either.

Styles hit a slingshot crossbody to the floor.  Styles went for a springboard as Sharmell came to the ring.  Styles nailed the flying forearm.  Booker, not realizing she was there, rebounded off the ropes and nearly knocked her off. Shocked, he got caught with a crossarm breaker.  Styles really wrenched it.  Jenna Morasca came to ringside and threw in the towel.

Your winner and still TNA Legends champion AJ Styles!

The match was OK but couldn't follow the Team 3D finale.  The worke was fine but they've had better matches and the finish really took the edge off the match.  They basically used the entire scenario to fuel the Morasca-Sharmell storyline. 

Jeremy Borash interviewed TNA champion Mick Foley.  Foley said everyone is making sacrifices tonight.  He said he would like to end Sting's career, lead the Main Event Mafia and take Jeff Jarrett's voting power, but the most important thing is to maintain the TNA title.  He said he never wants to see a world where he isn't the TNA champion and will do everything he can to remain "your TNA World champion."
