The show starts mid-match. (Bear with me as this is my first time writing TNA. There are a lot of moves and wrestlers that I still don’t know very well, so it WILL be choppy. Hopefully it will be well received and something I’ll do on a regular basis.) Anyway Samoa Joe has Daniels on the outside and Daniels is busted wide open.

From the other side of the ring Team Canada attacks 3D. The ref calls for the bell over and over. They grab a table and set it up. They are about to put Ray through a table when my favorite Dudley comes running out. The little guy bulldogs one and stomps another’s chest in a corner to save his brothers. Spike’s hair is cut short but sticking out in all directions. He looks really good back in the ring, very energetic. (Can we tell I’m a HUGE Spike fan?)
