26th Jan 2010 - Bournemouth International Centre, Dorset, England.
The very upper balcony of the venue has no-one sitting there at all, so one
assumes that they never offered tickets here. Rest of the venue is about 85%
full. This is TNA's first visit to Dorset and the South West of England.
Signs around the place saying Bobby Lashley will NOT be here.
Show opens with some guy who I don't know, who introduces JB. JB does the
usual spiel about the loudest person and getting backstage tickets etc.
He's interrupted by the British Invasion, who initially get mixed reaction
until they say they're proud to be home.....until they change their minds on
this and decide England sucks. It's unfortunate they can't play faces in
their own country.
Chris Saben vs Amazing Red vs Suicide
Number one contenders for the X-Division. Suicide gets a good pop.
Winner : Chris Saben
Eric Young Vs Hamada
TNA Global Championship
Earl Hebner comes out strutting his stuff.
Eric comes out and bores us a little, telling us that his championship will
never be contested on US soil or against an American, so out comes Hamada to
a nice pop. All in all, not a bad match, but one could see that EY had to
hold off being to rough with Hamada.
Winner : Eric Young
Rhino vs Pope
Rhino gets all the attention, even when he tells us he doesn't care for it.
Gradually the crowd comes around for Pope who takes the win.
Winner : Pope
Four Way Tag Match
British Invasion vs Beer Money vs Team 3D vs Hernandez/Kurt Angle
Beer Money gets a nice Beer - Money chant going. Team 3D arrive through the
crowd with a ladder. Hernandez comes out and announces that Matt Morgan
can't make it - so his partner is Kurt Angle. Huge pop. Angle gets the win.
It's hilarious when Ray states that he heard "Bournemouth was the most
hardcore city in England." Ehm, Bournemouth? It's a town and hardly
hardcore.....! Thanks for the pop though.
Winner : Hernandez and Kurt Angle
After, Big Rob hangs around looking grumpy. He gets a table out and spends
an hour setting it up....in the mean time, 3D recover and Rob is finally put
through a table in the laziest, least well executed section ever. Of course,
this is leading up to 3D giving away bits of the table to two kids - Tommy
and some other kid with a wicked Mohican...who Ray calls 'Johnny Rotten'.
Beer Money come back out and have beer. 3D aren't pleased, so they steal
someone's beer from the audience. More challenges to the audience to be
louder and have a party with 3D/Beer Money backstage.
Intermission.
The Beautiful People(Sky/Rayne) put in an appearance at the bar to sign
merchandise. Man, they small, but pretty...
Daniels vs Samoa Joe
"I Quit" match.
"Joe's gonna kill you"
Lots of good back and forth, but Joe gets the win.
Winner : Samoa Joe
The Beautiful People(Sky/Rayne) vs Sarita and Taylor Wilde
Audience fairly quiet, but most men were probably grinning and rubbing their
legs...there's some attempt by the two teams to upstage each other in the
"we're sexiest" bumping and grinding on the ropes.
Sarita and Taylor mostly have the upper hand, but TBP get the win at the
end. Sarita tells us that it's Taylor's birthday today, so we all sing Happy
Birthday to her.
Winner : TBP
Desmond Wolfe vs AJ Styles
TNA Heavyweight Championship
No pop for Des, until it's announced he's from England. AJ gets massive pop.
Nice match, but AJ has the upper hand most of the time and gets the win.
After a while, chants start for Wolfe and by the end, it's 50/50 chants for
both. AJ says "You're all here for TNA, you think it's about TNA, well, it's
not, it's about AJ Styles."
Winner : AJ Styles
JB thanks us for coming. I guess Bubba the Love Sponge was talking bulls*it
when he said Borash was gone....
