The show started with hype from Jeremy Borash.....Bobby Roode came out.....cut a promo....James Storm came out. Roode had great heel heat....Storm was very over.

The crowd was crazy. It felt like an ECW crowd from the 90's.

Kid Kash and Daniels vs. Kendrick and Kazarian
Kendrick got the pin with Sliced Bread #2

A radio guy that isn't me did something for backstage passes.

Crimson vs. Samoa joe
Crimson with a roll up. Joe was very over. Oh well. Joe spent almost all of the match trying to get heel heat....by flipping off the crowd. It never really worked.

Introduction for Earl Hebner. He took off the ref shirt and had on the "damn right I did" shirt.

He reffed a knockouts match.....Winter vs. Mickie James. Mickie dressed like wonder woman.....in a string bikini top. Earl kissed Winter....Mickie with a DDT for the win.....Mickie kissed Earl. That's how mouth herpes spreads.

World Title match...yup before intermission. Bobby Roode vs James Storm. Roode retains with a belt shot. Match was good, but got oddly quiet as this went on. Maybe it is because Roode is Canadian. Just Kidding.

Intermission.....

Abyss vs. RVD. Crappy match RVD wins with frog splash. Worst RVD match I've seen in a long time. Most of the match time was RVD getting the crowd to say "Rob Van Dam". Crowd was very into him but the match was lame.

Second main event time..

Bully Ray vs. Jeff Hardy.
Classic Bubba on the Mic. This was a cleaner version of his ECW mic work where he would challenge members of the crowd to a fight. Cleaner.....but awesome to see live again after all these years. Crappy match....Hardy wins with the Twist ofF fate and a Swanton. Just like the RCD match....all crowd work.....crappy match. Fans went home happy.

As a "treat" Hardy stayed in the ring and took pictures at $20.00 a pop.

So so show.....TNA does a GREAT JOB of going above and beyond for their fans, but does very little with a very talented roster.
