Welcome to our live coverage of TNA's Turning Point PPV.  We're looking for your live thoughts on the show, so you can leave a thumbs up, thumbs down or thumbs in the middle along with a best and worst match to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

We're opening with the X Division rankings match.  Consequences Creed, Sonjay Dutt, Petey Williams, Jimmy Rave, Volador Jr., Eric Young, Doug Williams, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Homicide and Jay Lethal.

It should be noted that Scott Hall is at the show tonight.  From a timing standpoint of the storyline, it does make sense, but from a timing standpoint of Scott Hall and his track record here and given the history when they use Hall, Jake etc., it also comes off as total desperation

Announced at the show is TNA is doing its 1/11 PPV, Genesis, in Charlotte at the Cricket Arena. 

Order of elimination, and rankings were Dutt, Volador Jr., Rave, Homicide, Creed, Petey Williams, Tanahashi and Doug Williams.  It came down to Young vs. Lethal with Young winning with a Northern Lights suplex.  Good match.  At some point when there were good moves the crowd was into it, but not as much as you'd probably hope for.

Eric Young is now giving a history lesson saying they are wrestlers, not showmen or entertainers.  It was supposed to be the big babyface pep talk saying the best chapter of TNA starts tonight and the kids become men.  The crowd isn't into the babyfaces as much as they should be, but are you surprised?

Awesome Kong & Raisha Saeed vs. Taylor Wilde & Roxxi

Wilde pinned Saeed with a German suplex.  Wilde looked good here. 

Jeff Jarrett went into the Mafia's dressing room.  Jeff told them to be professional and not let it get out of hand.  Angle confronted Jeff and called him a has-been.  Angle told Jeff to grow some balls and stormed out. 

Rhino vs. Sheik Abdul Bashir is up.    

Weird match.  Bashir was distracted by ref Shane Sewell after Bashir spit in Sewell's face and Rhino gored him.  Insane Clown Posse and Scott Hall among others were at ringside and Bashir shoved and slapped one of them and they earlier had thrown a drink into the ring.  It was weird because Mike Tenay and Don West never identified them, just saying there are familiar faces there.  I mean, guys dressed up as clowns kind of are noticeable.  Fans were chanting "Razor" and it did take away from interest in the match. 

Mick Foley in the babyfaces dressing room doing a pep talk while Sabin & Shelley paid no attention to him and showed him no respect.  Foley didn't want to believe that everything Sting was saying was true.  Shelly insulted Foley and Creed & Lethal went after Sabin & Shelley and Petey Williiams booted them out of the dressin grom.  Styles apologized.

Beer Money vs. Motor City Machine guns for tag titles are next. 

Very good math.  Beer Money is super underrated as a tag team.  In the end, James Storm spit beer into Chris Sabin's face  and then they used the DWI, a combination diamond cutter and power bomb on Sabin with Roode pinning Sabin.

Booker T vs. Christian Cage for the Legends title is next.

Booker won with a rolling with a rolling reverse cradle holding the trunks.  Average match.  Christian is now a member of the Main Event Mafia.  Booker dropped his accent when telling Christian he needs to show up at 8 a.m.  tomorrow for a meeting.

Kurt Angle vs. The Monster Abyss falls count anywhere is next.

Fantastic match.  Finish saw Angle knock Abyss off scaffolding through the Spanish announcers table for the pin.  The scaffolding was actually only four feet above the table.  They brawled all over, each kicked out of the others' finishers.  Among the highlights were Angle coming off the stage with a somersault splash on him as well as near the end he did a moonsault onto a chair on Abyss.  Each also threw the other through a wall.   Crowd was going nuts from start-to-finish. 

Samoa Joe vs. Kevin Nash is next.  How they'll follow the last match is beyond me. 

Actually really good match as well.  Joe kicked out of two jackknife power bombs as well as being rammed into the exposed metal turnbuckle five times, but Nash finally got the pin after ref Rudy Charles went down, using a low blow and pin using the ropes. 

Sting vs. A.J. Styles for the TNA title ends the show.

Crowd was super hot for this one.  Angle and Booker came out to distract Styles.  Styles missed the Pele kick and Sting scored the pin with the Oklahoma side roll.  Show ended with Main Event Mafia celebrating.

Guess Hall was only there as a spectator.

Storyline is the Main Event Mafia won every match.  If you don't mind heels winning every key match, this was a very good show, reminiscent of the old days of TNA PPVs.
