Real good match which was great in spots. Some of the sequences here were out of this world with lots of insane spots. Everyone worked their asses off here.
Guerrero did a promo on the ramp after saying they promised to win tonight and did. He said he was dedicating it to Eddie Guerrero.

Good match. They worked hard and had a decent back and forth match. It's nuts how much Tessmacher has worked to improve in recent months. Tara seemed really motivated here.
Tara said that she bets everyone did this for her but she did it for her sweet Hollywood boyfriend. She said that we've probably seen him on TMZ and said he was bigger than George and Leonardo and Brad Pitt. It was Jesse Godderz from Big Brother, who has been training in OVW. Godderz got in the ring and made out with Tara. The crowd chanted, "Who are you?" Not a bad way to introduce Godderz but the way it was pushed, you would have thought they had a name coming in. At least it wasn't Scott Baio!
They aired clips from the TNA Hall of Fame. Why is Hulk Hogan in a t-shirt???
