TNA house show results

Windsor, Ont., Canada
Report by Remo Agostino, PWTorch reader
The show started with A.J. Styles cutting an anti-Canada promo. Great heat on Styles. Nobody from Canada is allowed backstage. The Pope's music hit to the delight of the crowd and out comes Dinero. Pope cut an excellent coronation promo and challenged A.J. Styles to a match to decide whether Canadian fans are allowed backstage.
(1) The Pope beat A.J. Styles. 'Wow' first match of the night. Both wrestlers got excellent reactions from the fans. Good ten-minute match with Dinero rolling up Styles for the win.
Earl Hebner came out to "You screwed Bret" chants. He mimicked Bret's entrance to a chorus of boos.
(2) Knockouts champion Angelina Love beat Madison Rayne to retain the Knockouts Title. Love got a nice reaction. She's from Toronto, of course. The women put on a great show. Hebner got involved trying to kiss Rayne, then Love rolled up Rayne for the win.
(3) Kazarian beat Suicide. A.J. Styles came out and low-blowed Suicide, allowing Kazarian to hit his finisher on Suicide for the win. Good match, but the crowd never really got into it.
Borash came out to check on the crowd and the energy was still terrific. He asked the crowd to stick around for some surprises after the show.
(4) Mr. Anderson beat Jeff Jarrett. Huge reaction for both wrestlers. No mic dropped for Kennedy, so Borash gave him one. They played it for comedy and the crowd loved it. Mr. Anderson finished Jarrett with a variation of the Stroke. Afterward, Anderson grabbed the mic and thanked Jarrett for being in the ring with him. They hugged. Heart-warming, but I would have preferred blood. Anderson brought out a little girl from the crowd and she did the Mr. Anderson promo. Awesome job.
(5) Matt Morgan beat Rhino. Rhino got the hometown pop from Detroit, of course. There were "Let's go Rhino" chants everywhere. Morgan did a great job as a heel egging on Rhino and the crowd. Morgan eventually defeated Rhino.
(6) TNA tag champions Motor City Machineguns (Chris Sabin & Alex Shelley) beat Beer Money (Robert Roode & James Storm) to retain the TNA Tag Titles with Kurt Angle as special enforcer. Great match by both teams. These guys are work horses. The referee was knocked out and Angle stepped in for the two count. A.J. and Kazarian came out. Awesome action everywhere. Machineguns eventually won by flying body press. It was the match of the night.
Angle thanked everyone for supporting TNA and thanked the crowd. The big surprise is $20 gets you in the ring with Kurt Angle and the Guns. Keep in mind Rhino and the Guns are hometown boys with Windsor just across the border from Detroit.
Great show, overall, with 1,500-2,000 in attendance.
