~TNA held their Pay-Per-View Event from Norfolk, VA, last night. I'd say the show definetely had its moments and other times where just painfully dull. Here's what went down:
-Homicide & Hernandez (The Latin American Exchange) beat Jimmy Rave & Lance Hoyt (The Rock & Rave Infection) and Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin (The Motor City Machine Guns) in a sick match to become the #1 contenders for the TNA Tag Team Titles.
-“Black Machismo” Jay Lethal remains TNA X-Division Champion after beating Petey Williams.
-Kaz gets beat on for the majority of his match with Rellik & Black Reign after his tag partner, Eric Young, abandons him in the middle of the match. However, Young returns as “Super” Eric Young and wins the match for his team.
-TNA Women’s Champion Awesome Kong continues on a roll and defeats ODB and Gail Kim in a three way match to retain her title.
-Before the Team 3D/Shark Boy & Curry Man match, Brother Ray and Brother Devon have to weigh in under 275 lbs. or they’ll be fired. Both members of Team 3D make weight so they keep their jobs and are able to start their match.
-Shark Boy & Curry Man defeat Team 3D in a “Fish Market Street Fight”. Right. After the match, Team 3D shove some guy from Survivor who’s at ringside. Security hauls the guy away even though he did absolutely nothing.
-Robert Roode beats Booker T. Because of this, Traci Brooks, who accompanied Booker to the ring, has to receive 10 “lashes” from a leather strap by Roode’s assistant, Peyton Banks.
-Peyton Banks whips Traci Brooks with the leather strap 10 times, and then she whips her some more. Robert Roode even takes a shot.
-Eventually, Sharmell, Booker T’s wife, who had her jaw broken by Roode a few months back, makes her return to TNA and starts hit Roode, Banks and everyone in sight with a leather strap.
-Rhino kicks James Storm off Elevation X to win their match.
-Samoa Joe, Kevin Nash & Christian Cage defeat TNA World Champion, Kurt Angle and TNA World Tag Team Champions, AJ Styles & Tomko in a six man tag match.
That opening tag match was just fire and it was a great choice as an opener. Who knew Hernandez could fly over the top rope like that.
Speaking of that tag match, the Motor City Machine Guns have got to have some of the best double team moves in wrestling today.
Who cares if Petey Williams only knows one move, I know if I could only do one move, it would be the Canadian Destroyer.
“Super” Eric Young is now my new favorite TNA gimmick.
Kong wins again, she’s a monster.
Seriously, whose idea was it to make the Team 3D/Shark Boy & Curry Man match a “fish market street fight”. There is a thin line between something that’s silly and funny and something that’s silly and ridiculous. Guess which one this falls under. Well, I really shouldn't talk since I just said "Super" Eric Young was my new favorite TNA gimmick.
For a match that was billed as providing so much excitement, the Elevation X match with Rhino and James Storm was, hands down, the most boring match on the card. Yes, the concept is different and unique for TNA but if you’re gonna be different and unique, do something so it’s watchable.
I know I said if I could only know how to do one move it would be the Canadian Destroyer but I’d say AJ Styles’ Spiral Tap is a close second.
The crowd was so hyped after the first two or three matches and after that, they were just dead. I’ve never seem an event where the crowd starts out so hot and the show’s main attraction (Elevation X) and main event (the six man tag) take them out of the show completely. That’s just sad.
