TNA in Cincinnati, Oh.
Report by Dot Net reader Marc Holland

1. Lethal Consequences defeated Team No Limit. Good opener fast X division action.

2. Sharkboy over Brutus Magnus. Sharkboy was over big time as he should be in the hometown.

3. Taylor Wilde and Roxxi defeated Madison Rayne and Jacqueline. Typical stuff from them.

4. Booker T over Shane Sewell. Booker worked the match as a face after talking about his past tag partners and mentioning Test.

INTERMISSION

5. Abyss beat Matt Morgan. Good match really with the exception of one stupid spot with Abyss going for the old earthquake sit down splash on a chair. Morgan took it and turned it and gave Abyss a nut shot. Totally stupid.

6. Robert Roode defeated Eric Young. This was scheduled to be for the TNA Tag gold, but Storm played the hurt angle and they made it a one-on-one with the belts on the line. The finish came when Young had Roode up for the DVD and the ref was distracted by Rhyno and Storm fighting. Jackie hit the low blow and Roode covered for the win. After the match, Rhyno gored Roode to make us happy.

7. Samoa Joe defeated Kurt Angle. Typical Joe Angle match with Joe getting the win with the musclebuster. The real story was after the match. Kurt got on the mic and thanked us all for spending our hard earned money and for the support the fans gave, which got him a huge standing ovation.

Notes: There were more people than last June. here is a brief rundown of the show. I have to say that really it was a good show by TNA. I have wanted to see Angle work a match for years and I was pleased.

Most over (in no real order)
Booker T
Sharkboy
Kurt Angle

Most Heat
Brutus Magnus (because he really cannot work. He is too green)
Beer Money
Shane Sewell (worked heel and did well at it)
