I just got home from the TNA PPV.
Here are some thoughts:
Dark Match - 5:30 PM Mountain Time
Aztec Warriors vs. 1st Class
El Paso loves our luchadors. There were many "Culero" (Spanish for "a**hole") chants directed at 1st Class, and strong support for the Aztec Warriors. We didn’t like the finish. A false leg sell led to the win for 1st Class, which didn’t sit well with the crowd.
Match 2
Sami Callihan vs. Mance Warner - Street Fight
I was expecting a little more from this match, but the staple gun shots were nasty and definitely drew heat. Overall, it was an okay match. Mance Warner for the win.
There was a promo that ran, but the sound inside the building wasn’t great.
Match 3
Tessa Blanchard vs. Kylie Rae
An El Paso rapper sang Tessa's entrance music, and I believe it was her daughter performing. The crowd was hot for Kylie Rae. It was a good match overall.
Match 4
Wes Lee and Company vs. The Rascals
The Rascals picked up the win in a solid match.
Match 5
Frankie Kazarian vs. Steve Maclin
The crowd wasn’t really into this match. Kazarian deserved more support from the fans, but it felt like a sleeper. Personally, I liked it.
Match 6
Ash & Heather Monroe vs. Spitfire
It was an okay match. Afterward, NXT's Lash and Jakara came out to lay a beatdown.
Match 7
Mustafa Ali vs. Santana
Santana was WAY over with the crowd. Huge pops! Mustafa was getting a lot of heat from us. There was a BS finish, and the crowd was pissed off about it.
Match 8
Masha Slamovich vs. Jordynne Grace
By this point, we were all waiting for The Hardy Boys. It was a good match, but we knew what was coming next, and everyone was hyped.
Match 9
Jeff Hardy vs. Moose
Both were super over with the crowd, and the audience was waiting for the table spots. This match was fun and entertaining, but Moose ended up getting the win, which was disappointing to us.
Match 10
10-Man Cage Match
The cage was pretty small, but it still made for a fun match. There were some shenanigans from the crowd, and a few guys got into a fight—guess they got drunk on the $10 ultra-light beers. They were evicted from the building. The Matt Hardy beatdown by Nemeth was fun, and Jeff Hardy came out to console his brother.
