TNA ran in Montreal this past week. The storyline there were doing was that Angle didn't trust any of the crooked Canadian referees, so he insisted that EARL HEBNER officiate this match. Didn't get a number, but the attendance estimate was in the 1,500 range or so, maybe a bit more or less.
Sylvan Grenier, who is the TNA French Announcer (real job) opened up the show. Eric Young, back in his Team Canada gear, beat James Storm, then they had a beer drinking contest. Could have sworn Storm broke a beer bottle over his head like a month ago. Forgive and forget, children. Sonjay Dutt beat Jimmy Rave with a moonsault. Rave got a lot of heat with catcalls in English and French. Jackie Moore & Awesome Kong beat Traci & Gail Kim.
Jay Lethal beat Johnny Devine. Devine cut a promo to turn himself heel. He also explained that the X-Division title was safely in the US in the hands of Team 3-D. What a stupid angle. Samoa Joe beat Robert Roode with the choke. Miss Brooks was pleased, then got dragged rudely to the back. Abyss beat Chris Harris, Abyss won with the black hole slam. AJ & Tomko beat Homicide & Hernandez
AJ was super over and pinned Homicide with the Styles clash, then acted like a geek all the way to the backstage area. HAW HAW. Main event was convoluted bullshit. They did the Montreal storyline with Hebner. He got bumped and a second ref came out. Angle hit Cage with the belt and was about to make the cover, but Hebner woke up and stopped the count and said he'd seen Angle use the belt, so Angle was disqualified. Angle signed photos for people afterwards. Wrestling on the show was said to be good and it was a fun show overall.
TNA ran in Quebec City on the 28th with Lethal over Dutt, Harris over Rave in a competitive match (Harris is a babyface again), Young beat Storm, and AJ & Tomko beat Abyss & Samoa Joe to retain the Tag Team Titles in what was said to be a really good match when AJ pinned Abyss with the springboard 450 splash.
Grenier, the French announcer, then introduced a very special guest, RICK MARTEL~! He said hi to everyone and then sat at ringside. LAX beat Robert Roode & Johnny Devine. They did an angle here with Martel. Devine yelled at him before the match, and then during the match they first got into a shouting match and then a brawl that resulted in Martel getting in the ring and putting Devine in the Boston crab. Roode tried to make the save but Sylvan beat him up, leading to the finish.
Gail Kim beat Awesome Kong, Ms. Brooks and Jackie Moore in a four-way elimination match. Main was Angle beating Christian with more ref bumps and Earl Hebner-related shenanigans. Show drew about 1,000 and was said to be fun.
TNA ran in Oshawa, Ontario on the 30th. Fans chanted "YOU SCREWED BRET!" at Earl. Jay Lethal beat Johnny Devine, Sonjay Dutt and Jimmy Rave to retain the X-title that he doesn't have possession of, then Devine stole the belt again and ran away.
Eric Young beat James Storm with a crucifix. They did a funny spot early where Young pointed at himself and everyone cheered, the pointed at Storm and everyone booed, then pointed at himself and they cheered, then pointed at Storm and they booed. Finally, he pointed at Hebner and they went insane with boos.
Gail Kim & Traci beat Awesome Kong & Jackie when Jackie did the job I believe. Both babyfaces were from Canada, so there you go. AJ & Tomko beat LAX to retain the Tag Titles. After the match, Borash said that TNA might be heading to Oshawa for a PPV soon. Write that one down. Abyss beat Chris Harris with the black hole slam in a no-DQ match. Joe beat Robert Roode in a good match, then got on the mic and also teased a future PPV match
Kurt Angle beat Christian Cage in the main event. Eight million ref bumps, run-ins by AJ, etc., and then finally Kurt hit Christian with a belt shot and won. Lots of good matches on the show.
Impact this coming Thursday night is the infamous show that had its script leaked on the Internet. It'll be interesting to see how closely the script and the actual show mesh up.
Mr. Gillis, a former NWA ECCW Heavyweight Champion, passed away last week at age 44. Buddy Wayne actually replaced him on his first tour of the Maritimes and they broke in together in British Columbia around 1985. He was a huge guy, built like the Warlord, and had been a workout freak dating back twenty years. He also worked as a pressure welder both before he got into the business and I believe up until his death.
Jacques Rougeau not only got married over the weekend, but he did so on a show he promoted inside a wrestling ring
Cibernetico has a new girlfriend named Sabrina who hosts a TV sex show. They've become the biggest wrestling celebrity couple in quite some time and are getting more press than Latin Lover, Perro Aguayo Jr. or Jorge Kawahgi ever got, and that includes covers of mainstream magazines equivalent to OK and Us in the US
