^First of all, I was so tempted to type UFC over and again :p

Secondly, I am hoping they are gonna focus a good amount on the X division matches and hence would be some good in ring action.

As for Aries/Roode, I am thinking of an Aries heel turn and take the title. Face turning heel on a heel opponent is farfetched but it kinda strikes me good with Aries.

I don't understand them adding the slopfest tournament but I guess I like a couple of the names involved.

We could get some really awesome matches out of the tournament if you look at the talent involved.

The problem is that for a one night Tournament to work it has be the main focus of the ppv which isn't the case here. It just feels like overkill along with the other matches there are going to be too many rush matches. The way it should work is build the show around the Tournament and then have smaller matches every now and again to break things up.

Final thoughts on the show:

The main event looks good expect it to feature a good mix of arieal and techical wrestlers along with some brawling and it should set at a good pace too. Can't see beyond a Roode win which is fine as it is too soon for Aries to have the title.

Last Man standing match should be another tight encounter althrough I can't see them bettering their previous efforts and both these men need to move on. I expect great crowd heat and some good story telling from these two. Am going for a feel good Styles win.

The Bound for Glory match is very hard to call as it does seem for that for the first time in a long time that the company are interested in pushing Joe strongly again, also at this stage Kurt is a guy happy to be this sort of talent over and doesn't really need the win, still he is one of TNA's top draws still so it would be no suprise if he did win. This is a big chance for Joe to step up and prove that he is on the road back to being a top performer. Again I doubt they can reproduce what they did in 2006/07 but it should still be a good match.

Don't really know anything about the Last Chance Fourway, but am guessing than it is a lost chance for someone to get a contract or a title shot or something of that irk. No nothing about the guys involved, but again because of the X Tournament I think having a fourway X match is overkill and it will get lost in the suffle.

X Tournament has a decent line up and seems fairly wide open althrough King would have to be a big favourite, as you know I have issues with this.

Overall I like that they have made this event into a Division themed event and the main event, Last Man standing and BFGS matches all like they will offer plenty of quailty, but really less really would have been more.

Will watch it when it airs on Challenge later in the week I think. I believe this would be my first TNA ppv since Slamm last year.

I have high expectations for it, first time I can say that for a TNA event in a while. Slammiversary was great, and the build-up to this one has been as well. Only thing that could bring it down is some sloppy X Division Tournament matches.

Like someone already mentioned, i'd imagine there to be a few short matches given the number of bouts already on the card.

There's 6 matches just based on the X-Div title, then 3 non X-Div related that should get decent time.

- TNA Wrestling President Dixie Carter has announced that tonight's Destination X pay-per-view event will kick off with the Last Chance Fourway Match between Dakota Darsow, Rubix, Lars Only and Mason Andrews. The winner of the match will immediately face Kid Kash to open the X Division Tournament.

Other tournament matches slated are Kenny King vs Doug Williams, Sonjay Dutt vs Rashad Williams and Flip Casanova vs Zema Ion.
No rush for me to get a stream on immediately :y:

King vs Doug could be a very good match time dependant.
