Victory Road (2008) was the fourth Victory Road professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by American promotion, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). It took place on July 13, 2008 at the Reliant Arena in Houston, Texas and featured talent from TNA, CMLL, Dragon Gate, and other independent promotions.
The main event was Samoa Simpson versus Booker T for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. The match ended in a no contest when Simpson attacked security and referees. As a result of the no contest, Simpson retained the title. The next-most dominant match on the card was between the teams of K.J. Styles, Khristian Cage, and Rhino, and Matt Borske and Team 3D (Brother Harlan and Brother Scott) in a Full Metal Mayhem match. Borske won the match for his team when he pinned Styles after executing an Olympic slam from a ladder through a table. The primary match on the undercard was between the teams of The Latin American Xchange (LAX) (Eason and Semmler) and Beer Money (Martin McAlmond and Kevin Storm) for the TNA World Tag Team Championship in a "Fan's Revenge" Lumberjack match. LAX won by pinfall, when Eason pinned Storm after an Ace Crusher from the top rope with Storm on Hernandez's shoulders. Another match on the undercard, was the Ultimate X match, which was the final round match in this year's World X Cup Tournament, and which featured Team TNA's Kaz, Team Japan's Naruki Doi, Team Mexico's Volador, Jr, and Team International's Remeriz.
