TNA House Show Results – Oklahoma City, Oklahoma: 1.12.08

Thanks to Shawn S. Lealos for sending these results along!

Went to the TNA House Show last night in Oklahoma City and saw some great wrestling action. I was really surprised at how good all the matches were for a house show.

Jeremy Borash came out and welcomed us and then went on to introduce Earl Hebner. The crowd began to chant “You Screwed Bret” and he flipped them off and then did the crotch chop.

-MATCH 1 – The Motor City Machine Guns beat Kaz and Elix Skipper – This was a really fun match, although I think Shelley and Kaz both did a little too much posing for the crowds after big moves. All four guys busted their butts this match, and the crowd loved every minute, only booing when Skipper got offense.

-MATCH 2 – Awesome Kong beat Ms. Brooks and Jackie in a three-way match for the Knockout’s Title. This was a squash and the crowd really was not into the match that much. Most of the match had Kong being kept out of the ring while Jackie and Brooks fought. When Kong got back in the ring she destroyed both girls and pinned Brooks.

MATCH 3 – X-DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP – Jay Lethal beat Johnny Devine after the flying elbow drop. Lethal took the mic before the match and called Devine a thief for stealing his title and then said give me back my title Greg the hammer Valentine. Lethal was awesome the entire match. The fans loves Lethal.

-MATCH 4 – Booker T pinned Robert Roode. Roode came out before the match and said he was sorry he hurt Booker’s wife and wanted to apologize. Booker came out and kicked Roode’s butt all over the ringside area. The fans were nuts for T and cheered the entire match. Security actually angered me because they were going around telling people to sit down, while they were up and cheering. Ms Brooks interfered taking a chair away from Roode when he tried to hit T with it. Booker did the spin-a-roonie and won with the scissor kick. Booker T went around and shook hands with the fans after the match ended.

There was an intermission where The Motor City Machine Guns and Jay Lethal signed autographs.

-MATCH 5 – Eric Young beat James Storm in a comedy match. You might have heard about these series of matches as Earl Hebner would get involved and at one point Young played the referee while Hebner and Storm locked up. This was a fun match and the crowd seemed to enjoy it. Funny stuff from all three guys.

-MATCH 6 – LAX beat The Rock and Rave Infection – This was a really good tag match with Homicide playing the face-in-heat most of the match. Before the match, Homicide got on the mic and did Konan’s old intro. He then started the match with the three amigos and the fans all started chanting “Eddie, Eddie, Eddie” which Homicide egged on. There was a lot of fighting outside the ring and at one point Hernandez did the no hands leap over the top rope onto Rave.

-MATCH 7 – Christian Cage beat Samoa Joe in a Number One Contenders Match. The fans did dueling chants but the majority was cheering for Christian. Even when Christian cheated, the fans continued to cheer for him. I tried to start a Joe’s Gonna Kill You Chant, but only one guy joined in. Joe locked Cage in his submission hold, but they rolled over and Cage got the three count while locked in the hold.

After the card, Christian came back out to the ring and for $20 you could get your picture taken in the ring with him while other superstars came to ringside and signed autographs. The crowd was hot the entire night and never really stopped yelling and cheering. The wrestlers responded with some REALLY good wrestling. I was surprised at the quality of the wrestling for a house show. Really good time.
