I walked up and got a $16 ticket that &#8220;just opened up.&#8221; I estimate less than 2,000 fans in attendance. A picture of my seat is below.<\/p>\n<p>Jeremy Borash hosted. Lots of energy from JB&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>(1) Hernandez beat Joseph Park. Both were over.<\/p>\n<p>(2) Knockouts champion ODB beat Lei&#8217;d Tapa. (Who?)<\/p>\n<p>(3) X Division champion Manik beat Eric Young to retain the X Division Title. In the beginning, it was all comedy.<\/p>\n<p>(4) TNA tag champions Gunner &amp; James Storm beat Kazarian &amp; Christopher Daniels. Good match with a lot of double-teaming. Bad Influence worked the mic before the match and Storm worked the mike after the match. Second best match.<\/p>\n<p>[Intermission included fans who won backstage passes to meet TNA Superstars.]<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-4268431792\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>(5) Austin Aries beat Bobby Roode. Both worked extremely hard. Roode played total heel. Best match of the night.<\/p>\n<p>(6) TNA World Hvt. champion Bully Ray pinned Samoa Joe to retain the TNA World Title. Lots of heat for Bully. Bully tapped out during a ref bump, then used a chain to knock out Joe.<\/p>\n<p>Afterward, Joe ducked a belt shot and kicked Bully in the back of his head. Joe held up the TNA World Title belt over his head to close the show. Then, they sold a picture with Joe at ringside &#8220;with your entire group, no matter how many,&#8221; for $20.<\/p>\n<p>Notes: Overall a good show. Everyone worked hard&#8230; I wore a TNA Impact t-shirt I bought on their website, same one I wore at Bound for Glory last year in Phoenix&#8230; I saw James Storm, told him he &#8220;does a good job,&#8221; and he barely acknowledged me&#8230; There was a table full of merchandise. Lots of shirts, action figures, and Knockouts wall banners&#8230; Only a few signs, nothing special&#8230; A kid sitting near me with his Dad\/Grandfather was 4-years-old and covered his ears the entire time. Another kid was disappointed that Jeff Hardy wasn&#8217;t here.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>RECOMMENDED NEXT:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2023\/09\/22\/10-yrs-ago-wwe-smackdown-report-9-20-2013-the-shield-naomi-a-j-lee-usos-ryback-ziggler-rvd-alberto-vickie-heyman-more\/\">10 YRS AGO \u2013 WWE Smackdown Report (9-20-2013): The Shield, Naomi, A.J.
