Bill and I hit the NWA-TNA's first anniversary show last night. It was a good solid show on all fronts. The crowd was really hot. All the performers seemed to be really up for the show.

They debuted their new set, which isn't all that different from their old set, except for the couple of plasma screen TVs on the stage with graphics. (Bill's guess is that one goes to Jerry Jarrett and the other goes to Jeff Jarrett between shows).

New Jack cut what I think is the best promo the year-old company's ever seen, warning Mike Sanders that his beating "won't take long." He even got help from his buddy Shark Boy, who came to ringside wearing a pair of those big foam Hulk Hands they've got out in toy stores to coincide with the movie.

Sting made his return to the American ring, and showed little ring rust in his tag match.

Go to TNA-Thoughts to read results, if you're interested.

The icing on the cake was the little meet and greet they had with the wrestlers after the show. Mike Tenay called out all the talent. They circulated amongst the crowd, letting people get autographs and pictures and stuff. When Bill posts his pictures, I'll link to the pictures he took of him with David Young and yours, truly, with Jerry Lynn.

We had a good little conversation with David Young. He's the Messiah of the Spinebuster, don't you know? We said that we were fans, and hoped he'd go far. He said he'd been working injured, after jamming his knee. He was doing a moonsault, changed course in mid-air to land on his feet. When he landed, that's when the knee went out. It had swollen to the size of a melon the next day. But he kept working, and he was feeling mostly better. As an aside, he really does have the best spinebuster to come around since "Double A" Arn Anderson threw chumps around.

It's a bad position. He hadn't said anything to TNA management. If you can't wrestle, you lose your place, I guess. David's been doing this a while, and he's moving up the ladder.

Granted, I'm not encumbered by employment as we speak. But I'm just glad that if I were employed, that if I did a moonsault in whatever capacity, and I hurt myself doing it, I'd be able to tell my employer, and get treatment.

Ain't America Great?

We also told Jerry Lynn what a great match that triple ladder match last summer was. He seemed only mildly uncomfortable.

Bill also terrorized both Alexis Laree and the Goddess Athena. He's just like that.
