I just got back from the TNA house show in Lincoln, NE. At the Pershing Auditorium. It had a good sized crowd of maybe over at least 1000 people. Both WWE and WCW (back in the day) have run house shows here before. It was good crowd for a town this far from Orlando.
Before the show started Don West was working the merch booth and Jeff Jarrett was signing autographs at the merch booth. They had a deal where if you bought a Jarrett guitar for $150 you get backstage passes.
Alright the show starts Jeremy Borasch (? Spelling) hypes the crowd up, saying he’d give backstage passes to the loudest fans.
* 1st Match
Brian Kendrick d. Homicide.
& 2nd Match – Knockout title match with special guest referee local rock radio DJ. (won’t give him credit by saying his name)Madison Rayne (C) d. Angelina Love. Angelina Love super kicks Madison after the match.
* 3rd Match – Global Title matchRob Terry (C) d. Desmond WolfeRob Terry is huge in person.After the match JB gets in the ring and introduces Jeff Jarrett. Double J has is arm in sling by the way. Double J thanks the fans for supporting TNA. He’s says it’s been 5 years of Impact and 8 years for TNA as a whole. All the fans chant TNA! TNA! TNA!. Double J says he has something special for all the fans after the show.
* 4th Match – TNA Tag TitlesThe Band (Kevin Nash & Eric Young) d. Generation MeIntermission. Angelina Love is signing autographs at the merch table.
* 5th Match – Samoa Joe d. Kazarian
Kazarian comes out before the match working the crowd as heel.
* 6th Match – TNA World Title
Rob Van Dam (c) d. AJ Styles
After the show Rob Van Dam is in the ring posing for pictures for $20 per group. And Kevin Nash is at the merch booth signing autographs.This is Lincoln’s second TNA house show and 3rd one I’ve been to. Compared to them I say alot more people showed up this time and the crowd was a lot hotter. In fact tonight’s crowd was one of the hottest crowds I’ve been to WWE or TNA. I was with two people who have never seen TNA live before and both of them said they had more fun tonight then at any WWE show. On a whole the show was pretty good, I wish they had a couple more matches, Jeff Hardy wasn’t there even though he was advertised to be there oh well. If your a wrestling fan and even if you don’t like what they are doing on Impact I’d recommend any wrestling fan to show their support for these workers and come to a TNA house show if they come to their area of the country. It’s not bad for $18.
