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 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!
