Pre-Show Notes: TNA has imported their six sided ring there....Jeremy Borash is ring announcing....One of the referees is former ECW ref John "Pee Wee" Moore....Cassidy Riley is also at the event....Spike TV is in the house with a camera crew filming the show.

*Shark Boy pinned Simon Diamond with the Dead Sea Drop.

*Chris Sabin pinned Alex Shelley with the Cradleshock in a good match with lots of near falls.

*The Insane Clown Posse came out to the ring and praised TNA. They said they would be returning to TNA this summer and they would be looking for championship gold when they did. This brought out Team Canada's Eric Young and Petey Williams (with Scott D'Amore). A match began...

*Insane Clown Posse defeated Team Canada. At one point, Scott D'Amore lost his glasses and "blindly" hit the Canadian Destroyer on Williams.

*Border City Wrestling's Jeffrey Scott has taken over ring announcing.

*Bobby Roode pinned Jerry Lynn using his hands on the ropes for leverage.

*Sabu, in his TNA return, pinned Abyss in a No Holds Barred Street Fight after an Arabian Facebuster through a table.

*Rhino pinned Team Canada's A-1 with a gore.

*In a match taped for Impact, Samoa Joe defeated AJ Styles in a great match with a lot of great spots. The match was billed as an X-Division contenders bout. The crowd was split with lots of "This is Awesome" and "Sloppy Joe" chants. Styles had a bloody nose.

The official attendance to the event is 3,700 with 3,410 paid.

*NWA Tag Team champions America's Most Wanted defeated The Naturals. Andy Douglas was carried out of the ring after the match.

*NWA champion Christian Cage pinned Jeff Jarrett with the Unprettier. There was a huge brawl to end the show featuring Cage, Jarrett, Abyss, Rhino, Samoa Joe, and AJ Styles with the babyfaces standing tall at the end.

Special thanks to Aaron and everyone else at Michigan Independent Wrestling Central for their help with tonight's TNA coverage.

Sounds like quite a solid show, i'm hoping that there were a few new fans in the crowd as the more people TNA is exposed to the better. Attendance sounds very good though, i'm not sure what TNA were expecting but still good numbers and ofcourse that is another step towards TNA finally breaking even.

As far as the matches go, i am amazed to hear about D'Amore doing the Destroyer and hope to see footage of it at some point. I knew D'Amore could wrestler but i never expected a Destroyer from him. ICP coming to TNA, well i was never a huge fan of the Posse but i have nothing against them and opefully they will be an asset to TNA.

Sabin/Shelley was good which is expected, i'd like these two to get the chance to feud over the X Title at some point down the line as both men deserve it.

Nice to see Lynn back in the ring, hopefully this leads to some more matches rather then just being a backstage lackey.

Joe/Styles stole the show it would seem which doesn't surprise me, looks like Joe is set to finish his feud with Daniels which works since they never really had a conclusion last time.

I imagine AMW/Naturals was their usual match which is a good thing as they always tend to put out good tag matches.

I imagine Sabu/Abyss was very much like any of their other encounters which is good for any fans who have never seen them before and enjoy hardcore wrestling.

I bet the reaction for Rhino was great, shame he got dropped so low down though from the Main Event to wrestling A1, thats a bit harsh.

Main Event was probably much like Cage/Jarrett from AAO which was an alright match, usual brawl at the end caps off quite a decent show, hopefully all the fans enjoyed themselves and will come back again. What are your thoughts on TNA's first ever House Show?

D'Amore doing the Destroyer is the stupidest thing ever. Technically my nan could pull the move off, it's the person taking ithe move who does all the work, but the fact that an overweight manager can do it will totally take away any impact the move had, THE CANADIAN DESTROYER...by the Fabulous Mulah, it is the same thing.

Stupid move I hope they hide it from TV.
