context_page_description: Against All Odds (2008) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling promotion, which took place on February 10, 2008 at the BI-LO Center in Greenville, South Carolina. It was the fourth event under the Against All Odds chronology and the second event in the 2008 TNA PPV schedule. Nine professional wrestling matches were featured on the event's card, four of which involved championships, while two matches were held prior to the event.
  The main event was for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship with Samoa Joe as Special Outside Enforcer between then-champion Kurt Angle and the challenger Christian Cage. Angle ended up winning the bout, thus retaining the championship. Jay Lethal and The Motor City Machine Guns fought Johnny Devine and Team 3D in a Six Man Tag Team Street Fight on the card. Lethal and The Motor City Machine Guns won the encounter. A Barbed Wire Massacre between Abyss and Judas Mesias was held at Against All Odds, which Abyss won. Booker T fought Robert Roode to a double countout in another highly promoted match for the event.
context_section_description: There were no major issues suffered from the Barbed Wire Massacre. It was reported after the event that there were issues ordering the show in the Australian market.
  On the February 14, 2008, episode of Impact!, Tomko announced he attacked Christian Cage at the event because he no longer wanted an alliance with Cage and felt he could become a star on his own. Tomko then joined The Angle Alliance later on the same episode. On the February 21, 2008, episode of Impact!, it was revealed a Six-Man Tag Team match pitting the team of Cage, Samoa Joe, and Kevin Nash against The Angle Alliance (Kurt Angle, A.J. Styles, and Tomko) was planned for the Destination X PPV event on March 9, 2008. At Destination X, Cage, Joe, and Nash under The Unlikely Alliance moniker defeated The Angle Alliance.
  Following Against All Odds, Team 3D were forced to weigh in before each contest, which created a feud with the team of Curry Man and Shark Boy, leading to a Fish Market Street Fight between the two teams, with the stipulation that if Team 3D could not make weight they would be fired from TNA. At the event, Management Director Jim Cornette announced that if Team 3D made weight that night they would not have to abide by a weight restriction henceforth. Team 3D marked in below the mark prior to the contest; however eventually lost the encounter.
  At Destination X, Robert Roode fought Booker T in a Stand By Your Man Strap match. Cornette announced on the February 14 episode of Impact!, that Booker T and Roode would face in another match at Destination X. On the March 6, 2008, episode of Impact!, Cornette announced that Booker T and Roode would face in a Stand By Your Man Strap match, in which if Booker T won then Traci Brooks would be allowed to beat Payton Banks with a strap ten times and vice versa. Roode won the bout at Destination X. After the contest, Sharmell returned from injury attacking Roode and Banks. This resulted in an Intergender Tag Team Six Sides of Steel Cage match at TNA's Lockdown PPV event on April 13, 2008 pitting Roode and Banks against Booker T and Sharmell, which the later team won.
  TNA held the second-ever Elevation X match at Destination X between Rhino and James Storm. On the February 14 episode of Impact!, Rhino challenged Storm to the contest at the event. On the February 28, 2008, episode of Impact!, Storm defeated Young to win the TNA World Beer Drinking Championship in a Ladder match. Rhino stole the championship belt on the March 6, 2008 episode of Impact! and destroyed it by bashing it against a ring post, thus ending the storyline over the title between Storm and Young. Rhino was the victor in the encounter at the event.
  After winning the TNA X Division Championship at Against All Odds, Jay Lethal went on to defend the title against Petey Williams at Destination X. Lethal retained the title at the event. However, the storyline between Steiner and Williams continued after Against All Odds, with the two creating a partnership, in which Steiner gave Williams the TNA X Division Feast or Fired Title shot, which Williams used on the April 17, 2008 episode of Impact! to win the title. Meanwhile, Steiner went on to use the TNA World Heavyweight Feast or Fired Title shot at TNA's Sacrifice PPV event on May 11, 2008, in a losing effort against then-champion Samoa Joe and Kaz in a 3-Way Dance.
  After Against All Odds, the feud between Abyss and Judas Mesias ended, with Abyss disappearing from TNA after the February 14 episode of Impact!, when he removed his mask and left the arena. Abyss returned at TNA's Slammiversary PPV event on June 6, 2008 in new attire still wearing a mask.
  In October 2017, with the launch of the Global Wrestling Network, the event became available to stream on demand.
