Hive Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I watched Destination X, it was pretty good. The highlight was of course the 4-way for a TNA contract, good stuff by all involved. AJ Styles vs. Daniels and RVD vs. Lynn were pretty good as well, though I expected a bit more. There were no outright bad matches on the card, which was a pleasant surprise. All in all, it was a pretty good PPV which I definately enjoyed more than this year's Wrestlemania. It was dwarfed by MiTB though, but that's a different story... I hope they'll continue this focus on the X Division as it could make Impact! interesting again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Self Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I applaud TNA for pushing Gunner & Crimson. Not because they're especially good. I've never seen either wrestle and don't even know what Crimson looks like, but because they're fresh new guys. They tried pushing Matt Morgan before, and it didn't work. Whether or not the failure was down to the booking, or Matt Morgan himself is irrelevant. He's old hat at this point. He's been up. He's been down. He's shown pretty much everything he can do. How is that going to draw in new fans? Same with Joe. Same with AJ. Same with all the guys who have been around for years, bumming around the midcard, waiting for a push. So I applaud TNA for pushing fresh faces that could potentially catch fire and capture the interest of new fans, over 'better wrestlers' who have been around forever.

The Bus Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I pretty much agree with Self. Neither of the guys are bad and IMO they are proper credible wrestlers to be trusted upon. Of course one can discuss the level of push they are given, but it is a good thing to give the ball for a fresh face. Morgan just doesn't have the "it" in him IMO, but Joe would deserve better. He gets a reaction and is entertaining in many aspects. Maybe it's the look and Russo/Hogan/someone isn't digging it. About the older guys... I think I'll never get bored with Kurt Angle and Scott Steiner. Sting was a little *meh*, but now he is something else than a part time legend. Again one can discuss the variables with Sting's new gimmick, but it really is a gimmick instead of a half of a gimmick. For me it's entertaining, as it is something else and bold executed well.

Blackman Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 How does R Strong dare call me not a true wrestling fan because I might not be purchasing the PPV's. I am one of the faithful who purchases his special dvd from the ROH shop. TNA is not getting my money until they start producing quality material. But I guess Destination X was pretty good.

Do you mean Austin Aries? If not when has Roddy told you your not a true wrestling fan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 R Strong? I'm guessing he's talking about when Austin Aries said people who stream wrestling pay per views aren't real fans. R Strong= Roderick Strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackman Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Damn it. too late to edit. I always mix those 2 up. Ya so I meant Austin Aries. I guess I proved his point that I'm not a real wrestling fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Damn it. too late to edit. I always mix those up. Funny story with those two. I went to an ROH show in Cleveland one time. They were a tag team facing I can't remember who right now, Low Ki and Rocky Romero maybe? Not sure, but people kept chanting "Austin Aries" and Aries was getting frustrated no one was cheering for Roddy. So he'd keep stopping the match and try and start Roderick Strong chants and they just didn't happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be the bomb to have that tag team back in business in TNA. Or ROH for that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TakerNGN74 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 For the first time in a long time I am watching the show tonight and my first thoughts are that the new Sting Charcter is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. He not only looks like a moron but he sounds like one too, TNA or Impact Wrestling whatever they call themselves now adays really needs to realize that although Sting is older he is still talented and so he should be used like this. Enough said that is all for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
