Per ImpactWrestling.com:
This match saw some amazing moments including Eric Young giving Jeff Jarrett a piledriver onto a ladder…An extreme moment with Drew Galloway jumping off the top of the penalty cage to a group down below, Matt Hardy performing a twist of fate on Drew off the ladder.. Amazing. Eligibility came and went for each individual.. but in the end… After a back and forth with Eric Young, Jeff Jarrett was victorious and is the new reigning King of the Mountain Champion!

So what happens now? Does this strengthen the working relationship between TNA and Global Force Wrestling? Something is definitely transpiring here between the two shows. And by the way, the King of the Mountain Champion going to the guy with the exact nickname made the outcome fairly obvious, right?
