TNA Genesis Results and Recap
Last night was the first PPV of the year for TNA, and Genesis lived up to what it was going to be. The first match started off with an X Division title defense from Amazing Red. His mystery opponent was Brian Kendrick who looked really good after being off of TV for a long time. Red won the match but Kendrick looked awesome. I forgot to mention Hogan and Bischoff started off the show in a 4-sided ring stating that change needed to happen. I love how they told the commentators to refer to the guys in the ring as wrestlers and not sports entertainers. Good stuff by TNA and a direct slap in the face to WWE.
Next up was Sean Morley taking on Christopher Daniels in a very competitive match. I was really shocked to see that Morley won with his Money Shot splash. Morley is still a great wrestling but Daniels needs to be noticed by all the wrestling fans and do to that he needs to be in some big time matches. Hopefully TNA will use him to the best of their ability. Next up was the 2 out of 3 falls for the Knockout Title and in what really surprise me was the Tara regained the gold in 2 straight falls. That was shocking that ODB really never had any offense.
The British Invasion put the TNA Tag titles on the line as they defended against Matt Morgan and Hernandez. It was a back and forth match the whole time but in the end Morgan and Hernandez back the new TNA Tag Team Champions. Next on the card was The Pope taking on Desmond Wolfe in a return match. This was a very excellent match that saw Pope take a beating but kept on coming back. In the end Desmond was too much for The Pope to handle. The much anticipated return of the Outsiders was spoiled because Scott Hall didn’t wrestle because of injuries. But he also cost Syxx-Pac and Kevin Nash to lose the match to Beer Money. Nash didn’t look too happy and neither did Bischoff or Hogan.
Before his match earlier in the evening Abyss took out his opponent Bobby Lashley leaving him with a mystery opponent. The Mystery opponent ended being Mr. Anderson. Anderson won the match and shocked TNA fans all over the Impact Zone. Then the Main Event of the evening saw AJ Styles take on Kurt Angle. What another classic encounter by these two however AJ turned heel with the help of Ric Flair. Flair taught AJ how to use dirty tactics to win a match and retain his title and thats exactly what happen. Flair and Styles celebrated in the ring and now Kurt Angle does not get another title shot this year at AJ.
This was a great PPV for TNA to start off with this year. Surprising returns to wrestling and shocking outcomes. That’s what makes wrestling awesome. Hopefully TNA can keep the momentum going. Impact is going to be sweet this Thursday. Don’t miss it.
