TNA - TBA

So after all my recent slagging off of TNAs recent product, i only went ahead and got tickets to the show in Coventry(UK). Now if it was A WWE show in Coventry i would have been just as eager to get tickets, but unlike WWE it seemed a lot easier to actually get the tickets before they sold out.
Now the big question in my mind is, what the hell is the card gona be? The Show isnt until June, that's 12 weeks, a quarter of a year - in Wrestling terms it's a long time, in TNAs crazy crash TV terms it's a lifetime.

So the first thing i did after purchasing the tickets was make sure that i'm up to date with the product, i'm not gona go crazy and start watching Impact, but i made a start at least with the Destination X PPV. Now don't get me wrong, i usually watch the shows because 2 or 3 fights catch my eye, but this card had nothing to entice me, nothing that would make me want to watch it live (and stay up til 4am to see the main event!). That being said everyone on the show worked there asses off and delivered possibly the most solid top to bottom TNA PPV yet, quite bold claims but there were no absolute bombs on the entire show.

LAX vs. Motor City Machine Guns vs. Rock and Rave Infection.
What a great opener, not a fan of Hoyt or Rave, but they did well, LAX picked up the win to get a shot at the TNA Tag Champs.

X Division Title Match: Jay Lethal(c) vs. Petey Williams.
Hate Peteys current gimmick but he did need a change, sadly this gimmick is just not really what he needed, it at least means Scott Steiner does'nt have to wrestle all the time, Lethal picked up the win to retain after So Cal Val interfered to counter the interference from Steiner.

Kaz & Eric Young vs. Rellick & Black Reign.
This was a good comedy match, but with good solid wrestling too, the ending with super Eric was the icing on the cake and could set up an interesting character, aslong as it's not like The Hurricane. Eric & Kaz picked up the win.

TNA Knockout Title Match: Awesome Kong(c) vs. ODB vs Gail Kim.
For a womens match this was pretty good stuff, still can't get too excited about women wrestling but it was miles better than anything WWE has offered, hopefully TNA can keep it up. Awesome Kong won to retain the title.

Curry Man & Shark Boy vs. Team 3D.
This was a fishmarket street fight, a lame gimmick, but executed pretty well, Team 3D are a bit stale but at least they know how to play the bad guy, no-one comes close to inciting hatred as much as Brother Ray. The finish was lame but overall a good match with Curry Man & Shark Boy getting the win.

Robert Roode vs. Booker T
The only match that dragged, thankfully it was short and the post match was interesting enough to help you forget about it. Was'nt awful, but felt like a TV Match. Roode picked up the win, in another stipulation match. What happened to guys just fighting for belts??

Rhino vs. James Storm.
Okay this match was stupid, but entertaining, who does'nt like watching a good bump now and then, but this match just seemed a bit pointless, a bump for bumps sake to end a match. Anyway Rhino got the win and James Storm hit the mat with his head, maybe it will knock some sense into him so next time they offer him an Elevation X match he can tell them to jump. Maybe Russo should Jump... hmmmm.

Samoa Joe, Christian Cage & Kevin Nash vs. Kurt Angle, AJ Styles & Tomko.
I hate tag team main events, just seems a bit 'Monday Night Raw', surely people pay to see one guy fight another - Kevin Nash probably had his best TNA match though (not saying much) and Joe got the winning by forcing Tomko to submit.

Overall a really enjoyable pay per view, with way too many stipulations and not a singles main event, it wasn't perfect but a step in the right direction. Now for my next challenge, sitting through a whole episode of Impact - wish me luck.
