*Official Destination X Discussion Thread*

[taikimoto]

Seventh Reason you said it all in your recap. Unbelievable how
they continue to drop the ball. On top of all that its the second
PPV from them that the audio was broadcast out of sync.

They didn't just drop the ball. They took the ball, covered in the shit off samoa joe's back, threw it down and pissed all over it. I have no hope anymore.

I'm not sure if anybody else has seen Ric Drasin's wrestling school videos on youtube but he posted a match between K-Dubb (who btw is an amazing worker) and a 12 year old that was more entertaining and had better wrestling than 90% of Destination X. Here's a link-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1wh0aJSWvg

I didn't think Destination X was as bad as people made it out to be. The first half was WEAK, and basically a mini-impact. Wasn't too fond of that, but on the hand, this show had some memorable moment. I'm not going to harp on a 30 sec joe promo with his knife, or the filler BS to kick off the PPV, but more of the meat and potatoes of the PPV.

- Abyss vs matt Morgan - Say what you want, but i liked this one. Morgan is a much better heel, and i'm enjoying this fued. Its certainly not over yet, and think this fued is going to get more hardcore and violent in the future.

- Joe vs Steiner ... I remember someone saying they wanted badass joe back, well Joe appears to be back with the new nation of violence. I thought this should have been a actual match. I did like Joe's new look.

- AJ vs Booker - Solid, nothing special to me.

- Beer Money vs 3D solid...the fans were loving this one. Wierd finish but oh well.

- Ultimate X - This was real good. 4.25. I would this match was better than anything the wwe's put on this year. I thought this was about the same as Raw's EC, however i simply can't get over the fact, a guy who isn't in the match wins the title, but anyways, i thought this had a ton of good spots. I looked like the ropes were higher. The match was spotty, but it didnt feel spotty. For example the last MITB, you can tell they were setting up for spots by moving the ladder in certain spots, and other things like that. I thought this match flowed and made sense. I also liked the leap of faith at the end. Good finsh, good match. Wasn't as good as Jarrett vs. Angle, but i'd say this is around a top 3 match so far this year ( angle/jarret, Black/Nigel, Raw EC's my picks so far)

- Sting vs Angle - I was suprised by this one, after some reviews. Sting clearly isn't what he once was, however pretty well booked match. I really thought the announcers hurt this match. You can't have the announcers go through the motions on a match this big. They should have been going nuts. All in all pretty solid 3.5-3.75


Overall....6.5 due to the weak first half. Final two matches were very good. I think this will be one of the more memorable TNA PPV's this year.

Agreed. Unfortunately, it will be memorable for all the wrong reason.

I did like Joe's new look.

- Beer Money vs 3D solid...the fans were loving this one. Wierd finish but oh well.

-He looked haggard as fuck, looked out of shape, and looked like he was covered in shit, but sure.

-I loved the way Cornette (or was it Foley?) came out and reversed the original decision and made it no-dq only to have it end in a count out.

Well, as far as moments go it featured:

- Joe's new Nation of Violence character, and bloodying up Steiner.

- AJ wins legends belt

- Cody Deaner debut

- Suicides first match/ X-division championship/ Ultimate X match

- Then top it off with Angle vs Sting.

Not too bad imo, and they you hanging on certain things, and set some stuff up for the next ppv. Had they used their time a little better, this could have been a great ppv.

I meant Joe wearing pants rather than shorts. Idk what he was covered in, my DL wasnt very good. The 20 second promo didnt really bother me.

I think it was cornette. It was pretty lame way to end it, but BM just walked out, what can you do. Imo, its not half as bad as Edge winning the championship, in a match he wasn't in. (Never going to drop that, at least not for a while)
