Well, without further ado, I would like to submit for your discussion pleasure a thread for the PPV Event TNA's <TABLE STYLE="filter:glow(color=red, strength=7">
<font color="white" size="2" face="Comic Sans Ms">Destination X</table>.
Let's run down the line up...
Sting - Personally don't give a fuck. TNA spent close to a million dollars to have Sting appear at TNA events this year, and they fucked it up. How hard is it to book Sting? He's the fuckin' Stinger! I am sure any one of us could have pulled a better story line out of our asses in 30 seconds then this shit. The ONLY up side of this is that Alex Shelley might be able to get over from it. But come on, seriously, he is a legend who wears face paint and kicks ass...TNA has promoted this as not a legend, but a man, who doesn't wear face paint, and will probably get his ass whooped by JJ, Shelley, Eric Young, and whoever Jeff "had on speed dial". (My guess...Scott Steiner...potentially a gold mine or TNA's worst financial choice yet) No sell, if anything, made me want to buy the PPV less knowing I will have to suffer through the terrible booking of it.
NWA World Title Match - Meh. Christian will retain. He will be fun, Monty won't suck since he is working with Christian, basically count on a carbon copy of their match a few months ago. Nothing too exciting.
Ultimate X - Worth the price of admission alone. I have heard that this might be the main event this evening, and I think it 100% should be. Not to knock or down play Christian's reign but this is the match that has people excited. I would pay $30 to see Daniels and Styles fight in Ultimate X (WAY over used, but let's call a spade a spade, still and entertaining match), add in Samoa Joe (Still not a fan of him, but excited to see what he can do tonight) and you have a match that I think it marketable. Plus this is the main fued, it's been going in one form or another for a good 9 months now. This should be the end of it. After this I think a lot of the attention will be taken off the X Champion and focused more on the International X (whatever they are calling it with the four major countries fueding) and I have no problem with that. Personal guess is that AJ wins tonight, and soon drops the title to Killings. Sorry got a little side tracked...
8 Man War - Whatever...anyone notice that this is supposed to be the old TNA Guys (JJ, AMW, Abyss) vs. the new former WWE guys turned TNA guys (Rhino, 3D)...but they have Killings who has been there since day one...meanwhile the old TNA guys are being managed by Gail Kim...fucked up booking in my estimation.
James Gang...fuck it...New Age Outlaws vs. LAX
LAX has been around for like 2 months, and has already had a shit load of problems with rotating members. Oh and a 66 year old man, Bullet Bob Armstrong (loads of repsect for him) is going to make an ass of himself trying to wrestle tonight. Comedic value, 25 cents...but we established that Ultimate X was worth the price alone, so technically you get 30 dollars and 25 cents worth of entertainment.
Before Skippord rips my head off...
CHRIS FUCKING SABIN (USA) vs. Petey Williams (Canada...I am assuming) vs. ??? (Mexico) vs. ??? (Japan)
Uhhh...kind of hard to talk about this since I only know one of them will be in the match for sure...but it's the X-Division so you know their will be big spots (with no build up :shifty: ), and this probably won't be that long of a match...
Lance Hoyt vs. "Maverick" Matt (Bentley)
Team Canada vs. The Naturals
Alex Shelley vs. Jay Lethal
The last three I didn't feel deserved much build up, so there they are. Not a great line up, but like I said, I am buying this for Ultimate X alone, anything else is just gravy. Plus there will be a new debut tonight, like I said, my guess is Scott Steiner...any one else have a guess?
