tjb000 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Wait? People actually buy TNA PPVs? Seriously though, I seem to recall hearing reports about TNA having pretty bad PPV buyrates and that lots of people actually stream the PPV illegally for free. I haven't gotten a wrestling PPV since... 99 or 2000 I think. Back then it was like $30 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh_Showtime Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Last PPV I ordered was WM23. I thought TNA PPVs were like $20 or something as recently as Genesis. And with the lack of hype $45 is laughable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haloed Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Huh, according to my cable provider the Destination X PPV is $34.99. I'm super tempted to order it. Could be one of their best shows yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 The last TNA ppv I paid for was Against All Odds 2005 I've seen 90% of them live though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just read something (which was about the price for Slammiversary) which says it was $35 SD and $45 in HD, so it might be the same for this. Edit: Just read on wiki GenMe vs. tba at the PPV, is this true, or has someone made his up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go through DirecTV so the price I quoted came from DirecTV.com. It might be different for cable outlets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be, plus the HD thing mentioned about makes some sense too I guess. Do you have HD? Plus one of the members of Gen Me said they would be part of Destination X, so I wouldn't be surprised if they shove a tag match with them in it without bothering to advertise it until the show actually happens.

Fantabulous Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Given some of the matches, I am tempted to watch Destination X spoiler-free the next day. But I have absolutely no faith, none at all, that TNA won't find some way to screw things up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go on Directv webiste, the page I'm assuming you were on says "Available Formats[?] : SD , HD" By default it has a tick next to HD, if you select SD on the site the price is 34.99 http://img1.uploadscreenshot.com/images/main/7/18917392487.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just kind of took what was there after searching for TNA Destination X. 34.95 is still a little too pricey for me, especially with NCAA Football 2012 coming out on Tuesday and Madden NFL 2012 coming out next month.

ShaunGBD Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I'm honestly watching it for free, I go out to watch WWE PPV, I will watch this PPV for free. It might be better then anyone WWE puts out lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucleardonkey Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I seriously believe the two main events alone (AJ/Daniels and RVD/Lynn) will make it well worth the $35 price tag so I didn't hesitate to actually pay for it making it my first PPV since Mania that I've paid for and my first TNA PPV since Hardcore Justice. I'm predicting this to be the best PPV of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slagaholic Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Ultimate X was a fun match. The finish was a little clumsy but I can't imagine it's easy to climb that jungle gym while 20 feet in the air.

JTandSilentBob Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I want Low Ki to win. Then I want Elix Skipper to come back. Then I want XXX to reform. Ahhh fantasy booking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never cared much for Skipper. I'd much rather see either Shiima or Evans win and see what a fresh face in can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hated Prime Time by himself. But that Stable was my favorite TNA stable ever. They were in probably the best steel cage match TNA has ever had. I felt they meshed so well. Individually I'd much rather have Austin Ares win. I feel like he has more long term staying power than Evans or Shiima. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh_Showtime Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I second Aries too. He could be a multiple time champ and have matches with the likes of Kaz, Joe, and Shelley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTandSilentBob Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Jerry Flynn > Jerry Lynn I kid I kid. Good Match. Would of been a great story of Jerry Lynn being frustrated if Mike Tenay didn't tell us he was frustrated every 3 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nucleardonkey Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 As long as the main ends clean I'm saying this is the best PPV put on by either WWE or TNA in the past 2 years at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Abyss vs Kendrick match was slow, and overbooked. Abyss bloodied from a Kendrick punch? The Doug Williams vs Whomever match was awkward and should have been done on TV, or Xplosion. And Eric Young/Shark Boy vs GenMe was a good match but lacked name power. The 4 way match was good though, Lynn/RVD was decent, but they've done better and I missed Joe/Kaz but I doubt it was a 5 Star Classic. Personally, I enjoyed Mania much better. But I was there live so I might have had a different experience than anybody else. Dream come true for me. Not to mention the TNA crowd kills this stuff for me. "Every-Body" really? Really?

I don't buy the name power thing on Gen Me vs. Young/Sharky I just watched it for what it was meant to be, a fun semi-comedy match. Abyss/Kendrick was building on the story they've been telling for the past month or so with Abyss. It was slow because he was showing his dominance. The blood from the punch to me made since because of where it was, in reality it's not the hard to split an eyebrow if you hit it right. I agree on Williams/Haskins though. They should have brought in a bigger name there. As far as openers go Kaz/Joe was a killer match, not 5* but easily 3*. I was really disappointed in Mania. The only good match was Taker/HHH in my opinion. But that seems to be the way Mania is now...one amazing match and 9 sub-par - terrible matches. This to me as been wrestling as I know it...mostly clean finishes, straight up athletic bouts, stories that didn't involve 1000 restarts, run ins, and ref bumps. In my opinion this is the best PPV in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
