6/14 TNA in Coventry, England: Jeff Jarrett makes a rare appearance, Dixie Carter mingles with fans, Samoa Joe vs. Booker T

TNA house show report
Coventry, England
Report by Craig Beavis

The arena was a total sellout. TNA have two screens set up on the stage, about five cameras set up all around the arena and the lighting was fantastic, unlike a WWE house show.
 
Someone introduced "JB" Jeremy Borash to emcee the event. He thanked us all for coming and offered free backstage passes to the loudest fans.
 
1. Motor City Machine Guns over Robert Roode and James Storm. A great back and forth match.

More of JB warming up the crowd and saying how hot the crowd was.

2. A.J. Styles over Black Machismo and Doug Williams. Possibly the best match of the night.

More JB handing out backstage passes, Dixie Carter shows up and says we were there best crowd ever and says there coming back next year! They also filmed TNA Today.

3. Awesome Kong over Gail Kim to retain the TNA Knockouts Title. They almost crashed through JBs Laptop at ringside (it was controlling the music and the lights) He sh-- a brick! OK match.

I think this is when they showed us the trailer for TNA Impact the video game.

4. Abyss over Rhino. Another solid match.

JB brought out Kurt Angle, who put over the crowd. He said TNA will be the best and thanked Jeff Jarrett. He called out a reluctant Jeff out and dedicates this tour to Jeff's late wife. Jeff thanked everyone while receiving a standing ovation.

5. LAX over Petey Williams and Sonjay Dutt. What a great match all the usual hernandez high flying. but no Canadian Destroyer!

JB makes the ring announcing for the Main Event.

6. Samoa Joe beat Booker T via submission to retain the TNA Title. Samoa Joe was over with the crowd. Chants of 'OLE OLE' broke out whenever he had the upper hand. You could tell Booker T was the ring general in this match.
 
The show was five star. Booker stole it with his comedy. He said before his match "Thank you for coming to see us..... Now you've seen my locker room on TV, well, this one don't have a door... buy my merchandise." That's when we all booed him.
 
Jeff Jarrett was really emotional when speaking about his wife. When we gave him applause. No one cheered. We just clapped for about 5 minutes.
 
Dixie Carter, was brilliant. She was sitting in the crowd for most of the show. I met her at the end we both said thank you. She asked if I had a good time and I said yes. Then she had her photo taken with me and my brother Justin. She shook my dad's hand for taking the photo. She's a class act! 
 
Biggest pops; Jeff Jarrett, Kurt Angle, AJ Styles, Booker T and JB.

Most Heat; Booker T, Sonjay Dutt, Petey Williams, James Storm and Robert Roode.
 
I've been to  four WWE Shows and this one was better by far, much better production than WWE house shows. I would definitely go again!
