Big Impact this week so I thought I would get the thread up a bit early. TNA cut their PPVs from 12 to 4 each year so this week's Impact will be a Destination X special, instead of it occuring on PPV we get to see it for free on TV. Shouldn't be too hard for TNA to create a good show this week based on the concept.

Already announced are Chris Sabin cashing in his X-Division title for a shot at Bully Ray's World title. Plus Aries vs. Roode in a BFG Series match. Add to that qualifying matches to crown a new X-Division champion and it should be a good show. Hopefully they are bringing back some decent names for that tournament.​

It should be pretty good. But, I have never watched Destination X before so how does it work. The X Division takes on the main division?

It used to be an all out X-Division show, nothing but X-Division / former X-Division guys. What you will get this time around though I have no idea.

 

[Keith]

Even if it is unlikely that Sabin leaves with the belt I have been pretty impressed with the build for that match and the closing promos from both on Impact were good.

Will check this show out when it airs on Challenge I like they have kept it.

 

[Crippler]

I really wish Challenge would show this live.

 

[Dale]

New X-Division title is going to be unveiled aswell tonight, glad all them budget cuts went to good use :hm:

 

[Crippler]

Naw! That is gonna be a budget looking belt as well. SPOILERS!

 

[Crippler]

really good opening video package here, it's actually getting me pumped for this.

 

[Crippler]

wait so what was the point of removing this from it's regular PPV 3 hour show to a 2 hour impact. Then claim it's a X-Division show just to have this Bully/Brooke promo

 

[Schmidty]

Hail Sabin!

 

[Crippler]

Mike and JB on commentary, this is gonna be a long night.

 

[Crippler]

Roode/Aries FUCK YEAH!

Please give it time

 

[Schmidty]

Roode/Aries FUCK YEAH!

Please give it time

This commercial break right now is pissing me off. I don't want to miss any of this match.

 

[Crippler]

That suicide missile dive was AWESOME! Roode must be in a ton of pain though.

 

[Crippler]

Damn that match was good, I loved the finishing stretch with all the reversals and shit. Weird to see Roode with 0 points and 0-and-4 so far.

ROODE LOSING HIS SHIT
