Posted on March 15, 2009 by V.L. Stricklett
Total Nonstop Action returned to Cincinnati, OH last night with their last show before tonight’s TNA: Destination X PPV…and what a night of action it was! If you weren’t there, here is what you missed…
- Lethal Consequences (Consequences Creed & Jay Lethal) defeated No Limits (Tetsuya Naito & Yujiro)
- Shark Boy defeated Brutus Magnus w/ local radio DJ “Meat”
- Taylor Wilde & Roxxi defeated Jacqueline & Madison Rayne
Before the next match Booker T comes out and talks to the crowd. He starts talking about his former tag team partners (Stevie Ray, RVD, etc…) then mentions Test. He says, “I don’t know how many of you have heard, but Test was found dead last night.” This shocked many people in the audience. “This business has taken many friends from me, and many good guys. Test was one of the best. Test & I ran the road together much.” Booker said that he knew what this business was all about, and it was for going out to entertain the fans. He mentions the fact that was always Test’s goal. “So, I just wanted to say how much you meant to me, Test. And that you will never be forgotten.” Booker then held the mic up toward the heaven’s and said “This ass-kicking is for you, Test.”
- Booker T defeated Shane Sewell to retain the TNA Legends Championship
- Abyss hit the Black Hole Slam to defeat Matt Morgan
James Storm comes out next and mentions that he is not cleared to compete tonight. He recently had two surgeries, and the doctor told him it was good news & bad news. He then proceeded to get heat, saying the Bad News wasn’t quite as bad as the Bengals & the good news was he only had to be in Cincinnati for a few hours. JB then reads “a fax he just got during intermission”. It said that James Storm is not cleared to compete tonight, but the Tag Team Titles would be on the line as Robert Roode would face either Eric Young or Rhino, the opponent of James Storm’s choosing. Storm chose Eric Young.
- Robert Roode ends up winning the match with interference from Jackie & his finisher. After the match, the three (Storm, Roode, & Jackie) were posing and Rhino gored Roode as he turned around.
- Samoa Joe defeated Kurt Angle with the Muscle Buster
After the match, Angle talks to the fans and mentions how much he has loved TNA since coming here a couple of years ago. He mentions the high ratings & how much that means to the company. Angle says that it is due to the fans that he comes out every night to perform. He says he can not thank the fans enough for their support, and that he appreciates everyone who came out to tonight’s event.
Angle stayed and took photos with fans in the ring after the show. There were MANY people in line, and I’m sure it took a good couple hours. Great to see Angle do that.
TNA put on a great show. Former TNA Superstar “Wildcat” Chris Harris was in attendance, and he watched the whole show from the blocked part of the stand. He chatted with James Storm around the middle of the show in the stands. Earl Hebner and others were spotted visiting with ‘Cat throughout the night.
