---TNA House show 08/03/13- in Thibodaux, LA:
TNA house show was pretty decent, with probably about 800 to 1000 fans attending. The night started out with Jeremy Borash offering backstage passes and Mr. Anderson came out. Anderson said no one will go backstage. Finally, Jeff Hardy came out challenged him to a match, and if he won, people can go backstage.
* Jeff Hardy defeated Mr. Anderson. The match was pretty decent.
* Gail Kim defeated ODB.
* James Storm defeated Christopher Daniels via DQ after Kazarian interfered. A tag match was made, which was next...
* James Storm & Gunner defeated Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian. Daniels was ripping on an obese woman in the crowd who was saying that she wanted to kick his butt. The original card had Kurt Angle facing Kazarian, but that match was nixed with Angle's arrest on Thursday night.
* AJ Styles defeated Devon (w/ Knux).
* TNA World Heavyweight Champion Chris Sabin defeated Bobby Roode to retain his title. Mr. Anderson interfered near the end of the match and took a nasty bump on the steel steps. Devon and Knux interfered after the match, but Jeff Hardy made the save and cleared the ring. After the show was over, photos were taken with Sabin and Hardy.

---In an update on photos of Keiji Muto (aka The Great Muta) meeting with Jeff Jarrett at the TNA offices in Nashville this week, Dave Meltzer reports that Muto was trying to get talent like Kurt Angle, Jeff Hardy and others to appear on his Wrestle-1 events in Japan. Muto reportedly is interested in featuring outside talent to create "dream matches" in Japan. Jarrett also reportedly expressed interest in bringing in more Japanese wrestlers to TNA.
---When BJ Whitmer took the piledriver on the apron outside the ring at last night' ROH show, he lost feeling in his right leg and arm as that side of his body went completely numb.
After several minutes, as he was being checked out by EMTs and Davey Richards (who is an EMT), Whitmer began to get feeling back in the right side of his body. He gave the crowd a thumbs up side with his right hand as he was carried out.
Whitmer underwent a series of tests and X-Rays came back showing that he did not have any fractures. The current belief is that he ruptured a disc in his back. He will be undergoing additional testing today and ROH will re-book his flight back to Ohio once he is released from the hospital.
Whitmer has full feeling and movement in his back and was actually out of the hospital bed this morning under his own power. He noted the entire thing was very scary and he's still got pain but there's no paralysis or severe injury.
Whitmer wanted to also note he was extremely thankful for the outpouring of concern from fans online and from everyone who's reached out to him overnight.

---NEFW Cruel Summer 3 08/03/13
Boys and Girls Club in Chicopee, Mass.
I would say the attendance was in the range of 300-350 people. Not the liveliest group of "smart fans," certainly more families, kids, and adult male John Cena fans. The venue was good. Big, open, well-ventilated gymnasium with lots of vendors along the walls. Floor and bleacher seating were available.
1. Wulfgar beat Furio Falcone and Mark Shurman (w/Fenris Fortune) in a three-way match. Shurman walked out on the match before the finish, at the behest of his manager. Wulfgar then pinned the soccer-gimmicked Falcone with a full nelson slam. Of the three, Shurman definitely had the size and look about him (though I'd suggest that loitering outside of WWE events, as he's been spotted doing, isn't the way to get noticed).
2. Shady vs. Jim Nastic (w/ The Mac) in a loser must retire hardcore match. Nastic and Mac had some fun dancing, and the crowd had a laugh at Shady trying to get down with them. The heel group Defiant Inc. interfered, and their heavy hitter Jim Sullivan laid everyone out. Nastic took a hard lariat and Shady was thrown on top of Nastic for the win, forcing Nastic to retire. Shady was then carried away by Defiant Inc.
3. AR Fox beat Anthony Stone in a Beyond Wrestling rematch. Great showing by both guys which ended when Fox hit a 450 splash. Fox had his Evolve Title, the CZW TV Title, a Chilean Title, and stole some guy's WCW US replica belt. Funny. He played the slightly cocky, subtle heel and showed that he's starting to develop a character to go along with his athleticism and skill. Stone is quite undersized but from what I've seen, he's really impressive in the ring. Strong contender for match of the night.
4. Chris Envy beat a former referee-turned wrestler. Envy wears a shirt that says "Screw indie wrestling, I'm a pro." His gimmick is an indie guy who hates indie wrestling, get it? He spent some time berating his opponent as "indie trash" saying people like that give wrestling a bad name, before beating him pretty handily.
5. Nocturn beat Chris Marvel to become No.1 contender to the NEFW Title. I didn't catch all of this one, but what I saw was the weaker of two walking brawl-style matches of the night. Nocturne is something like Papa Shango and Marvel dresses like Robin. Slightly indie-riffic. Nocturne got the win with a package piledriver.
6. Mike Mondo beat Bobby Ocean. From what I've experienced at ROH shows, as well as at this show, Mondo has a near-impossible time getting the crowd into him. Matches like this don't help either. Mondo was on offense for 90 percent of the match as the babyface, his opponent made a brief comeback without selling the effects of the prior 10 minutes, and Mondo put him away with a double-arm DDT. No psychology or story whatsoever. Disappointment of the night.
Intermission. Shorter than usual, a welcome occurrence.
7. JT Dunn beat Johnny Gargano in a Beyond Wrestling rematch. Excellent indie-style match from two guys who can work their stuff. Lots of superkicks, elbows, and great near-falls. Dunn got the win after a rolling elbow that crumpled Gargano. They put each other over after the match and agreed that since they're 1-1 against each other, they want a rubber match. It'll likely take place at the same venue around the end of the year. This was another strong contender for match of the night.
8. Anthony Gangone won a six-way freestyle match. A HoG student that I was only able to identify as Quinn was very impressive. His charisma stood out above everyone and he showed great athletic potential in the pre-show seminar as well as in this match. Otherwise, there were some badly blown, very dangerous, and all-together too many spots. A case of students and green talent trying things they shouldn't be trying. I lost it when El Generico's top rope brainbuster was used as a transition move. Things in this match are what make some smart fans cringe at indie wrestling.
9.NEFW Champion Jeremy Leary beat Dave Cole in a tables match to retain the title. This was the better of two walking brawl-style matches on the show and a really pleasant surprise. Neither guy has great name recognition on the scene, but they put together a very entertaining match with good spots all over the gymnasium (and in the ring). Leary won by putting Cole through a table with a diving splash on the outside. This got a tired crowd really amped and into the action. Dark horse third candidate for match of the night.
10. Chris Masters beat Brian Fury. After the previous match, lots of people left and those who remained were likely put to sleep by this relatively boring, WWE-style match. Masters got a good pop initially but the lack of action lost the crowd. Masters got the win out of nowhere with the Masterlock. It was revealed afterwards that Brian Fury had been legitimately injured in the match. Fury confirmed on Twitter that he had suffered a fractured ankle and would likely be out for eight weeks.
Notes: Overall, this was a solid indie show with some great matches and some not-so-great matches. My biggest critique would be that at about three and a half hours, the show ran too long for the average wrestling fan. Some people left at intermission, and more left after each match thereafter. Some of the talent they brought in did a lot to bring the quality of the show up, and some probably didn't help as much as they could've. There are still names out there that are draws independently, that I would like to see brought into NEFW. All of that said though, NEFW runs fun shows that have a loyal fan base in the area and I'm looking forward to checking out more down the road.
---The following are results from the WWE live event in Shanghai, China. The event was held on Saturday, August 3rd.
-Zack Ryder defeated Antonio Cesaro and Heath Slater in a Triple-Threat match to earn a shot at the WWE United States Championship. The finish came when Cesaro hit Slater with his Neutralizer finisher. Ryder snuck back into the ring, threw Cesaro over the ropes and then pinned Slater for the 1-2-3.
-Natalya defeated Aksana via Submission. The crowd was said to be behind Natalya quite a bit. The finish came when Natalya forced Aksana to tap out to the Sharpshooter.
-The Great Khali defeated Jinder Mahal via pinfall. Was said to be a quick match, which the crowd was entertained by. The finish came when Khali hit his big Chop on Mahal for the clean pinfall victory.
-Dean Ambrose defeated Zack Ryder to retain the WWE United States Championship. Ryder won the right to challenge Ambrose for the title earlier in the show. Ryder got some decent offense in, including a missile dropkick off the top rope, and a nearfall off a Broski-Boot. However, in the end, Ambrose was too much for the Long Island native, as he picked up the pin after hitting Ryder with his finisher.
--Intermission--
-Curtis Axel defeated The Miz. The Miz was surprisingly very over with the crowd. Several "Miz is Awesome" chants broke out during the match. In the end, Axel picked up the victory over Miz via pinfall after putting his feet on the ropes during the pin for added leverage.
-Kane & Daniel Bryan defeated Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns via Disqualification in a WWE Tag-Team Championship Match. The crowd continued to get hotter, as they were more into this one than anything on the show thus far. Lots of "Yes" chants throughout this one. In the end, Ambrose interfered, causing Rollins and Reigns to be disqualified, giving Kane and Daniel Bryan the win.
-John Cena defeated Ryback to retain the WWE Championship. Both guys got big pops coming out. Before the match, Cena addressed the fans in Shanghai by speaking in Mandarin. In the end, the match was won by Cena after he reversed a Ryback Shellshock attempt into an Attitude Adjustment for the clean pinfall. After the match, After the match, Cena addressed the crowd again, this time in English.
---According to a new tweet, Matt Hardy was stopped and searched by airport security on Sunday because he had too much cash in his bag. The former WWE Superstar wrote on Twitter, "I got stopped & searched by TSA airport security today because I had too much cash in my bag. What a hassle! ;-)" The tweet was accompanied by a photo of Hardy holding up a sign that sarcastically read, "You don't understand how hard it is to be Matt Hardy."

Dunn got the win after a rolling elbow that crumpled Gargano. They put each other over after the match and agreed that since they're 1-1 against each other, they want a rubber match. It'll likely take place at the same venue around the end of the year. This was another strong contender for match of the night.
8. Anthony Gangone won a six-way freestyle match. A HoG student that I was only able to identify as Quinn was very impressive. His charisma stood out above everyone and he showed great athletic potential in the pre-show seminar as well as in this match. Otherwise, there were some badly blown, very dangerous, and all-together too many spots. A case of students and green talent trying things they shouldn't be trying. I lost it when El Generico's top rope brainbuster was used as a transition move. Things in this match are what make some smart fans cringe at indie wrestling.
9.NEFW Champion Jeremy Leary beat Dave Cole in a tables match to retain the title. This was the better of two walking brawl-style matches on the show and a really pleasant surprise. Neither guy has great name recognition on the scene, but they put together a very entertaining match with good spots all over the gymnasium (and in the ring). Leary won by putting Cole through a table with a diving splash on the outside. This got a tired crowd really amped and into the action. Dark horse third candidate for match of the night.
10. Chris Masters beat Brian Fury. After the previous match, lots of people left and those who remained were likely put to sleep by this relatively boring, WWE-style match. Masters got a good pop initially but the lack of action lost the crowd. Masters got the win out of nowhere with the Masterlock. It was revealed afterwards that Brian Fury had been legitimately injured in the match. Fury confirmed on Twitter that he had suffered a fractured ankle and would likely be out for eight weeks.
Notes: Overall, this was a solid indie show with some great matches and some not-so-great matches. My biggest critique would be that at about three and a half hours, the show ran too long for the average wrestling fan. Some people left at intermission, and more left after each match thereafter. Some of the talent they brought in did a lot to bring the quality of the show up, and some probably didn't help as much as they could've. There are still names out there that are draws independently, that I would like to see brought into NEFW. All of that said though, NEFW runs fun shows that have a loyal fan base in the area and I'm looking forward to checking out more down the road.
