context_page_description: No Surrender (2008) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling promotion that took place on September 14, 2008 at the General Motors Centre in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. It was the fourth event under the No Surrender name, TNA's first PPV to take place outside the United States, and the ninth event in the 2008 TNA PPV schedule. Nine professional wrestling matches were featured on the event's card, four of which were for championships.
  The main event was a Three Ways to Glory match for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship with the champion Samoa Joe defending the title against Christian Cage and Kurt Angle. Joe successfully retained the title at the show. A.J. Styles defeated Frank Trigg in a Mixed Martial Arts match also on the show. The TNA World Tag Team Championship was defended by Beer Money, Inc. against The Latin American Xchange. Beer Money, Inc. retained the championship at the event. TNA held a Ladder of Love match for SoCal Val, in which Sonjay Dutt defeated Jay Lethal.
context_section_description: The Ladder of Love match for SoCal Val followed between Sonjay Dutt and Jay Lethal, which lasted 13 minutes and 19 seconds. In the bout, the only way to win was to climb a ladder and retrieve an engagement ring that hung above the ring, which symbolized winning SoCal Val's heart in the storyline. Early in the match, TNA commentator Mike Tenay announced that Salinas had been injured in an assault by Jacqueline and was taken to the hospital in the storyline. The competitors set up two ladders in the ring at one point, with one standing upright and the other positioned between two steps of the first and on the top rope. This led to Dutt placing Lethal on the bridged ladder, ascending a turnbuckle, and delivered an aerial senton splash to Lethal. Later, Dutt bridged a ladder over two chairs at ringside, then followed up by forcing Lethal back-first onto the ladder with a neckbreaker. Close to the end of the encounter, Dutt had Lethal positioned on top of two standing ladders when he climbed on top of Lethal and placed Lethal in a Camel Clutch submission hold. Lethal fought out of it and pushed Dutt off the ladder, causing him to land back-first onto the ring mat. Afterwards, Lethal got his leg stuck in between the ladder rungs, causing Val to enter the ring and help release him from his predicament. Dutt then yelled at Val for helping Lethal before climbing the ladder. Lethal checked on a visibly upset Val in the storyline before also climbing the ladder. Val then hit Lethal in the groin as he climbed, allowing Dutt to retrieve the ring and win the contest.
  The TNA World Tag Team Championship was defended by Beer Money, Inc. (James Storm and Robert Roode) against The Latin American Xchange (Hernandez and Homicide; LAX) in a Tag Team match afterwards. Beer Money, Inc. was accompanied by Jacqueline, while LAX was accompanied by Hector Guerrero. The duration of the contest was 8 minutes and 42 seconds. Early in the bout, Hernandez threw Homicide over the ring ropes to the outside onto a standing Storm and Roode. Later, Storm spat beer in the face of Hernandez and powerbombed him off the top of a turnbuckle to the mat below. Hernandez in return jumped over the rope to the outside onto Storm. The conclusion of the encounter saw Roode attempt to perform his signature Payoff maneuver on Homicide, only for Homicide to counter the move into his signature Gringo Stunner maneuver. Homicide then followed up by attempting to perform his trademark Da Gringo Killa maneuver, however, Jacqueline interfered in the bout throwing powder in Homicide's eyes. Roode performed the Payoff afterwards and pinned Homicide to retain the World Tag Team Championship for his team.
  A Mixed Martial Arts match between A.J. Styles and Frank Trigg was the eighth contest of the show. This match lasted 6 minutes and 7 seconds. This bout was contested under mixed martial arts rules, but had a scripted finish. Half way through Round One, Styles and Trigg tumbled to the ringside area and continued to fight until security broke them up. The round ended with Styles having Trigg in an armbar submission hold, causing Styles to release the hold. The system feed broadcasting the show was interrupted at this time, upon its return it displayed a pornographic film, until the broadcast was fixed, returning to No Surrender. The feed returned to Styles and Trigg fighting in Round Two, with Styles grabbing a kendo stick from under the ring and assaulting Trigg with it. It was later shown that the bout was ruled a no contest by the referee due to Styles hitting Trigg in the groin by accident.
  The main event was a Three Ways to Glory match for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, in which the champion Samoa Joe defended against Christian Cage and Kurt Angle. Mid-way through the encounter, Angle held Joe in his signature Ankle lock submission hold when Cage tried to break up the hold, only to have Angle place Cage in the hold as well, resulting in Angle having both Joe and Cage in the Ankle Lock simultaneously. Both Cage and Joe broke out of the submission, tossing Angle to the o
