This was the first time TNA has come to Gainesville, and I gotta say, it was awesome. It was dubbed as the AJ Styles Homecoming Show since this is his hometown. Out of all the wrestling matches I have been to at this facility, I gotta say that this one took the cake.
Not only did everyone there get a chance to get in the ring and get a pic with AJ, but all the "good guys" came out after the show and signed autographs and took pics.
The opening bout was a 3 way featuring Suicide, Creed, and Shiek Abdul Bashir.
Creed pinned Bashir for the win
Up next was Daphney taking on Taylor Wilde
Good ol Slick
Homicide w/Bashir in his corner vs Super Mex Hernandex
Beer Money vs Steiner and Booker T from the MEM
Steiner jaw-jacking some guy in the front row. Spit was flying everywhere
Booker was really enjoying punking the crowd. Here is a link to his speech.
Spinarooni
Samoa Joe vs Daniels for the X-Division Title
Lots of rest holds during the match but still got to see the BME and Joe did a sick Tazplex
Right in front of me and the wife. Forgot to mention that we had front row seats.
Daniels ended up tapping out to a rear choke
And finally, the Main Event. AJ Styles vs Kurt Angle in a non
title match. The stipulation was that if AJ lost he had to give up his spot in the Main Event at No Surrender.
If you cant tell, the roof blew off of the Mountain Center when AJ came to the ring.
AJ hit every single one of his moves and pulled out the win with a Styles Clash.
Suicide and Daniels came out and hoisted AJ up after the win.
Show of mutual respect
AJ autographed a guys TNA belt
Me and JB
My wife and Daniels
Wife and Super Mex. Dude is a giant.
Wife and Suicide
Wife and Daphney
Me and Earl
This is the pic that they took in the ring with AJ after the event.
From left to right, My friend Noah, Me, AJ (obviously), My wife, and Noah's wife Mindy.
Like I said, the event was off the chain. I have been going to wrestling at the Mountain Center since I was a kid. Lost count of how many WCW Saturday Night tapings, and ECW events I have been to there but this was definatly the best yet.
