(1) Kazarian beat Brian Kendrick. Great match to start off the night. The X Division has some of the most athletic wrestlers in all of pro wrestling and these two had some of the best moves of the night.

(2) Global champion Rob Terry beat Orlando Jordan. Rob Terry was the fan favorite.

(3) Knockouts champion Angelina Love beat Velvet Sky (w/Madison Rayne). The Beautiful People tried to double-team Angelina, but to no avail. Interestingly, both Velvet and Angelina received lots of cheers.

(4) "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero beat Desmond Wolfe. Lots of "U-S-A" chants. "The Pope" played to the crowd after Wolfe made fun of them.

(5) Jeff Jarrett & Abyss beat Beer Money (James Storm & Robert Roode). The match had great crowd interaction, as Beer Money knocked a beer out of a fan's hand. Jarrett made the hot tag to Abyss, which got a great pop, before the finish.

(6) Kurt Angle beat Mr. Anderson. A funny moment happened when Anderson went to grab his microphone from the ceiling, but nothing came down, so Jeremy Borash ran up behind him to lower a microphone into his hand. Mr. Anderson had lots of heat after making fun of the crowd. Kurt Angle got a great ovation when he entered the ring. In terms of in-ring work, this match, along with Kazarian vs. Brian Kendrick, really stood out.

After the match, Angle thanked the crowd for supporting TNA and said that TNA fans are the most dedicated and loyal fans in pro-wrestling.

Notes: During intermission, the Beautiful People signed autographs at the merchandise table. They were extremely nice to all of the fans. After the show, they had the usual opportunity to get a picture with Kurt Angle for $20. Kazarian, Brian Kendrick, Rob Terry, Earl Hebner, and Jeremy Borash also signed autographs ringside after the show. All of them were very friendly. Abyss and Earl Hebner then signed autographs at the merchandise table after the show. Overall, I believe TNA house shows are a great value for the money and I highly recommend checking out a show.
