Rock n Rave vs. MCMG vs. LAX was easily MOTN for me. Even though it was short I give that match well above 4 stars because it was so ridiculously fast paced, fun, exciting, and had some awesome spots with my main man, Hernandez (The vertical suplex was unreal... that was Lance Hoyt )
The comedy match with Team 3D and Sharky/Curry Man was hilarious. Bubba throwing fish into the audience, trying to take a bite out of a fish then pouring clam juice on himself
X title match was pretty good
Main event was good
Women's title was quite good
Elevation X was a waste of time. Thank god it's over and I hope Cowboy is fine because that landing looked bad. Please, please, please, please, please never have this match again. Please!
No just no, WWE live is just amazing, especially a live televised event. Everything just seems so important, the big set, the atmosphere is just incredible. Believe me, i went home and thought i just witnessed the greatest thing ever to see the taping and notice it was crappy.
TNA just doesn't have that big time feel. More indyish.
IMO i just think WWE plays it safe.. The wrestling in TNA is just so more technical. They know they have nothing to lose, since they are the low market brand in the wrestling business. They just let it all hang out. Ive watched WWE and TNA for quite a bit. and the actual wrestling in TNA IMO is alot more risky, and entertaining than WWE. I mean, who bans the shooting star press?
3 Way: Really good match when it picked up as expected. Nothing less than ***3/4 stars
Lethal vs. petey, had a smoking break here but what I did see was quite impressive. Definately ***, have to watch it again for final rating.
Kaz Eric vs. Monster - I actually REALLY enjoyed this match although I thought it was quite predictable what would happen all in all. Still certainly *** though, which is for Reign and Eric young OMG.
Womens match; this is wrestling, nuff said. Possible MOTN. ***3/4
3D vs. CurryBoy - Fun match went a little too long however. **1/2
Roode vs. Booker - too short, which hurt the match although I know it is building towards a big blowoff at Lockdown. **
Elevation X - Same spots from last year were used which hurt the rating, however there is only so much you can do with this, If I were TNA id go back using the Ultimate X match as a signture match, instead of this scaffold match. Nasty bump though, hope Storm is alright. **
Main event: Well....my stream died and from the other stream I had no audio and pictures so Ill watch this again before further review.
In general: KICK ass Pay per view with the right balance of comedy matches and good fucking wrestling. Knockouts division once again sets the standard for National Exposed women's wrestling as always. I am going to name my son Rellik.

i've gotta question your judgement. why wouldn't the people want to see exploding/electric cages?
cheap pyrotechnics = buyrates
If the cage actually exploded or it was actually electrified, hell everyone would wanna see that.
I was referring to the fakeass BS that they put on last year, the good people of St.Louis had to sit thru not 1 but 2 wrestlecrap matches.(Even tho the Team 3D/LAX match was pretty good besides the gimmick)
BTW, there was a dark match apparently:

- Prior to the Destination X PPV, Roxxi Laveaux defeated Angelina Love in a dark match.

I thought this was a good PPV. The atmosphere was great, the wrestling was great and seeing certain wrestlers get pushed was great. I don't see how people are saying this PPV is as bad as Hard Justice. I guess TNA can't impress all there fans but they impressed me today.
Ive only watched the opener but my GOD Hernandez is an animal. LAX champs again please, then break them up....Huge fued where Hernandez comes out on top but Homicide looks really game. Hernandez is a star and would be a world title contender immediately and Homicide in the X division. DW after the homicide dive before the boarder toss is why I love that guy.
X Title was a good match kind of a dissapointing finish with all the interference but still entertaining match.
I dont think the pyro spot for EY will ever get old for me. Good match great alter ego for EY.
KO 3way was a pretty good match, I think it kinda exposed ODB, the other 2 girls are much better workers IMO.
Anyone else hear Rhyno say "How was that?" at the end of the Elevation X promo?
The Fish Market St Fight was not very good imo, fish dont make good weapons. 3d making weight then Devine bringing them treats and the Curry Man ding dong fishing was funny. So is 3d gone or did Sharky just screw up in his promo.
Roode vs Booker was good, Booker T hasnt looked this good since his wcw run as champ. It was all for the post match stuff though. Traci looked in real pain or some good acting, either way it was effective. Sharmell coming back looney toons was fun too.
Elevation X...I made peanut butter and jam sandwitches. Got back when they went up and it was meh, IMO a risk that isnt needed and a match that is boring.
Good ME to set up the ME for Lockdown which IMO is the bigger PPV anyways. Overall the PPV was good and sets up Lockdown to be a very good PPV.

I did. I thought I was hearing things, lol.
I saw everything except for the 3-way, the X-title match, and the main event, and it was a great ppv from what I saw. The only thing I was disappointed with was the strap match, even though Sharmell's return was awesome. I can't wait to watch the opener now that you guys have said great things about it.

Was a good PPV imo. You know when the tna championship is not on the line, it's not an important PPV.
The Elevation X match could've been better though. I'd have loved to see a gore on the top but they have to think about the wrestlers' healths, so for what it was worth, it was good.
The Roode-Booker match was poor.
However, the other matches were quite good. I actually enjoyed the team3d match, so are they out of TNA now?
