TNA Destination X 2012 PPV Discussion

[Troy]

TNA World Heavyweight Championship
Bobby Roode (c) vs. Austin Aries


​

Staff will update this card when more matches are announced. Please keep all discussion regarding the PPV in this thread.

What do you think of the card so far and what other matches do you think will be added?

The first match announced for Destination X is Austin Aries challenging for the TNA World title. In order to get this title match Austin Aries had to vacate his X Division title so he has taken a big chance in order to get into the mainevent. Will this payoff for Aries or will he be left with no title?

I don't think Aries will win, I see Roode keeping the belt until Bound For Glory, but they can still have Aries win, and I'd be happy. That match poster looks weird though, with Aries in the background, I don't really like it too much.

 

[Crippler]

Whoever wins i will be happy with but the way TNA has been booking as of late it seems like they're gonna build Storm/Roode again but you never know with them. They like to SWERVE the fans allot.

Exactly this. I'm a big Aries fan and would have no problem if they swerve and put it on him but I think Roode-Storm at BFG with Storm winning the belt almost has to happen.

I agree, and at this point, Storm winning the belt from Roode at BFG is as predictable as it could be, but I still want it to happen.

Should be a cracking match but the storyline behind it is weak. It is too early for Aries to be in this position it would have meant more if they put it off. Still good to see the main event picture kept fresh.

AJ vs Daniels in a Last Man Standing match was announced on Impact. TNA's website has Joe vs Angle in a BFG Series match along with the X Division Tournament as well.

Aries winning the match seems like a long shot, but I have to agree with DeejayChris I don't see Roode dropping the title until Bound for Glory, which is a big pay per view for TNA and that would make for a great title change. Will it be given to Aries? Maybe, but I like seeing Aries the spot he is in right now, rushing him into a championship would do nothing for him, and to have Aries win, would be a slap to the face to James Storm or AJ Styles. Personally I think you have Roode win this match, of course don't have him cleanly pin Aries, but have them rematch at Bound for Glory, and then make Aries take the belt off him. For Hardcore Justice, and No Surrender, Kurt Angle and Christopher Daniels respectively could be viable opponents. They won't win the match but on paper both of them can put on a show if booked correctly. At the end of the day, I'm sure TNA is figuring out when to give Aries the belt, I'm saying a clean win at Bound for Glory over Bobby Roode would do the trick.

TNA getting on a bit of a roll by the looks of it. Strong lineup so far! Just that they need to move on from this Daniels/AJ feud. They are never going to better what they did in the past.

 

[Chris]

I agree, Keith. This Angle is one of the worst I've ever seen as well, but I really don't think it'll take away from the match, even if we've seen these two wrestle hundreds of times already.

Very strong card so far. This PPV could be real good.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

I don't mind Daniels/Styles. They are just two competitive rivals and even if they have a bond they still want to be prove they are better than the other. Of course it won't compare to some of their past matches but it's just who they are it seems to be. It's just going to be a match for the card that will probably add to the quality.

I also think at this point Roode/Storm at BFG might also be not be for the title. I think TNA is at the point where the match would still be significant enough if it wasn't revolving around the belt.

 

[Big Red Jericho Punk]

Daniels vs Styles is whatever personally I would like it to see for some BFG points but that won't be the case. At least we are guaranteed two excellent matches with Aires vs Roode and Angle vs Joe.

 

[Rated R Superstar]

I might be more excited to see Angle vs Joe. I remember their feud a while back, and remember thinking that was some of the best ring work I've seen in a long time.

 

[Keith]

Am I crazy or is this ppv not this Sunday and they only have three matches booked so far? That won't help the buyrates.

Looking forward to this PPV.
