Elevation X is an X raised above the ring, they fight and the first to fall is the loser. Ultimate X is suspended above the ring with wires and the wrestlers have to attempt to grab the X by any way possible.

KK, Ive seen some Ultimate X matches then and Elevation X sounds like shit tbh.

Elevation X is the most anticlimatic match ever. It's basically 10 minutes of people staggering around trying not to fall until the right time.

Hopefully if they utilize the talent properly to give us good matches and it's booked properly (wishful thinking I know) it should be good. Although any one of us could go take a shit in the middle of the ring and it would be better than Against All Odds.

I so totally didn't just mention spoilers outside the spoiler section.

Looks decent tbh. Sting/Kurt should be good, as should Ultimate X, Booker/AJ, and maybe even Abyss/Morgan and Team 3D vs Beer Money.

Sting/Kurt, Ultimate X and Booker/AJ are set to be good matches, although on the other end of the spectrum, One Night With ODB (who in there right mind would want a night with her?), Joe vs Steiner, the Knockout 6 Tag and Abyss vs Morgan, 'cause Abyss sucks, will drag it down.

I'm on the fence with BM/3D.

I think Morgan maybe able to carry Abyss to a decent match. Never thought I would say that about Morgan, but he has improved like hell.

Not liking Abyss/Morgan. Abyss matches always seems to be the same mess of shit thrown against a wall.

Joe vs Steiner has the potential to not be too bad. Steiner ha spulled out some alright performances when needed since joining TNA, and I think this could be alright, assuming Joe doesn't pull a gun out and shoot Steiner to show how badass he is.

It is safe to say that PPVs like Destination X and Against All Odds are glorified, extended versions of Impact. Rating these kind of PPVs is easier with that in mind.

The six woman tag team match was a whole lotta nothing. Which is an average call by yours truly, because it was a clean, solid match.

Brutus Magnus issued another open challenge and a bonus match saw him versus Eric Young. Very scrappy from the Brute and that ain't Chris Sabin opposing him, so nothing could save us from below-par wrestling and well ... there was no story to be told.

PPVs should not have fillers FCS! Sheikh Abdul Daivari hit the mic and whinged about his absence from the card, and then blaming the usual discriminatory crap as the reason. After Cornette burnt him with some old fashioned flaming, I could only gather the reason for this was ... a future face turn? Meh.

The 10,000 Tacks match showed too many obvious signs of a scripted scenario and it fucking crawled along.

More filler and the ODB thing, which took too long.

Sojourner Bolt botched with what I thought was a float-over, then had to climb up the turnbuckle again and a crossbody, or something. Must be channelling Rhaka Khan. Again, whole lotta nothing.

The Steiner vs. Joe match was not a match, just an exhibition of this Nation Of Violence, as Steiner won by DQ and there were no wrestling throws, holds or submissions. Just some biffo and they keep flogging each other (well, Joe doing all the floggin') out back. Right ... moving on.

Booker T vs. AJ Styles. On paper, that sounded superb and after all the filth up to this match, this became match of the night. Honestly, give these two twenty minutes to main event BFG and it would kick arse.

Lauren cannot act to save herself when she sees Joe and his knife covered in ... I mean, with a few droplets of blood.

I expected the Off The Wagon Challenge to confuse me with their finish, and it sure did. Firstly a DQ, Cornette restarts with a No DQ stip and nothing really comes of it. They are clueless for what to do with Beer Money right now.

The Ultimate X match was great but I can't get over the fact that A FUCKING CHARACTER FROM THE VIDEO GAME now holds the X-Division Championship. They need to quickly reveal Christopher Daniels and I'll settle down again.

The main event was fine and dandy until Jarrett and Foley became involved inside the ring. Then it became a slow, choreographed showcase of spots which I thought would reveal a turn from either Jarrett or Foley, or at least give Angle the title in a dirty manner.

Instead, we got Angle tapping out to the Deathlock when Foley had his back turned and attending to Jarrett. Nothing serious in a Sting reaction. And then a Foley chairshot on Angle was eaten by Sting instead. Nothing there, either.

Sting wins the title and instead of what I thought we'd get, it's Foley raising Sting's arm who seems unfussed about Foley - and it is Angle heading up the ramp giving stick to Jarrett. These two played out a vicious storyline leading up to the superb match at Genesis, so it's been done.

Let me clear the air. I don't hate TNA, but I hate that TNA keeps shooting themselves in the foot. It's all kinds of rancid rubbish and I'm almost done. I barely watch Impact anymore, as it is.

Overall PPV Rating: 3/10. Because AJ Styles is a champion again and the Ultimate X was fun. The rest is being flushed down the can as we speak.

Why'd I know they'd do this? Oh right, it's TNA.

AJ Styles is a champion again

So we can basically rule out a world title run now for a long time. Super duper. :rolleyes:

I saw the Joe interview segment, and seriously, wtf. Was he covered in shit? And my god, as if he didn't look fat already, he looked the most out of shape ever.
