TNA Destination X PPV Results

~TNA held their Pay-Per-View Event from Norfolk, VA, last night. I'd say the show definetely had its moments and other times where just painfully dull. Here's what went down:


-Homicide & Hernandez (The Latin American Exchange) beat Jimmy Rave & Lance Hoyt (The Rock & Rave Infection) and Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin (The Motor City Machine Guns) in a sick match to become the #1 contenders for the TNA Tag Team Titles.


-“Black Machismo” Jay Lethal remains TNA X-Division Champion after beating Petey Williams.


-Kaz gets beat on for the majority of his match with Rellik & Black Reign after his tag partner, Eric Young, abandons him in the middle of the match. However, Young returns as “Super” Eric Young and wins the match for his team.


-TNA Women’s Champion Awesome Kong continues on a roll and defeats ODB and Gail Kim in a three way match to retain her title.


-Before the Team 3D/Shark Boy & Curry Man match, Brother Ray and Brother Devon have to weigh in under 275 lbs. or they’ll be fired. Both members of Team 3D make weight so they keep their jobs and are able to start their match.


-Shark Boy & Curry Man defeat Team 3D in a “Fish Market Street Fight”. Right. After the match, Team 3D shove some guy from Survivor who’s at ringside. Security hauls the guy away even though he did absolutely nothing.


-Robert Roode beats Booker T. Because of this, Traci Brooks, who accompanied Booker to the ring, has to receive 10 “lashes” from a leather strap by Roode’s assistant, Peyton Banks.


-Peyton Banks whips Traci Brooks with the leather strap 10 times, and then she whips her some more. Robert Roode even takes a shot.


-Eventually, Sharmell, Booker T’s wife, who had her jaw broken by Roode a few months back, makes her return to TNA and starts hit Roode, Banks and everyone in sight with a leather strap.


-Rhino kicks James Storm off Elevation X to win their match.


-Samoa Joe, Kevin Nash & Christian Cage defeat TNA World Champion, Kurt Angle and TNA World Tag Team Champions, AJ Styles & Tomko in a six man tag match.

That opening tag match was just fire and it was a great choice as an opener. Who knew Hernandez could fly over the top rope like that.

Speaking of that tag match, the Motor City Machine Guns have got to have some of the best double team moves in wrestling today.

Who cares if Petey Williams only knows one move, I know if I could only do one move, it would be the Canadian Destroyer.

“Super” Eric Young is now my new favorite TNA gimmick.

Kong wins again, she’s a monster.

Seriously, whose idea was it to make the Team 3D/Shark Boy & Curry Man match a “fish market street fight”. There is a thin line between something that’s silly and funny and something that’s silly and ridiculous. Guess which one this falls under. Well, I really shouldn't talk since I just said "Super" Eric Young was my new favorite TNA gimmick.

For a match that was billed as providing so much excitement, the Elevation X match with Rhino and James Storm was, hands down, the most boring match on the card. Yes, the concept is different and unique for TNA but if you’re gonna be different and unique, do something so it’s watchable.

I know I said if I could only know how to do one move it would be the Canadian Destroyer but I’d say AJ Styles’ Spiral Tap is a close second.

The crowd was so hyped after the first two or three matches and after that, they were just dead. I’ve never seem an event where the crowd starts out so hot and the show’s main attraction (Elevation X) and main event (the six man tag) take them out of the show completely. That’s just sad.

3/6 TNA Impact Results

~Another episode of TNA Impact was on last night, this was their last episode before their latest Pay-Per-View event, Destination X, this Sunday. Here's what happened:

-The show starts with Kurt Angle trying to motive his troops (AJ Styles and Tomko) for their matches but AJ can’t stop thinking about Karen Angle, Kurt and AJ’s wife, which angers Kurt.


-It’s announced that Booker T and Robert Roode will face off in a match at Destination X, where the two will be handcuffed together and accompanied by Traci Brooks and Peyton Banks, respectively. If Roode loses, Banks will recieve 10 "lashes" from a leather strap from Traci Brooks but if Booker loses, Brooks will get the "lashes" from Banks instead. Booker and Roode can’t wait tell then and they end up brawling around the ring.


-Kevin Nash beats one half of the TNA Tag Team Champs, AJ Styles in a “street fight”.


-The next match is a battle royal, where the only way to win is to throw your opponents over the top rope. Everyone in this match is scheduled to compete at Destination X. The winner of the battle royal will get to add a special stipulation to their match. Competing in the match is Jimmy Rave, Lance Hoyt, Alex Shelley, Chris Sabin, Hernandez, Homicide, Eric Young, Black Reign, Rellik, TNA X Division Champion, Jay Lethal, Petey Williams, Shark Boy, Curry Man and Team 3D.


-Speaking of Team 3D, they still have to weigh under 275 lbs. to compete in the match. Neither of them make weight and Brother Ray proclaims that he didn’t want to be in the match anyway. He then explains that they didn’t make weight because muscle weighs more than fat.


-Curry Man ends up winning the battle royal. Instead of Curry Man making the special stipulation for his tag match with Team 3D on the PPV, his tag team partner, Shark Boy, makes the stipulation. Shark Boy says that if Team 3D loses their match against them, that they’ll have to leave TNA.


-TNA Tag Team Champion, Tomko, beats Samoa Joe.


-The “unofficial” TNA Drinking Champion, Rhino defeats Judas Mesias. Rhino is then sneak-attacked by the “official” TNA Drinking Champion, James Storm.


-TNA Women’s Champion, Awesome Kong, beats Salinas in a non-title match.


-Christian Cage defeats TNA World Champion, Kurt Angle (rocking the tube socks), in a non-title steel cage match. Cage then gets beat down by Angle, Tomko and AJ Styles after the match.

The whole "Black Reign" gimmick is just horrible.

Since Rhino destroys the TNA Drinking Title, I hope we never see or hear of it again.

Another one bites the dust against Awesome Kong. She is one of the few things TNA is doing right. Just keep feeding her small fries and have her build up the prestige of the Women's title. Then, when someone beats her for it (I predict never), the victory will mean that much more.



I thought the main event between Angle and Cage was pretty solid, definitely match of the night.

The card for Destination X show doesn’t seem all that bad, I think it’ll turn out to be a decent show on Sunday.

2/21 TNA Impact Results

TNA’s Impact television show aired last night, here’s what happened:

-AJ Styles and Tomko successfully defended the TNA World Tag Team Titles against Kip James & Bob Armstrong. Kip James turns heel after allowing Armstrong to get pinned. Kip James then attacks his long-time friend, BG James.




-Newlyweds AJ Styles and Karen Angle (Kurt Angle’s wife) go on their honeymoon. And yes, she’s also still married to Kurt Angle. How that's legal, I don't know.

-A celebration ceremony is held for the new TNA X-Division Champion, “Black Machismo” Jay Lethal.

-Kaz beats Rellik

-Petey Williams becomes the #1 contender for the X-Division Title after beating Sonjay Dutt and Johnny Devine thanks to interference from Scott Steiner.




-Brother Ray of Team 3D defeats Shark Boy & Curry Man.

-A miscommunication leads to Gail Kim and ODB losing to Miss Jacqueline & Roxxi Laveaux. A brawl breaks out between Kim and ODB after the match.

-Kurt Angle (rocking the tube socks) beats Booker T and then is challenged by Kevin Nash to a one-on-one match for next week.

Kurt Angle and AJ Styles are apart of a stable [group] called the Angle Alliance. Kurt Angle is married to his wife, Karen Angle. However, AJ Styles just recently get hitched with Karen Angle. Despite this, it seems the group is as tight as ever. I’m sorry but if my “friend” was married to my wife, we would no longer be friends, I would no longer be married and someone would have to stop me from killing that former “friend”. But that’s just me.

Nash vs. Angle next week should be a bore.

I really enjoy the whole Curry Man gimmick. I hope TNA keeps him on TV.

I’m glad Kip James turned heel since I’ve always thought he was better as a bad guy. However, once this feud with BG James ends, I don’t see TNA doing much with him after that.

I think they could have drawn out the tension between ODB and Gail Kim a little longer. They just started having issues with each other last week and already they want to kill each other. Very poor pacing for that feud.

Current Card for TNA's "Destination X" PPV

TNA’s next PPV, Destination X, takes place on Sunday, March 9 from Norfolk, Virginia. Here’s the latest card for the show:

Kurt Angle, AJ Styles & Tomko (The Angle Alliance) vs. Samoa Joe, Christian Cage & Kevin Nash.

Rhino vs. James Storm in an Elevation X match

TNA X-Division Title Match: Jay Lethal [champion] vs. Petey Williams [challenger]

Booker T vs. Robert Roode

The only match I want to see at the moment is the X-Division title match, everything else just doesn’t seem of interest to me.

This PPV will mark the second time TNA has used the Elevation X match. I didn’t see the first one, so I’m not all that familiar with it. Here’s a clip:

ROH can use TNA Talent After All

(TNA tag team, The Motor City Machine Guns)


~Yesterday, ROH announced that TNA wrestlers, Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley, collectively known as the Motor City Machine Guns, would be in action for a couple of their shows in April. This seemed pretty odd because TNA has prohibited their talent from working for ROH and many other independent promotions since May 2007.

Luckily, the folks at pwinsider.com helped shed some light on the situation:

“We’ve received a lot of queries stemming from ROH announcing that they were booking TNA stars The Motor City Machineguns for their Mid-West events in April. There isn’t as much to the story as one may think. ROH has never been prevented from using TNA stars, but have backed off on using them since they moved to PPV. ROH has been allowed to book TNA talents as long as they abide by the same rules as any other promotion using TNA talents – the matches cannot appear on television, PPV or be sold via any retail outlet except by the promotion itself.”
