In the opener, Petey Williams defeated Sonjay Dutt. Very good match. These two guys definitely know how to work a crowd!
Curry Man defeated Kip James in another good match. After the match Curry Man got a kid out of the crowd and put him in the ring and they danced around the ring for a couple of minutes.
Angelina Love w/Velvet Sky defeated ODB. Very good women's match. After the match Kip James came to the ring and ODB put a claw hold on his - um - jewelry box and he quickly bailed. She then put some hury on Angelina & Velvet and they also bailed. The TNA knockouts are one of the reasons I am a TNA fan. Velvet Sky & Angelina Love are just that - knockouts - they are gorgeous! ODB is - well - she is what she is....
Rhino defeated Sheik Abdul Bashir in a very good match.
TNA Tag Team Champions Beer Money, Inc. (Robert Rood & James Storm) defeated Consequences Creed & Eric Young to retain the belts.
The main event was a three way elimination match, "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner vs. Abyss vs. "The Phenominal" AJ Styles. Abyss eliminated Steiner by pin fall, leaving Abyss & Styles. They battled for about 10 minutes, until AJ Styles won the match by pin fall. After the match Styles called Abyss back to the ring. He said that like himself, Abyss had been with TNA just about from the beginning, and had given his blood, sweat, & Tears for the success of the company. He then said thank you to Abyss, and the two shook hands.
Abyss & Styles stayed in the ring to pose for pictures with the fans, at $20.00 a pop. The line was very long. I would not be surprised to hear that they were there for an hour or more after the show taking pictures.
TNA also brought all the stars out after the main event for an autograph party with the fans.
Attendance was approx. 1200.
It was a great show. There were no bad matches. The crowd was hot and into the show from beginning to end. I was amazed at just how fan oriented and fan friendly TNA is.

----I sthis crazy or what?? TNA draws 1200 fans?? All the groups combined in this area have a hard time doing that in one weekend. It is proof that you should not even run house shows in this area unless you have TV!!
