TNA Wrestling Hits Cadillac















Twenty plus years after I was watching the likes of the Ultimate Warrior, Andre the Giant, Jake 'The Snake' Roberts, and Demolition, I returned to the Wexford Civic Arena in Cadillac with the kids in tow to check out TNA Wrestling for the first time. The show certainly didn't disappoint, as we saw some great matches and got to meet some of the wrestlers as well. Before the show even started, the kids got autographs from the TNA Knockouts champ Madison Rayne and TNA X-Division champ Jay Lethal. Once the wrestling started...the kids were hooked. They loved all of the excitement and drama that comes with a good show. At the intermission we got to meet and get autographs from the Beautiful People Velvet Skye and Angelina Love also. Afterward, we were also able to get into the ring and get a picture taken with Rob Van Dam. I left that one in Cadillac, so I'll get that scanned and posted as soon as I can. For the second half of the show, the kids and I moved over by the rail so they could 'high-five' the wrestlers on their way to the ring. In all we saw: Rhino def. Jeff Jarrett, Jay Lethal def. Eric Young, Madison Rayne def. Velvet Skye, Motor City Machine Guns def. Generation Me, Abyss def. Sabu in a monster's ball match, and Rob Van Dam def. A.J. Styles. It was a really fun night for us, and we'll definitely go next time they are in town.
