Apparently that was the main problem with last night's TNA Destination X PPV. Other than the last two matches, it was a thirty dollar episode of Impact. Of course I have video of the Knockout matches so you don't have to pay thirty bucks to see them. The show led off with Angelina Love, Velvet Sky & Madison Rayne vs Taylor Wilde, Roxxi & The Governor. It's not like it was horrible but why was it on a PPV? The feud is just getting started. So it was a time waster with a very abrupt finish. But as always, Taylor brought some good energy to the match. She has star power but she's been poorly booked. The Governor was barely in the match and for some reason Kip wasn't at ringside. Of course the other match had Awesome Kong defending the TNA Knockouts Title against Sojourner Bolt. I hate that name so I'm going to call her Josie. Josie is a very good wrestler with some personality but is she going to turn heel again next week? It's ridiculous. Again, this was a nothing special match not worthy of a PPV. And Josie even botched a couple of moves. How could TNA expect any fan to be interested in this match? They also had the Win A Date With ODB nonsense. It was a setup of course as the guy who won is a Canadian wrestler already under TNA contract. I couldn't be bothered watching this wretched crap. And the sad part is this isn't the worse stuff TNA is doing right now. But check out the matches for yourself.

They never gave a reason for Madison to turn heel or, for that matter, Rhaka Khan to turn face. Did they give any explanations on the PPV?
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding? They told Madison to use facial expressions to show that she's a heel. But she just started with TNA. Why make her a face to begin with? When Josie got the title shot, it split up the Kongtourage and Rakha went with Josie. So they haven't really done anything with those two except have them oppose AK & Raesha. TNA does a lot of this kind of silliness way too quickly.
ReplyDeleteThe Knockouts are severely lacking focus. TNA are just hell bent on finding their "new Gail Kim", and fail to make better use of the women they already have. People have been saying for months they need to to turn Saeed. Sadly she just jobs.
ReplyDeleteKong needs to drop the title at Lockdown at least and take some time off to heal from her injuries. In that time, Saeed can be written out and brought back as Melissa.
