TNA House Show Results from Florence, SC 02.03.12
On Friday Morning, I helped my good friend DJ Ed Palmer from Eagle 92.9 in Florence with some interview questions when current TNA Champion Bobby Roode was calling in pumping up the show. The one question that I enjoy asking all current Wrestling stars is this - Who is the ONE Wrestling Legend “current or past” you would like to take on in a "Dream Match" and why? I will post the interview and his answer below.
(1) Eric Young & ODB Def. TV champion Robbie E. & Rob Terry. Typical EY comedy match with a dance-off, multiple lock-ups with the ref, etc. ODB and Young got the double pin after ODB kicked both Robs between the legs and EY came off the top with a dropkick to Terry.
(2) X Division champion Austin Aries Def. Zema Ion and Jesse Sorensen in a three-way match to retain the X Division Title. Good match, with fast-paced X Division action. Aries won by submitting Ion.
(3) Knockouts champion Gail Kim Def. Velvet Sky to retain the Knockouts Title. Good Knockouts match. Kim got the pin, then Sky stuck around after Kim left and celebrated with the crowd as if she had won.
(4) A.J. Styles Def. Kazarian. Match of the Night. Excellent back and forth action with A.J. getting the pin after reversing a roll-up.
(5) Gunner (w/Ric Flair) Def. Garett Bischoff. Flair got on the mic and spoke of all the great times he has had in Florence, then put over both Gunner and Bischoff, going as far as calling Gunner a future World champion. He then swore he would not interfere. Gunner then pinned Bischoff after Flair interfered and later distracted the ref.
(6) James Storm & Jeff Hardy Def. TNA World Hvt. champion Bobby Roode & Kurt Angle. No reason was given why a tag match was booked as opposed to the two singles matches that were billed. The finish saw Hardy hit the Twist of Fate on Roode for the pin. Good main event with all of the wrestlers interacting with the crowd.

TNA SHOW NOTES & Interview with TNA Champ Bobby Roode
– The attendance was really good. I would put it at around 1,750, which surprised me after hearing of the poor turn-out in Columbia, S.C. on Thursday night. The event was advertised well throughout the Florence area leading up to the show.
– Jeremy Borash mistakenly asked the crowd if they were having fun “here in Columbia tonight!”
– Jeff Hardy had the biggest pop of the night and it wasn’t even close. Styles and Flair were second and third. Roode caught the most heat.
Bobby Roode - In the Interview on Eagle 92.9 with DJ Ed Palmer answered the following questions from his hotel room in Charlotte, NC
Q - How has being the TNA Champ changed your life
A - It hasn’t changed a whole lot except the extra demand on my time has changed with having to go places all the time for media and having to be photographed more, interviewed more, etc.
Q - If there was ONE Match - who would your dream match be if you could take on any wrestler from Today or Yesterday?
A - There have been a couple and in fact I have had the chance to wrestle a few already. Hulk Hogan is one and I was just in England last week and took him on. Another would be Ric Flair for sure and I have wrestled him in the past. But if I could go back, My favorite all time and number one wrestler & mentor getting into the industry would be "Mr. Perfect" Curt Henning. Sad to say that it wont be happening as he has past on now but Curt Henning for sure.
Q - How much of a benefit is it to have the likes of Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Sting and Kurt Angle in the longer room?
A - For one of the young guys in the business, even though I am not that young, but I am a younger guy in the industry and it is HUGE to have those guys around to pick their brains. I get to go out to dinner with them, sit in the locker room and just talk. It is Great!
Thanks Ed! for allowing me to assist you in this interview. it is always great talking Rasslin' with you!
