I will be doing a post show podcast located here if you are interested in listening to my thoughts after the show:
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/michaelbarton/2011/07/11/tna-destination-x-post-show-report
Tonight, wrestling is going to matter at TNA's Destination X PPV. The current card lineup looks like this -
Douglas Williams vs. TBA
This is an open challenge match, and it's always interesting when the opponent is a mystery. Who could it be? I am hoping it is someone new who will debut tonight, but we will have to wait and see. Williams is a very reliable worker, and will have a good match with whoever it may be.
Alex Shelley vs. Robbie E vs. Shannon Moore vs. Amazing Red
Ultimate X match to determine the number one contender for the X-Division Title.
Ultimate X always provides highlights no matter who is involved, and tonight we have four very capable performers who are certain to put on an amazing display. Give it enough time and it could be the a match that gets talked about.
Austin Aries vs. Zema Ion vs. Low Ki vs. Jack Evans
Winner gets a contract with Impact Wrestling
Okay, the only issue I have here is that, if TNA is smart about it, they will find a way to hire all four of these amazing and diverse competitors. This is going to be the match of the night. Again, give it enough time (and they usually do on PPV), and this has the potential to be a four star plus match. I am sure there will be a number of unique spots during this match.
Rob Van Dam vs. Jerry Lynn
For those that were not around during their feud, RVD and Jerry Lynn tore houses down across the country for ECW in the 1990's, and while most guys come out at Lynn's age and can't go like they used to, Lynn still has all of the attributes he did in the 1990's. This will be another good to great match.
Samoa Joe vs. Kazarian
Notice a pattern yet? Every match has the potential to be something special. TNA typically has a few throw away matches on PPV, but this one doesn't have any. Joe is on a serious losing streak, and this one could truly go either way.
Christopher Daniels vs. AJ Styles
I expect a heel turn by Daniels here in some form or fashion. Another high quality match and these two flow together very well in the ring.
Abyss vs. Bryan Kendrick
X-Division Title Match
This looks like it may not be very good, but I have gotten into the Kendrick looney character. And Abyss is a credible worker. This could be very good, or it could be average. Regardless, if this is the only match that is below the 3 star range, that's fine.
Look at the names involved here. Tonight is not a typical TNA PPV. Most matches have the potential to be 4 star range, and anyone who watches this show is certainly going to be entertained for three solid hours. You will see incredible in ring action here, and if they keep all of the nonsense and screwjobs out of this, this is the show people will be talking about all day Monday.
Take Care and God Bless,
Michael
