SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...
PWTorch features unmatched archives of live wrestling reports (not just results, but match details, context, and analysis). The following is a report originally published here 20 years ago this week…
TNA Live Event Results
August 12, 2006
Anderson, S.C.
Report by Daniel Lark, PWTorch.com correspondent
Estimated Attendance: 250
Ring Announcer: Jeremy Borash
(1) Brother Runt pin Petey Williams. Not a bad match, but for two guys who can work this was below average. Disappointing
(2) Chris Sabin & Jay Lethal defeated Diamonds in the Rough when Sabin pinned Young. Best match of the night, even with blown spots. Above-average.
(3) Abyss pin Ron Killings. No James Mitchell. Killings tried. Abyss might be a monster, but he moves slowly. Dud.
(4) Eric Young pin B.G. James. James Gang did the whole DX intro thing complete with old ring names. Match was done for comedy with Young doing a complete babyface routine. James Gang worked mostly heel. By the way, does this mean they’re going to push Young? Funny interchange between B.G. and Kip:
BG: To the guy who bought the James Gang t-shirt and then booed us during the match, thanks for $20.
Kip: Uhhh, we only get $2 from that 20.
BG: I guess we’ll see you at Wal-mart after the show.

(5) Samoa Joe defeated Bobby Roode via submission (looked like an STF, but I couldn’t tell from my angle). Roode did an incredible amount of stalling. He did play well off of the “Joe’s Gonna Kill You” chants. Never quite sync’d in the ring.
(6) A.J. Styles & Christopher Daniels defeated The Naturals when Styles pinned Andy Douglas. No Shane Douglas. Naturals worked as heels. Spent most of the match working the hot tag against Daniels. Finish saw Brian Hebner get jumped by Daddy Earl in ref’s attire. Earl then played heel ref and got bumped. A third ref came out and finished the match. *Funny line from A.J. post match: “I want to let know you that I attended Anderson College (this is legit), and I am still paying off student loans. So Chris and I will be signing 8×10’s over at the table.
NOTES: No Steiner. Venue is on the smaller side, so 250 was actually not bad. From what I gather they are planning on running S.C. on a somewhat regular basis.
Biggest Pops:
1. Styles and Daniels
2. Samoa Joe
3. Eric Young
4. James Gang
Most Heat
1. Earl Hebner’s run-in (by far)
2. Bobby Roode
