Well, I'm expecting Joe/Angle and Lethal Lockdown to both get quite a bit of time.(About 30 minutes each.)
I just hope that they don't fuck around with Lethal Lockdown and throw the monsters and Kaz/Young in there.
Because I can't see them not having a Tag Title match 2 PPV's in a row, which would mean AJ/Tomko are out of Lethal Lockdown.(Plus, I think it's gonna be like the end of the Angle Alliance with Angle and AJ/Tomko all losing their titles)
The only guys I see definitely being in LL are Booker, Roode, Storm, Nash, Cage, and Rhino. They could do a Nash/Cage for AJ/Tomko match, but it's more likely the winner of the 3 way at DX will face AJ/Tomko.
How do you know AJ & Tomko won't lose the tag titles before Lockdown? We could end up with LAX beating AJ & Tomko for the tag titles on Impact and then defending the Gold against the Guns at Lockdown.
That's true. That would be a good theme for the show actually to have the entire Angle Alliance fall.
Anyways, my predictions for Destination X:
SIX MAN TAG TEAM MAIN EVENT
"The Samoan Submission Machine" Samoa Joe, "Big Sexy" Kevin Nash, & "The Instant Classic" Christian Cage vs. Kurt Angle, "The Prince of Phenomenal" AJ Styles, & Tomko
- I expect the faces to go over. With Joe/Angle already being set for Lockdown, it would make sense for the faces to go over here and give Joe some momentum heading into his big title match. I can see Angle Alliance winning it, but I would expect some kind of miscommunication between AJ & Kurt leading to Joe getting the pin over somebody. My Pick - Samoa Joe, Kevin Nash, & Christian Cage
ELEVATION X
"The War Machine" Rhino vs. "Cowboy" James Storm w/Jackie Moore
- Not a fan of this match type just because of the danger, but it will definately keep the fans on the edge of their seat out of fear, so in that aspect it will work. This time around its a little harder to predict a winner because last year it was pretty obvious that it would be AJ to take the fall because he's used to taking big bumps, but neither Storm or Rhino is really known for taking such huge risks. I'm going to pick Rhino to win out of a gut feeling. My Pick - Rhino
STRAP MATCH
Booker T w/Traci Brooks vs. Robert Roode w/Payton Banks
- This has been the best built match on the card, and making it a strap match makes perfect sense given the whipping Roode & Banks gave Booker & Traci and now Booker finally has Roode in a situation where he can't run away. This will be an intense match Whenever the stipulation is somekind of humiliation after the match, the face almost always wins, but I have a funny feeling we may see Roode get another really big heel moment and cheat out a victory and then whip Traci Brooks himself. My Pick - Robert Roode
X DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP
"Black Machismo" Jay Lethal (c) vs. "Maple Leaf Muscle" Petey Williams w/Rhaka Khan
- This should be a good X title match. I'm going to pick Lethal to retain, but I wonder where they'll go from here after this. Will they begin Lethal's feud with Sonjay or will he go on to feud with Steiner (who still has the Feast or Fired Cases)? My Pick - Jay Lethal
TNA KNOCKOUTS CHAMPIONSHIP: TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
Awesome Kong w/Raisha Saeed vs. Gail Kim vs. O.D.B.
- This could end up being a bit of a show stealer. These are definately the three best the current women's division has to offer, and it'll be great to see how they do in there. I don't see Kong losing the belt though. She'll retain at least until Lockdown. My Pick - Awesome Kong
FISH MARKET STREETFIGHT: IF TEAM 3D LOSES, THEY LEAVE TNA
Shark Boy & Curry Man vs. Team 3D w/Johnny Devine
- I'm going to go ahead and pick Team 3D to win, but I would not be surprised if they ended up losing just to further there humiliation. Having them leave TNA for a few months could also be a way for them to get out of the "weigh in" stipulation. Like I said, I'll pick 3D, but don't be surprised if they lose. My Pick - Team 3D
TRIPLE THREAT TAG TEAM MATCH FOR TAG TITLE SHOT
The Latin American Xchange w/Salinas vs. The Motor City Machine Guns vs. The Rock & Rave Infection w/Christy Hemme
- This should open up the show. They could have a fun action packed opener for sure. I'm going to pick LAX to get the win and then get the tag title shot on the first live Impact on 3/27. My Pick - LAX
TAG TEAM MATCH
Kaz & "Showtime" Eric Young vs. Black Reign & Rellik
- I'm going to pick Kaz & Young to win just to end the feud My Pick - Kaz & Eric Young
TNA's site just updated the stipulations on the team 3d vs. sharkboy/curryman match. team 3d will NOT be fired if they lose the match, only if they fail to make weight.
I think it's pretty obvious that they will make the weight and go to win the match. I can't see them jobbing on PPV to Curryman and Sharkboy, even if it a "Fish Market Streetfight".(Still can't get over the sound of that.)
When I really look at this card, it doesn't really look like a throwaway to me at all.
Every match besides the Fish Street Fight and the monsters vs Kaz/Young interests me.
There could be 6 potential ***+ matches, if they all deliver. I hope the Main Event goes over well, kinda making up for the Turning Point Main Event in a way.
TNA's website is having a poll that lets us decide the decision of the cage match on Impact. If you watch TNA Today, the tape clearly shows Angle landed first so I voted for them to reverse the decision. I suggest you guys do the same, if only to get rid of this stipulation where the faces have a handicap advantage.
with tna teasing young having his "inner ego"" or whatever i really really hope young grows balls cuz i like him alot but he needs t og ocrazy on rellik/reign
The card is shaping up nicely. The sleeper is gonna be the 3 way tag match, if given time it should be amazing. Great for an opener I think, but I still can't figure out how Reign/Rellik find their ways onto the ppvs each and every month...
My picks:
Joe/Nash/Cage
Roode
Kong
Lethal
Team3d
Storm
Kaz/Young
LaX
