OVERALL 2 GOOD MATCHES AND IT IS UP TO YOU IF YOU WONT TO BUY IT.

TNA is great but this is their worst pay per view. Even the Ultimate X match isn't that good. Save your money and get one of TNA's best PPV's Final Resolution which includes TNA's best Ultimate X match.

TNA has had much better ppvs then this one.It looked like a WWE ppv!!! (And believe me thats bad!) Only Ultimate X Challenge, Hardy vs Abyss, and Sabin vs Stevens are woth the money. And to the guy below who wrote the review about Destination X sucking, I agree but you forgot to mention Jeff Hardy vs Abyss ehich was an awesome match. but besides the three matches I mentioned above, destination X was a snorefest. So far amazon only has 3 tna ppvs (final resolution, against all odds, and destination x) so i suggest you go to shoptna.com because they have a ton of TNA DVDs, T-Shirts, Posters, and much more.

First off- What the hell are these guys smoking to give this 5 stars?

Yours truly, a huge wrestling fan, and a longtime TNA fan tells you NOT to buy this show, it will give you the wrong message about TNA.


AMW and 3lk vs. Team Canada- An ok match but it was filled with ridiculously stupid spots. Still, not bad. ** (out of 5)

Chris Sabin vs, Chase Stevens- ok X match not that good though This is what the X division is about to me, not trainwreck spot fests but actual wrestling. a ''shocking'' debut at the end (No, it's not the shockmaster. Sorry) **

Phi Delta Slam vs. DOD- Oh dear, yours truly Dusty Rhoads who works now for wwe booked this match... Go figure. It sucked, Two Bam Bam Bigalow wanna be's vs. two 7 feet tall talentless Harris Bro's. Thankfully when Dusty was fired these two left and so you won't have to watch them every saturday at 11pm on spike tv. DUD

Dustin Rhoads(Gold Dust) vs. Raven dog collar match- This is when Raven was out of shape and Dustin.. well he sucks as always. Very attrocious match. *

Kevin Nash vs. The Outlaw(Billy Gunn)NODQ- I beg you, skip this match! This makes the previous dog collar match look like Piper vs. Valentine! The hideously crappy ending booked by Dusty made this sink even worse. DUD

ULtimate X match- Finally, a good match on the show. I absolutly LOVED this match, hopefully it is released on a seperate dvd, because good as this is it isn't enough to buy the show. ***1/2

JJ vs, DDP- What year is this? I don't think Dusty remembers... And it isn't a coincidence that a month after he becomes booker for wwe Goldust and Vader appear. Meh match. Not that good, barely worth a watch. * 1/2


I beg you BEG YOU! Do NOT buy this show. Against all odds, Victory road, Turning Point, Final Resolution, and Lockdown are all years better than this!


But be sure to catch TNA this thursday night from 9-11 on spike tv for their first Primetime special! I gaurentee that it will blow this crappy show out of the water!

This may not add up to Lockdown or No Surrender or Unbreakable or Turning Point, but it was still wild. Final Assault Falls Count Anywhere was BRUTAL!!!! Both Abyss and Jeff Hardy rule! Ultimate X was one of the best Ultiamate X's And Chris Daniels is finally X Division Champion!!! Bullrope match was pretty good. First Blood Match was awesome. Main event had a shocking ending, a major swereve.

i've heard alot about this ppv and i have got to get it


ill just talk about the matches im most excited about.

jeff vs. abyss falls count anywhere.
this match is gonna rule.


ultimat x match featuring a.j styles christphor daniels ron the truth killings and primetime elex skipper.

ddp vs. jeff jerret

and kevin nash vs. kip james in a first blood match.

First off, Im not a kid. But I know someone is actually looking for a review of the event and Ill give a short one before I rip into a guy for dissing tna.


REVIEW: The show to me was actually pretty good. I really enjoyed wcw so thats why I found the main event to be awesome. Nash/Gunn(aka outlaw aka kip james) was a good brawl. Ultimate X was awesome. The other matches werent to bad and overall this event was one of the worst tna events but it wasnt to bad thats why I gave it 3 stars.


Now let me "pwn" this kid:

QUOTEListen I hate T.N.A.Their shows are so boring and too hyped and in reality is a bunch of crap.I am a WWE fan to the bone and here is why T.N.A sucks and cant hang with the big boyz; QUOTE

Oh, I know how boring insane Hardcore matches and lucha libre type of matches can be. WWE has 3 matches with build, and the rest have HEAT build up. Your lucky to get 2 standout matches.


QUOTE Jeff Jarrett is their champ every damn month and he represents the company. QUOTE
Well isnt a champ supposed to represent the company? Jarrett has a southern style of brawling/wrestling and if you cant get itno his matches but can get into resthold galore HHH then you my friend have problems.



QUOTEA.J Styles is way overrated as a competitor.He walks around with that X division belt like its something but yet thats the only belt he's famous for. QUOTE

I agree, at times AJ Styles can be overrated but at the same time Underrated. He is an amazing athlete and deserves anything he gets. Hes only famous for the X title? Well hell hes only what 26 years old? Hes got plenty of time to grow. He will also go down as the guy to end Jarretts 11 month world title reign.
QUOTE
Abyss is described as a monster sort of like Kane in the WWE but yet he loses a whole bunch of matches to underrated competitors.QUOTE
Eh whats Kanes pay per view record since the draft? Really bad. He also constantly loses. I really like Kane and Abyss and the fact is, though they lose their ppv matches they are still high on the card.


QUOTERaven whines all the time about this and that ever since joining T.N.A .He thinks he deserves to be the star of the show but is constantly on an losing streak.No comment. QUOTE

No Comment? You just commented. How old are you kid? What does half the heels in wwe do? Whine and bitch. Look at Christian(in wwe, not tna), Y2J, HHH, Angle, JBL...they all bitched and moaned. Also, Raven has won 5 of his last 6 pay per view matches.


QUOTEAlso their p.p.v's are way overhyped(Hard Justice,Sacrifice,Unbreakable,Bound For Glory)and it seems like if they see one high flying or exciting move that their asses litterally fall off. QUOTE
Hard Justice had 3 weeks build so dont tell me its overrated. Plus overhyping is somethin ALL federations did. How many times has JR or King or Coach said "the biggest event in our history" And you say if one exciting move is seen they go insane, what about JR when someone uses a chair or sledgehammer? All I F'n hear is "BAH GAWD, THIS IS A SLOBBERNOCKER AND INSANE STOP HIM REG BAH GAWD"


QUOTEOn the other hand WWE has better wrestlers like Batista,Kane,Chris Benoit,Randy Orton,Triple H,Kurt Angle and others and this proves why T.N.A is WWE's bitches.Period! QUOTE
HHH is boring and has the same stlye matches all the time, so dont go there. The reas are good as are the TNA guys. Both companies have their share of talented superstars.
