Sabin def. Suicide in an average opener. Sabin was over pretty well. Hamada def. Daffney in a sub par (for TNA) women’s match. Daffney was far more over even though the crowd reacted to Hamada’s attempts to play face. Generally, as my friend put it, this crowd is basing their reactions on the "who would I rather have sex with" scale. Eric Young cut a heel promo on the crowd making fun of the Phillies. Good in theory but Scranton is a huge Yankees market so it didn’t totally work. THE POPE def. Eric Young. Young has a great early Owen Hart vibe going on that I’m down with. The Amazing Red def. Homicide to retain the X Division Championship. After intermission, Wilde & Sarita def. The Beautiful People to retain the Knockouts Tag Team Championships. In the main event, AJ Styles retained the TNA World Championship over Daniels and Samoa Joe in the best match of the night, though a criminally short one.
After the show they did the same bit as last night, bringing everyone out from the back to pose and charging 20 bucks for pictures in the ring with AJ Styles.
Overall it was a fun show and well worth the $0 I spent to attend. It certainly wasn’t the blow away show that I’ve read other house shows of there’s to be but that’s to be expected in a very small venue with a limited roster on the night before a pay per view. I think everyone there would be willing to attend another TNA show if they came back to the area…and all things considered that has to be a plus for the company.
