TNA PPV Notes

----Longtime Rioter Dan Lark was at the TNA PPV this past weekend and he sent along the following...

As expected it has highly papered, but attendance was around 3500 according to the box office. Dark matches:

1. Curry Man def. Two local DJs
2. Sonjay Dutt and Consequences Creed beat Rock and Rave Infection (w/o Christy Hemme - must not have been the plane ticket) when Creed pin Rave. Lots of heat and Creed got a really good pop as he's local.

The crowd was really pissed off about the Commission not allowing the Mesias/Abyss match to take place. Whenever the Commission was mentioned there was tremendous heat. Lots of VERY loud "Bullshit!" chants for the finish of the Roode/Booker T match. It cheapened Booker. Kong is way over and appears to be developing a following.

Biggest Pops:
1. Jay Lethal (who singlehandedly stole the the show)
2. Booker T.
3. Consequences Creed (local and somewhat expected)
4. Somoa Joe
5. Eric Young

Biggest Heat:
1. SC State Athletic Commission (no real surprise)
2. Angle
3. Robert Roode (and not in a good way, considering the match finish)

Surprisingly they didn't hype nor even mention the Aiken, SC house show.
