TNA Impact Wrestling 18th July 2013 - Destination X LIVE Discussion

[Troy]

I recall there being a lot of talk about how TNA can do things to change the way the fans view the product, being able to have your champion at nearly every show would be a huge advantage to the house show numbers. They just have to make sure he limits his high risk offence while at the house shows to make sure he is in proper condition for the TV tapings, or if he lasts long enough to make it to a PPV.

It surely is a must to have the world champion on as many shows as possible. Granted there are situations where they can't make it but this is one big issue that TNA needed to address. If I went to a TNA house show I would automatically assume that I would see all the champions on the show, it isn't like they are running multiple shows each day which would split the roster over two places at once. If Sabin as champion means that that will be the case then it is a positive step in the right direction but one question will be can he draw a crowd.

I agree that on house shows as world champion with his knee issues he should keep things really simple, just like all wrestlers should do to be honest. Take the risks on PPV and on TV, not on house shows in front of a few hundred people.

Can Sabin really be used as a workhorse though given his wrestling style and the two recently blown knees?

 

[Troy]

He would have to alter his moveset and change the way he approaches most matches. It is a unique opportunity for him though to be World champion so I am sure he will push himself to the limit just to remain champion.

 

[Chris]

Sabin needs to do a Pullman (without the car accident) and alter his style to be more technical instead of high flying.

Once again TNA fail to promote their main event properly with the A&E's/Mafia stuff overshadowing Sabin's win as well as the Hogan's getting involved.

The Chavo/Manik/King three way was my favourite of the UX Qualifiers. Three on one show was too many.

Really enjoyed the Mickie/Gail Kim segment. Once again the KO's are proving one of the highlights of TNA.

Roode and Aries was my match of the night.
