- WNW reader A.B. was kind enough to pass along these house show results from TNA's event in Laredo, Texas.
TNA Wrestling came to Laredo, TX for the first time and put on a great show.
1. In a three way match, Ultimo Guerrero & Rey Bucanero d. Sonjay Dutt & Petey Williams, Kaz & Jay Lethal
Great match. Petey Williams hit the Canadian Destroyer on Kaz to eliminate him and Lethal, then Ultimo Guerrero pinned Williams. Big pop for the win.
2. Cowboy James Storm d. Shark Boy
Storm ran down the city pre-match. Shark Boy came out and called him an extra for Brokeback Mountain. Quick match with Storm spitting beer in Shark Boy's face then hitting the super kick for the pin. Post match saw Shark Boy hit the Stunner on Storm, then quickly leave w/ ref assistance as he seemed to be favoring his right knee.
3. Taylor Wilde d. Awesome Kong and Miss Jackie
Short match with Taylor using the school boy on Kong for the win. Not great, but ok given the time they had.
4. LAX d. Team 3D
Bubba Ray got on the mic pre-match and ran down the city and the fans for some good heel heat. Hector Guerrero was with LAX and called them assholes with the crowd chanting along. Great match with Bubba getting into it with the fans at times and doing the Flair flop. Finish saw Hernandez use the Border Toss on Devon and a Splash by Homicide for the win. Post match saw Bubba and Devon hug.
5. Samoa Joe d. Abyss
Joe claimed Booker refused to come to Laredo, so he issued an open challenge. Ref bump towards the end. The second ref got the Black Hole Slam. Joe then kicked a chair into Abyss and pinned him. Good match. Joe played it up with the fans during the match.
6. AJ Styles d. Kurt Angle
Long match with mostly mat wrestling to start. Pretty similar to their other bouts with Styles hitting the Pele, rolling out of the ankle lock and hitting the Styles Clash for the win. Kurt seemed kinda tired out there. Post match saw fans chant "Thank You Kurt", to which he seemed humbled by. He got on the mic and thanked the fans for coming out.
Notes: Decent sized crowd. Crowd heat was good throughout the show. Biggest pop by far was for LAX, which is no surprise considering the Latino market down here. Jeremy Borash gave out backstage passes throughout the show then filmed the crowd after intermission for use on the TNA website. Hector Guerrero and Hernandez as well as Kaz and Jay Lethal came out after the show and took pictures and signed autographs.
