OFFICIAL RESULT: Austin Aries @ 7:00
-Aries says he came to TNA and made big claims almost a year ago. He said he could defeat anyone and that he was pound for pound the best in wrestling. He said he was the greatest man that ever lived, and they gave him an inch he took a yard, and then a mile. He knocked it all out of the park. It doesn't matter what match he is in, he is always the main event and always must see TV. But he is not satisfied with the X-Title, and he is here to take respect.
Hulk Hogan now makes his way out to the ring.
Back from the commercial and Aries and Hogan are in the ring. Hogan says he hears the crowd, and says he hears it when Aries comes out to the ring. But for him to come out week after week and say he is the main event, that is a tall order. Well, he knows that he knows about Hogan's career, and Hogan has been there and done that. He knows what it is like to be the main event and break all the records. Hogan then says that the one thing he never did was get the Goosebumps he got when he sees Aries wrestle. Aries has taken it to another level and he says that Aries is the greatest thing he has ever seen in this ring. Aries then says he wants to be the man and the main event. Hogan says he is the GM, and if Aries wants to be the main event, Hogan can make it happen at Destination X. Hogan will book the world champion against Aries at the PPV, only if Aries gives up the X-Division title, because he cannot have one man holding two titles. If he wins at Destination X, he is the world champion, if he loses, he walks away with nothing. Hogan says he believes, the fans believe, and they know he can do it. Aries says he busted his ass for the title, and now has to hand it over. Hogan says he can become the world champion ad become greatness in one night. He tells Aries to prove it and has one week to make his decision, and Aries says fair enough.
