Impact Wrestling Live Discussion Thread 7/05 - Destination X Go Home Show

Storm shouldn't win this, even though he should probably win the thing over all he needs a few losses to bring other people into play.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Hardy shouldn't even win a dime bag let alone a wrestling match at this point.

 

[Dale]

YES chants? Oh dear.

 

[Dale]

That looked like a good match from what I saw.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

I hear YES! chants every week on Impact now.

That match sucked and the finish just made Storm look bad. It's like "hey I'm gonna do shit I usually do" with Hardy and still picks up the win. It just doesn't make sense for this Bound For Glory stuff unless they start a backtrack with Storm. It just seems like another win for an over guy.

....I just noticed that there was no #4 spot in the rankings

 

[Dale]

So i'm guessing those masked guys show up and attack Hogan?

....I just noticed that there was no #4 spot in the rankings

Was because there was a tie before that, so they skipped to number 5.

Ah, didn't realize that.

Great to see Flip Cassanova. Damon Kendrick is a personal friend of mine, having him win and make the PPV is huge. Also happy to see Kenny King, big fan.

My thoughts on Impact:

- Bully pulling out the restraining order was awesome, Joseph Park's character is getting slightly stale. Hopefully, the feud ends next week.

- The Television title really doesn't mean shit in TNA especially with Devon as the TV champion. He's not building any prestige on the belt or putting over any challengers. They need to take the belt off of him and give it to someone that we care about.

- I marked out when Earl Hebner got some action, definantly swerved me. A pretty stupid way to go with the story, but I took it with a good heart.

- The segment with Sabin and Roode showed me again why I love Bobby Roode. Great promo from him.

- I don't know why I'm watching the Repo Man's son and Flip Cassanova (such a cheesy name) fighting for an X Division spot? I would take Scorpio Sky or Jigsaw over both of these guys.

- I really dislike the AJ/Daniels/Kaz/Dixie/Claire storyline and the pregnant junkie whore's involvement in it. Regardless, these guys really feed off each other so well on the mic and in the ring.

- It would be seriously awesome to see Kenny King as an X Division regular, but he just got a ROH tag team title so it's not likely. Awesome to see Lars Only a.k.a. Johnny Yuma (one half of The RockNESS Monsters) on Impact too. To be honest, I'd rather see these guys in their respective tag teams on Impact. They would add a lot to a weak division. I also don't see why these two wrestled each other, both impressed me more than Flip Cassanova.

- The main event didn't really interest, but was a good enough match. As much as I hate to say it, Hardy going over was the right decision.

- A nice little segment to end the show to hype up Destination X.

- Overall, a decent show. Not as good as last week, but TNA have seemed to pick up the pace ever since they went live.

I enjoyed the show for most part. Bully Ray is so awesome that whole twitter thing was so funny. I'm not a fan of Bully Ray as a person, nothing more than a legit asshole in real life but in character very enjoyable. It was a pretty good shot but last week was much better. Aires and Roode getting a lot of build is awesome and was much needed. I wish we got more than just a video package of Joe vs Angle.

 

[Chris]

I thought it started with a great segment, and ended with a great segment, but the stuff in between definitely wasn't much. Storm vs Hardy was a good TV match, fine with that. The X Division matches were so sloppy though. King and Darsow looked good though.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Who cares if a professional wrestler is an asshole in person? A lot of times people give wrestler's a bad name when they snub them at bars and shit. Why the fuck would you be bothering them there? They are just trying to hang out with their friends, not give autographs to drunk losers who don't know any better.

Another good show this week. The build up to Austin Aries vs. Bobby Roode was really well done and thse two are going to have a great match at Destination X. I was surprised to see Kenny King on Impact.
