[What Would Kevin Do?]

I will probably tune in just to see the Shima Xion vs. Low Ki vs Austin Aries vs Jack Evans match. That's about all I care about.

[gwaruk]

rvd to steal the whole FN show? :/

[Triple Naitch]

Should I bother to find a stream of this? I haven't watched TNA in over 3 years.

[VSG]

Will PM you a stream if I find one. I will probably just watch the undercard.

[Triple Naitch]

;)

[CSL]

Christopher Daniels in a singles match PPV main. Good ol' TNA.

[Xero]

lol watching a promo for it and Bischoff just completely buries the division. While, yeah, he's heel and in-character, but still, it's ridiculous for that to be on TV, let alone on a promo for the PPV.

[treyace]

joe's gonna win this

[VSG]

Hot crowd though, I will give them that.

[Skippord]

a promo to introduce this guy to the crowd, probably should have done it before this but a good call

[Skippord]

is Doug Williams a heel again?

[treyace]

pause for chaos theory

[Skippord]

shots everytime Borash says ground and pound

[CSL]

holy shit did I just read that Haskins is wrestling Doug on Wiki??

[VSG]

Ya going on right now.

[treyace]

this haskins loser is generic as hell
finish him doug

[James Steele]

Borash is doing pbp? UGH.

[MIZantine Empire]

all the hype on this haskins guy and he botches twice in big spots of the match...meh next?

[MIZantine Empire]

Borash is doing pbp? UGH.
ya i guess taz had some family thing or personal business....

[#1-norm-fan]

Who in the blue hell is Mark Haskins and why did TNA think it was a good idea to put him in a match on PPV.

[MIZantine Empire]

haha ares totally called me out, im watching this illegaly

[Xero]

LOL at the stream mention.

[VSG]

Oooh he called us out!

[treyace]

A Double the future winner of the contract match tonight

[#1-norm-fan]

lol. Austin Aries. "All you so-called wrestling fans watching on illegal streams..."

[CSL]

twat, only found a stream as the match finished. Knew he was 'in' with TNA, did the European tour and worked with Hardy, Angle and more, I take it they were impressed. Wonder if it was an appearance because he knows Doug and they're familiar with him/he fits the style or if they're going to bring him in full time. Motherfucker.

[MIZantine Empire]

when did gen me get back together if at all? this is an example of the clusterf*** that is tna

[#1-norm-fan]

This is the first TNA PPV I've ever watched live. I know I shouldn't judge since this is more of a "gimmick" PPV not really meant to be a show of what TNA is right now... this is not impressing me though.

[VSG]

"Just like Lou used to do it, the Thesz Press by Shark Boy" :|

[#1-norm-fan]

when did gen me get back together if at all? this is an example of the clusterf*** that is tna

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. But Tenay just mentioned they "reconciled for the sake of the X-Division." So... yeah, clusterfuck.

Also, everyone is a face again it seems.

[redoneja]

Wow, The Stream group is dead for this one. I thought this would drum up more interest being an "all X-Division" PPV.

At least A Double is back on TV.

[treyace]

and im sure under the limit was the greatest ppv of this year right
lame

[James Steele]

and im sure under the limit was the greatest ppv of this year right
lame

A) It was "Over The Limit" and
B) It was better than this shit, and Capitol Punishment was a pretty damn good PPV.

[#1-norm-fan]

and im sure under the limit was the greatest ppv of this year right
lame

When did I say "under the limit" DID impress me?

[#1-norm-fan]

But yeah, every PPV WWE has put on this year has been way better than this so far.

[treyace]

A) It was "Over The Limit" and
B) It was better than this shit, and Capitol Punishment was a pretty damn good PPV.

LMAO dumbass of course i know that piece of shit ppv was called over the limit which it was not. Capitol punishment wasnt much better

[James Steele]

LMAO dumbass of course i know that piece of shit ppv was called over the limit which it was not. Capitol punishment wasnt much better

Based on what? Not enough flippity flops and nonsensical booking? Not enough Hulk Hogan? Not enough Joker Sting?

lets see
that godawful main event between random nobody miz and super cena
lawler against cole yuck for the hundreth time
whoever bella against kelly kelly horrible women's match even for wwe
the tag team championship match nobody gave a shit about
orton's continued slaughter of christian with no end in site
after christian got screwed out of his title in less then a week (good job wwe)
must i continue?

[CSL]

Yes. You absolutely must.

[#1-norm-fan]

...the tag team championship match nobody gave a shit about...

You lose credibility here. This implies that there ARE matches in TNA that people give more of a shit about.

[MIZantine Empire]

i expected alot more from that..hopefully the next ultimate x match delivers more..5 minutes of watching shannon moore climb that thing just to drop down on the middle of the rope didnt do it for me

[#1-norm-fan]

That felt horribly anti-climatic.

[treyace]

You lose credibility here. This implies that there ARE matches in TNA that people give more of a shit about.

this is it then back to the ppv
Great Job Shelly
anyway
TNA has a way better tag team division then WWE
tell me i'm lying
MCMGs and Beer Money alone are better then all of WWE's tagteams

[#1-norm-fan]

What the hell. I swear I remember Low Ki being charismatic on NXT. That rap he did was entertaining. What the hell happened?!

[#1-norm-fan]

this is it then back to the ppv

Yeah? They also have a better women's division. Unfortunately no one really cares because the booking is shit.

[MIZantine Empire]

What the hell. I swear I remember Low Ki being charismatic on NXT. That rap he did was entertaining. What the hell happened?!
he just isnt that good...he is good in the ring, but thats it man..there is a reason he was buried in the WWE

[treyace]

Yeah? They also have a better women's division. Unfortunately no one really cares because the booking is shit.

so your saying the the best of 5 between mcmgs and beer money wasnt a big deal and booked great?

[Innovator]

TNA fans, dueling chants don't work when everyone in the crowd does both chants.

[treyace]

because the e would rather have green talkers like a-ri lol then good wrestlers

[#1-norm-fan]

he just isnt that good...he is good in the ring, but thats it man..there is a reason he was buried in the WWE

<iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/P40c-Fosqt8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I thought he was good here.

That is like night and day compared to that boring promo he just cut though.

i mean ya that was alright, except for the uncomfortable pause when he was trying to remember his lines and the stereotypical diss on obvious flaws..listen i actually liked him, but he just didnt have it..

[#1-norm-fan]

so your saying the the best of 5 between mcmgs and beer money wasnt a big deal and booked great?

CM Punk-John Cena has been booked great and is more of a big deal by an INSANE amount.

Just saying, if we're gonna go back and forth with "good things" the company has done, you'll run out of TNA stuff WAY before I run out of WWE stuff.

[#1-norm-fan]

Also, booking faces and heels is really difficult apparently.

[MIZantine Empire]

Also, booking faces and heels is really difficult apparently.
that seems to be how tna has been for awhile now...like im pretty sure anderson is a heel, yet he still gets cheered for..the tna fans cheer for anybody

[#1-norm-fan]

They should change the motto to "Wrestling matters... I mean... it has to. Characters are WAY too hard to develop."

[treyace]

its pointless if supercena is just gonna squash punk anyway
punk is the best wrestler in the wwe and thats how they treat him
hella lame

[treyace]

damn jerry got rvd on that one

[MIZantine Empire]

its pointless if supercena is just gonna squash punk anyway
punk is the best wrestler in the wwe and thats how they treat him
hella lame
im gonna try to make this the last wwe thing i talk about in a tna thread, but i can not wait to see the pop punk is gonna get next sunday, or how hard cenas gonna get boo'd

[#1-norm-fan]

that seems to be how tna has been for awhile now...like im pretty sure anderson is a heel, yet he still gets cheered for..the tna fans cheer for anybody

I don't really mind fans cheering heels or booing faces so much. The fans aren't the issue. They'll do whatever they want. But actually booking heels and face.

Anderson is definitely a heel. That's definitely one example of a clear cut heel.

But most of the guys outside the main event seem to be faces. Even while feuding with other faces. It's ridiculous. Guys like D'Angelo Dinero, Samoa Joe, Max Buck... it literally seems like they have no idea what they want them to be.

[Innovator]

Wow Christy

[#1-norm-fan]

lol. Jack Evans just came off as the biggest pussy ever. "Sorry guys :("

[treyace]

A Double's time to shine

[Cuse8]

"everybody" clap clap clap.........smh

[Innovator]

Let Jack and Zema flip flip, and let Ki and Aries go at it.

[#1-norm-fan]

"everybody" clap clap clap.........smh

lol. Worst chant ever.

[Innovator]

I'm waiting for the NWO to arrive at the building halfway through this match.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Austin Aries with the leaping chest rakes in the corner... Awesome.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

It's good to see that Evans has somehow gotten even more spotty.

[treyace]

this match is great so far

[Cuse8]

I'm waiting for the NWO to arrive at the building halfway through this match.

lol :y:

[Innovator]

Wow Evans hasn't progressed since 2005.

[#1-norm-fan]

I think Jack Evans' mom is in the audience. There's a loud "Jack" chant that keeps starting that sounds like a puppy yelping loudly.

[treyace]

holy shit A Double with the knockout punch to evans lol

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Evan has some "new moves" but he's still the same, flippy ass wrestler.

And who is the fucking mouse voiced bitch chanting for Evans?

[treyace]

holy shit at evans

[Cuse8]

great great match but fuck could tenay have been any less enthusiastic?

[What Would Kevin Do?]

A FUCKING DOUBLE FOR THE WIN!!!

[What Would Kevin Do?]

With that said, they need to sign Zion too, because that dude has a bright future.

[treyace]

A Double with the win

[Xero]

Well now I have a reason to watch TNA regularly.

[MIZantine Empire]

god that dropkick/moonsault thing jack evans did was fricken awesome. i have to admit, hands down that match stole the show. styles and daniels have alot to pull off to even come close to that last match

[treyace]

that was hands down the best match i have seen anywhere this year easily

[Cuse8]

minus the beard austin aries looks a bit like rick rude

[treyace]

now i just want kendrick to win
abyss is outta place in the xdivision

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Well now I have a reason to watch TNA regularly.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Austin Aries is one of the guys in the business who should be huge. He'll never be as big as he should be though because he's "small." With that said though, he's a beast in the ring, great on the mic, and just like CM Punk, he "gets it." He has all the little nuances and little things down.

[Skippord]

Abyss sounds like a muppet

[#1-norm-fan]

I'm actually glad to see Abyss. This is getting monotonous. It feels like an indy show at a gym where everyone is pretty much the same generic looking lightweight I don't care much about using the same high flying moves.

[Emperor Smeat]

Great 4-way match with the :lol: moment being when Aires called Low Ki a banana.

RVD vs Lynn was great as usual since both guys have great chemistry with each other.

[#1-norm-fan]

lol. How long has Abyss been carrying a copy of The Art of War with him?

[#1-norm-fan]

I'd like to see the entire X Division come out at different times and interfere in this match ultimately leading to a Kendrick win.

[treyace]

I'm actually glad to see Abyss. This is getting monotonous. It feels like an indy show at a gym where everyone is pretty much the same generic looking lightweight I don't care much about using the same high flying moves.

typical wwe mark
no wrestlers just "superstars" right

who doesnt want to see exciting high flying moves

[#1-norm-fan]

typical wwe mark
no wrestlers just "superstars" right

Cause I said I didn't want to see high flying moves at all, right?

Look up the word monotonous and then get back to me.

[treyace]

"Nobody likes you Abyss Nobody" Classic

[#1-norm-fan]

Hey look! Famous wrestlers have arrived!

[Xero]

Hey look, a Russo-booked angle.

[treyace]

now thats how u get a reaction

[treyace]

lmao at shelly throwing confetti on abyss

[MIZantine Empire]

i can confidently say this, knowing aj and daniels is the only match left and it will not dissapoint..but hats off to TNA, this was a good ppv that borderlines on great. and as much as i hate TNA crowds, they were hot tonight, and it made it that much more enjoyable.

[Xero]

The only matches I didn't like were the tag match and the Brits' match. Only half-watching, but still, it's impressive.

But as I said before, I fully expect this to be a one-time thing and they'll default back to the shit starting tomorrow, and lose any and all focus on the X Division. Prove me wrong, TNA.

[MIZantine Empire]

sorry, but what was up with daniels music? total boner kill

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Pretty much agreeing with Xero here. Didn't care for the tag match, didn't see much of the Brit match ,or much of the AByss match. PPV hasn't been bad though. Doubt TNA can keep it up though. Still, A Double on TNA is always a good thing.

[MIZantine Empire]

lol at the guy who spelled "phenomenal" wrong on his sign

[#1-norm-fan]

AJ Styles needs a gimmick PPV that, by definition of the gimmick, excludes Sting, Angle, Jarrett, Anderson and the world title in order to main event. The man is basically Mr. TNA but they can't help but shove him below any upper-card WWE guy that comes in because it's easier to use stars built in a vastly more popular company than to actually make the guy that's been the face of your company into a major star.

I know I'm far from the first to make that observation but watching this I'm just thinking about how only when WWE's stars aren't present and the star quality of the PPV is purposely pushed way down that a homemade guy can main event. And this is why TNA will continue to be MILES behind anything relevant.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

The commentating in this match is fucking brutal.

[#1-norm-fan]

Yeah, I just thought about the commentary team. Was Taz not X-Division-y enough to call the X-Division PPV?

[Xero]

They should have brought back Don West for this PPV.

[VSG]

Mike Tenay has referenced the crippler crossface, ECW, WWE and a lot more this night apart from pulling quite a few Adamle's

[Jordan]

Lynn/RVD was good, the four way was cool, but I can't give a shit about AJ and Daniels.

[treyace]

so far so good
better then a cena vs r truth ppv main event where u already know whos gonna win a week in advance

[#1-norm-fan]

Styles is going to win

[Nark Order]

The crowd can't seem to give a shit about AJ/Daniels either.

[#1-norm-fan]

lol... I wasn't going to mention the fact that Styles was obviously going to win from the moment this match was booked because it didn't really matter. I figured it was all about the match itself just being good.

But since you mentioned predictability, thought I'd throw it out there.

[MIZantine Empire]

Yeah, I just thought about the commentary team. Was Taz not X-Division-y enough to call the X-Division PPV?
i guess he had fam problems, which stuck us with BOREash...

[VSG]

Like I said, I closed the stream after the Austin Aries match. I wasn't gonna be interested in the main card of this special PPV, let alone the regular ones with Anderson, Morgan, Sting and Hogan.

[treyace]

can't wait for money in the bank
cena squashes punk and randy does the same to christian
same old shit different ppv

[#1-norm-fan]

lol

I'd be way more willing to pay for a 1 hour PPV with just the two MITB matches than anything from TNA. Just sayin'.

[#1-norm-fan]

But then again, I like when matches actually have meaning.

[VSG]

So why are you so impatient for it to get here then?

[chrisat928]

Can TNA keep it up?

I kinda doubt it.

[GD]

Samosa Joe.

[St. Jimmy]

Here's my thoughts:

RVD/Lynn: Please let this be the last one. It was "good" but it shows both of their ages. Let it be done.
Aries/Ion/Ki/Evans: Evans needs a tan. Bad. That being said, AMAZING match with the right person going over. LOVE ARIES. Too bad it's TNA :o
AJ/Daniels: LOOK. TWO GUYS ARE WRESTLING AND NO ONE CARES. :/ they put on a good match for no one. Sad.

[St. Jimmy]

Oh yeah, Joe/Kazarian OH LOOK JOE JOBBED AGAIN. Fuck TNA.
Fuck the rest of this card that wasn't mentioned. Really.

[Innovator]

Let's get some feedback on the show from last night, via Twitter:

Dixie Carter: Wow. What a brilliant night for Impact Wrestling's X Division. I'm so proud.

Eric Bischoff: Enjoyed the PPV tonight. Big tip of the hat to RVD and Jerry Lynn. Story, action, and character. The way it should be done.

Bob Ryder: Really enjoyed Destination X. What a talented roster we have!

Borash: Mike Tenay is a class act and was a great pleasure to work with. Incredible job by the wrestlers tonight at #DestinationX

AAAAND last but certainly not least, brother: Hulk Hogan: PPV - Did you like it? HH

[Xero]

I think Hogan meant to Tweet "PPV - Did you like it? If one of you didn't, we're putting the X Division out of its misery for good. HH."

[Volare]

Nah, Abyss will win back the X-Division title in a couple weeks.

[Joesgonnakillyou]

I'm gonna start watching TNA again for one reason only: A Double.

[XL]

Decent but puzzling show.

I'm interested to see if any good can come of this. Presumably, if the PPV does well they will put some focus back on the X Division, but I'd guess the PPV won't do well, because TNA PPVs tend not to, which would give Hogan/Bischoff/Russo/whoever the chance to kill the division full stop.

The crowd were hot for a lot of the action/guys involved and that should be a clear sign that these are the guys and the type of action they wanna see. Will TNA give it to them? We'll have to wait and see.

All 4 guys in the Contract Match were impressive and the fans were into all of them. By rights all 4 men should be signed. Will TNA uphold the stipulation of the winner getting the contract? Would we care if they renegged if it meant bringing in another 3 talented guys?

As an aside, I have no issue with the Impact Zone fans chanting "EVERYBODY" or for them cheering the heels. It's nice to see fans appreciating what is happening. People call the TNA fans retarded or sheep but honestly, I think they're just a "smarter" crowd. Besides, nobody gives WWE fans shit for cheering Punk.

They featured so many guys that have barely seen TV time over the past month or so. Red, Robbie E, Shark Boy, Shannon Moore. On top of that they used Mark Haskins who has been given 0 exposure, Jerry Lynn who will now go back into retirement, Low-Ki, Jack Evans and Zima Ion who supposedly won't be seen again. They've tried to sell a PPV which is half full of guys we haven't really seen much of/won't see again, just seems a little "weird".

Either way, good show with plenty of action.
