TNA Genesis pay per view results
TNA produced their “Genesis” pay per view tonight and injuries plagued the show from the onset. This past weekend, it was announced that Christy Hemme, challenger for the Women’s Championship, injured her neck while training for the match and had to be pulled from the PPV. Her match with Women’s Champion Awesome Kong was pulled from the card and replaced with a six-woman tag match. The opening match six-man tag team elimination match, which was just announced over the weekend, was changed to a six-man elimination match with different participants. And Kevin Nash, who was to be in the six man tag team main event, had to pull out of the show due a staph infection, and his replacement wasn’t announced until bell time.
Here’s out the event ended up falling out.
Eric Young and Homicide & Hernandez of Latin American Xchange beat Sonjay Dutt, Kiyoshi & Jimmy Rave in an elimination match. Hernandez was the sole survivor.
