Destination X - March 21, 2010 - General Discussion thread

[psykohurricane]

Is there a PPV coming up this month. It sure doesn't look like it. There hasn'T been that much promotion about it. Sure you got a tag title match between Beer Money and Morgan/Hernandez. But it been threated like and afterthought. Sure you got the X-divison title match between KAz and Doug Williams. Again been treated has a afterthought and KAz wasn'T even on T.V last week. Sure you got the ultimate X match but they don'T mention it at all or when they talk about it it just for a few seconds like if it's not that important.

For the last three week there wasn'T even a run down of the card on IMPACT to remind the fan of what to expect at Destination X. They've been so busy talking about the big move to monday nights that they completly forgot about the PPV just like they did for Genesis back in january. Then they wonder why people don'T buy their PPV's. It's because you don'T care enough about promoting it. The idea of featuring the X-division during the PPV is a great idea but if you don't see the X-division on T.V. every week, why would you want to pay 35$ to see them on PPV.

TNA should realise that the PPV's are the most important part of the revenue stream and they should focus on promoting them so that the casual fan would care enough to buy a PPV. If they don'T care why should we and that's exactly what Destination X is becoming a PPV that TNA doesn'T care about to promote it so if they don'T care about it, why should we?

This ppv could well be a disaster because there's be ZERO build up for it whatsoever. To be perfectly honest, I'd completely forgotten about the ppv until earlier in the week when I read about it online. TNA seems to have almost entirely stopped doing anything relevant with its mid-card, tag team and women's division for the most part and now, with so much attention spent on Hulk Hogan within the past month or so in particular, it seems that building up and trying to sell ppvs is next up on the list. I know I'm definitely not paying $35 bucks for it.

Well TNA did a better job at promoting the pay per view tonight. Destination X has its matches all lined up for March 21st, and it is actually a PPV that I am looking forward to. Not only do we get to see the Hogan Flair protege match up for the Title, but we also get a Ultimate X match with two great tag teams involved. I am also looking forward to the Angle/Anderson matchup, because I can see this is a great up and coming feud that could last a while.

Is anyone going to order this thing at all?

23 mins from showtime, and I was thinking about doing it, or really any talk about it. Dud?

I'm interested in another Anderson/Angle match. I could watch the Hogan/Flair antics, though I don't feel that's worth any money. Morgan heel turn? Ultimate X match? These are things I'd like to see, but is it worth the money?

I'd like to see TNA do a better job of building up a PPV in the future. True that the competition right now is Wrestlefreakinmania, but that's no reason to coast through to Lockdown. This should have been a X Division building show, and instead we get Shannon Moore.
