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!

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.

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.

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.

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: ***
