Kurt Angle missed tonight's TNA house show in Barre, Vermont due to an announced injury. There had been rumors Angle injured his neck working a date in Korea over the weekend, but I was unable to confirm the injury. Angle had been booked to challenge TNA champion Samoa Joe in the main event of the Barre event. AJ Styles challenged Joe in the main event, losing in what was said to have been a very good match.
There were about 500-600 in attendance at the Barre event, which also saw the following results:
*The Motor City Machineguns defeated The Rock N Rave Infection.
*In what was announced as an X-Division championship contender's bout, Curry Man defeated Sonjay Dutt. X-Division champ Petey Williams hit the ring and drilled Curry with the championship belt, then cut a promo saying that when he's healed from his injury, no one will be able to beat him.
*TNA Knockout champion Awesome Kong defeated Roxxi and ODB (accompanied by a local DJ) in a Three-Way bout.
*Booker T defeated Robert Roode.
*LAX defeated James Storm and Shark Boy. They set up the odd couple team with Storm cutting a promo saying he didn't have a partner because no one was good enough to beat him or team with him. Shark Boy came out to a big pop and they ended up as a team. LAX were also accompanied by a local DJ.
In an interesting note, since it was a house show, they were using a lot of rock music for entrances that the original ECW used to use.. Earl Hebner actually came out to Bret Hart's music. No, just kidding. He came out to "Man in the Box." Rock N' Rave came out to Offspring's "Come Out and Play."
Jeremy Borash taped a TNA Today segment.
Although it was a house show, Christy Hemme and Jacqueline were at the event in their charge's corners.
Thanks to Mary Briscoe.

Kurt Angle is still expected to work the Sacrifice PPV, but will likely not wrestle on any of the house shows this weekend. The word making its way backstage at tonight's Barre, VT house show was that Angle was dropped on his head during an attempted bodyslam in Korea. There is a chance that he may make an appearance at tomorrow's house show.

There are plans for a Houston PPV by the end of the year, if not by the end of the summer.
