Keep Refreshing For The Latest Results

Hey everyone! Well, this is definitely an interesting revelation! Yours truly is here to cover TNA Turning Point for all the TNA fans out there, so let’s have some fun!

Turning Point is quite the fitting name for this show, isn’t it? I mean, it follows the company’s biggest show, Bound for Glory, and it begins the push toward a new season for the company.

Although I have been fading in and out with the company over the years, it will be fun to cover Turning Point tonight. When Jeremy asked me if I could do it, I said I would do it, and here we are!

Apparently, I joined during this during the Pre-show, and Rosemary just won a Knockouts Match. So, sorry I was kind of late, but hey, we’ll be here for the live show! Let’s go get it, TNA!

Gia Miller has Steve Maclin backstage. He hasn’t changed anything about himself, but he has changed the standard within TNA. When he beats Josh Alexander tonight, it will be bag Em, Tag Em! FRONT TOWARD ENEMY!

On to the main show, as we are LIVE from the Benton Convention Center in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The announcers are Tom Hannifan and Matt Rehwoldt.

Opening hype promo for Turning Point. Good job hyping this show up, although I’m not sure Eddie Edwards will beat Nic Nemeth if Joe Hendry couldn’t. Should be fun, tho!

To the arena for our opening match!

To the arena for our next match!

Turkey Bowl Match: Brian Myers vs. Eric Young vs. John Skyler vs. Hammerstone vs. Joe Hendry vs. Rhino
A friendly reminder that, as has been tradition in TNA, the wrestler who takes the fall in this match has to put on the Turkey Suit. If they don’t, they will be fired.

On his way to the ring, Skyler cuts a promo, running down the North Carolina fans. He doesn’t make promises he can’t keep, but one of these five “ham sandwiches” will be wearing the turkey suit tonight, courtesy of these good hands.

Everyone fights everyone to begin the match! The ring clears, leaving Skyler and Hendry in the ring. RHINO chants from the crowd, and I am disappointed that we didn’t get another Hendry song.

One for Skyler! One more for Hammerstone! Stomp-Stomp-Clap! Everyone is now hitting their stuff. Hammerstone gets another GORE from Rhino! GORE to Young! SPEAR by Myers to Rhino! Hendry grabs Myers out of his attack! STANDING OVATION BY HENDRY AND MYERS HAS TO WEAR THE TURKEY SUIT!
WINNER: Joe Hendry
TIME: 8:25
THOUGHTS: Hendry gets the win, which I mean, come on, who else was going to win? Surprised Skyler didn’t lose after his pre-match promo, but Myers is a good one, too.
RATING: ***

Post-match, Myers tries to leave, as Rhino throws him back in. TURKEY chant from the crowd. Rhino, Young, and Hendry hit finishers to knock Myers out.

In the back, Rosemary cuts a promo. Did the children see the destruction tonight? It is just a taste, but it’s a shame that those we lost cannot be here to celebrate this. We want the shiny prize! The Harvester of Despair is on your trail. We want it! I want it! There is nothing you can do to stop us!

TNA World Heavyweight Title: Nic Nemeth (C) vs. Eddie Edwards w/Alisha Edwards
A tale of the tape before this one gets underway. I have to say, it’s really wild how Nemeth looks like he hasn’t aged a day over the past, what, ten years? I also remembered how annoying Eddie’s Boston accent is.

The bell rings, and the main event is underway! Eddie steps out to talk trash to the fans. Both men jockey for position in the corner.

(Side note: I really like this team of Matt and Tom, Matt is so funny as a sarcastic heel, and Tom playing it straight is great).

Both Edwards and Nemeth are back in the ring. Counterfest ensues, headbutt by Nemeth, superkick, DANGER ZONE! The cover and that’s it!
WINNER: Nic Nemeth (Still Champion)
TIME: 20:07
THOUGHTS: The first half of this match was kind of boring and felt like it was in slow motion. The second half, the match picked up, and Nic got some help from JBL. Overall, a good match, but following the Knockouts Title Match and the No-DQ match, it didn’t hit with the same umph.
RATING: ***

Nemeth celebrates with the title as our show goes off the air.
