TNA house show report 10-31 Ontario, CA


Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrint

The TNA roster put on a great show.  Every match was a good one. 


The show started at 8 with a triple threat between Sonjay Dutt, Consequences Creed, and Hiroshi Tanahashi.  It was a 10 minute back and forth affair with Tanahashi pinning Creed, I believe following a frog splash.

The second matchw as thee xtremely over LAX vs. Curry Man and Super Eric of the Prince Justice Brotherhood.  No Shark Boy, no double DVD, but we didn't need them.  LAX won after hitting the Doomsday Device.

In the only women's match of the night, Awesome Kong pinned Roxxi with the implant buster.  Kong was gargantuan in person. 

In the second best match of the night, California's own Samoa Joe pinned Christian with the muscle buster.  Joe kicked out after an Unprettier and Christian escaped a Coquina Clutch before the finish.

*Intermission*

The previously announced Tag Team Title match took place following intermission.  After trying to avoid putting up the titles, Team 3D (playing faces) talked them into it.  3D had the crowd eating out of their hands the entire time.  One funny spot saw Jackie land face first in Storm's crotch and then Roode got behind her and simulated the act of riding her like a bull.  Beer Money retained after Jackie pulled the ref out following a 3D and Storm interfered to give them the win.

The main event was Kurt Angle vs. A.J. Styles and was the match of the night.  Both men countered and kicked out of each otehr's finishers and A.J. pulled out the win with a series of reversals finishing with a Styles Clash.

After the show, Angle cut a face promo thanking the crowd, saying "TNA might not have the most fans, but it has the best ones."  While Angle posed for $20 photos in the ring, several wrestlers walked around ringside signing autographs and posing for pictures. Consequences Creed and both members of LAX were extremely cool.  Curry Man was hilarious.  My camera wouldn't work when attempting to get a pic with Roxxi, but she was very sweet nonetheless.  Sonjay Dutt and Eric Young posed but seemed out of it.  Samoa Joe skipped all us guys to only take photos with girls.  I know for a fact that he ahd friends there, but he ignored a lot of people which lost him some fans.

All in all, it was a great show- one of the best I've been to.  I hope the poor turnout doesn't dissuade TNA from coming out here again in the future.

Hey Dave,


This was a much more fan friendly show than any WWE show we have been to in the past. 


As for the results: 

Hiroshi Tanahashi beat Sonjay Dutt and Consequences Creed in a 3-way

Lax defeated The Prince Justice Brotherhood Super Eric and Curry Man

Awesome Kong defeated Roxxi

Samoa Joe beat Christian

Beer Money beat Team 3D

AJ Styles defeated Joe in the match of the night.

After the show was over Jeremy Borash  brought out a lot of the roster to meet and greet the fans while Kurt Angle stayed in the ring to take pictures with the fans. Every wrestler we met tonight was very nice, autographed everything the fans wanted and took pictures with anybody who asked. All in all this is the best house show that we have been to in the last five years.

We strongly urge you to go and see TNA if they are in your town, you will not be disappointed.
