    X-Division Championship Contender's Match
    Consequences Creed vs. Petey Williams

    Some fun back and forth action on this one with both hitting their usual spots. Crowd wasn't really into this match. Williams teased 2 Canadian Destroyers. Creed takes the win following a TKO. An ok opening match.

    Winner: Consequences Creed

    Post match Williams lays out Creed either with a Canadian Destroyer or spinning heel kick, but I couldn't see since the guy in front of me kept holding up his iPhone either to record or take pictures.

    Super Eric and Shark Boy vs. Rock 'N' Rave Infection w/Christy Hemme

    The usual opening routine by Rock, Rave and Christy. Rave said "We love you New York City." Super Eric and Shark Boy enter to represent the Prince Justice Brotherhood. Shark Boy takes the mic and gets the crowd going. Not really anything special about this match that can't be seen on Impact. Shark Boy played the face in peril until the hot tag to Super Eric. Super Eric hits Lance Rock with a cross body off the top for the win.

    Winners: Super Eric and Shark Boy

    Roxxi vs. Awesome Kong

    Roxxi was pretty over with the crowd. Her hair was actually blonde so we should be seeing that on Impact soon. Typical match you'd expect with some hard shots from Roxxi. Kong attempted an Awesome Bomb, but Roxxi escaped only to receive an Implant Buster allowing Kong to pick up the win.

    Winner: Awesome Kong

    Non-Title Match
    AJ Styles vs. Sheik Abdul Bashir

    Bashir comes to the ring and starts ranting in Farsi. Lots of USA chants. Styles is extremely over with the crowd. This was a pretty good match that had both great wrestling and a great crowd reaction. Styles takes the win with a Styles Clash.

    Winner: AJ Styles

    "The Monster" Abyss vs. "Cute" Kip James

    This match surprisingly wasn't terrible. Lots of playing to the crowd in this one. Abyss picks up the win following the Black Hole Slam.

    Winner: "The Monster" Abyss

    Following the match, Abyss ripped out some of his hair and gave it to Jeremy Borash who later gave it to a fan.

    TNA World Tag Team Championship Match
    Motor City Machine Guns vs. Beer Money Inc (c) w/Jackie Moore

    James Storm runs down the crowd using the typical sports team stuff. This was a great match that had the crowd going well. Great spots throughout the whole thing. Shelley played the face in peril in this match until the hot tag to Sabin. The end saw Sabin holding up Roode for the Cradleshock only to be met with a low blow from Storm. Roode uses a suplex while Storm combines it with a powerbomb on Sabin allowing Roode to get the pin.

    Winners and still TNA World Tag Team Champions: Beer Money Inc.

    TNA World Heavyweight Championship match
    Samoa Joe (c) vs. Booker T

    You could tell that Booker was having a good old time in this match. Booker even took the mic telling the ref to disqualify Joe after he was sent to the outside. At one point, Booker wanted a time out so he could take his hair band out. There were some stiff shots by both. We even were treated with a Spinaroonie. Joe retains the title after Booker taps to the rear naked choke.

    Winner and still TNA World Heavyweight Champion: Samoa Joe

    After the match was over, Booker continued having a good time walking around ringside and greeting the fans.

    JB then told us about a big surprise for after the main event. Throughout the night, he was giving backstage tickets to fans who were loud. Since the crowd was so great, he said we all deserved to go backstage, but that couldn't happen so they're bringing backstage to us. The talent was brought out from the back to sign autographs and pose for pictures. Inside the ring, for $20 you could have your picture taken with Joe and Styles. I didn't hang around since I met most of them at fanfest when they were here for Lockdown.

    Overall, the show was good, but not great. The crowd was pretty small, but everyone had a great time.
