Destination X: Booker T. vs. Robert Roode

[A.J.]

Singles Match
Booker T. vs. Robert Roode​

Well from what TNA.com said "According to Booker T, he will make a special challenge to Robert Roode on Thursday's "iMPACT!" regarding their Pay-Per-View bout." So that tells me we shall see some kind of gimmick match, and I really cat think of any other match other than six sides of steel, but Lockdown is next months so that be pointless, but knowing TNA that wouldn't shock me. But I see some kind gimmick that will go on to long and Booker coming out on top and him helping to get Roode be over will be done as Roode will go no where after this. Should be interesting match, but all their matches haven't been good, but they been watchable

The only thing I can see is Booker challenging Bobby Roode to a elevation x match...hey the wwe had two elimination chambers in one night so TNA will have two elevation x matches so they can try to out-do them.They will probably has this as another kind of revenge match like the with Rhyno and James Storm.If anybody thinks else please explain to me why?

I think its gonna be some version of a street fight. Its just I don't think it will be in a cage with lockdown so close. A parking lot brawl makes the most sense with Booker waiting on him week after week

No offense to you, but if T.N.A. does this.. they might as well sell themselves over to McMahon and the W.W.E. right now. Because the Elevation X match is crap. At least the Elimination Chamber was something people looked forward to. Its not a fricken "X" platform that you can do very little on.

I seriously see the match being some type of No-Disqualification match. Street Fight, Last Man Standing, Falls Count Anywhere.. something along those lines. Booker T. was once known as "G.I. Bro" so I could completely see the match being some type of "boot camp" match, especially since T.N.A. loves to rename the same match over and over to put a better "shine" on it.

Honestly, this feud is turning into something really hot. Its better than the actual Main Event feud they have going between Kurt Angle and Christian Cage. At least in the Booker T./Robert Roode feud, they aren't having others involved to make you confused as to who's feuding with who.

Overall, however, I can't see Robert Roode winning the entire thing. I mean, I've heard Booker T. was in T.N.A. to help push younger talent, or the original talent.. however the whole storyline was started by Roode drilling his Wife in the jaw. With that said, if Roode wins in the end, whats that say? That you can get away with knocking a female out cold.. as long as you weather the entire on-slaught of the vengeful Husband/Boyfriend/Family member?!

this feud is really good, and it's one of the reasons for a lot of people
to watch the ppv, I believe, any way for what the match could be I think
it will be some sort of street fight or NO DQ or maybe special stipulation match
but I don't see it to be Elevation X at all, this thing will be over when booker t
wins and I agree with TheOneBigWill, but I'd love to see it ends in iMPACT.

Jesus. How many times have we seen this match? TNA booking makes me angry. How come each Robert Roode fued takes about 4 months to complete? It feels like it's been going on as long as Angle/Joe. TNA want you to get behind him. But by the end of each fued you find yourself bored of him. It's not his fault, he should be given more varied opponents.

Its not just Robert Roode feuds, it seems that way with a lot of them. The MCMG/Team 3D, Storm/Young, Storm/Rhino. T.N.A.'s creative team doesn't seem to be too quick on addressing future storylines for their talent.. so they just draw out their current feuds another month while they finally get it through their heads that they need to move them on-ward.

I'm honestly loving the Booker T./Robert Roode feud, since they really haven't had too many single's matches that have ended fairly. So it needs to culminate, its just I don't exactly want to see it go on forever. And something tells me Lockdown seems to be the place it could end. Why? Because if both guys end their feud here.. without Roode running away to make a cage seem logical.. then where do either guy go from here, into Lockdown?

The Lockdown p.p.v. seems logical to end feuds, because you can't "run." Short of Booker T. jumping the gun, having a cage be his "special stip." (which would be entirely pointless at this point) Then I see Roode ultimately either cheating to win, or running away to end the match without a strong winner.

The reason I enjoy this feud, is because both guys seem to work well together. Ultimately I think Booker T. has always worked well with just about anyone he's been matched up against. I think a progression from here, would be Booker T. possibly going against either James Storm, or possibly Kurt Angle. (assuming he won't be Champion after Lockdown) Meanwhile, would it be too soon to say Robert Roode v. Samoa Joe for the Heavyweight Championship, as Joe's first title feud?

Why is this a strap match? Couldn't they have had a singles match again? I assume they'll be facing each other in a cage match next month. This feud has gone on way too long. I'm bored of it. And I'm yet to see a strap match that I like. At least it has a normal name.

Only one thing good has come out of this, and thats the whole putting Robert Roode over, man hes so far heel now its crazy and he can really play it well and has great mic skills IMO. But this match strap match? Pft why whats the point? Ive never been a fan of strap matches at all and this one will suck. They should have made it a last man standing or something else but ah well! Winner Booker T but feud will not be over as more than likely will culminate at Lockdown, and look to see an appearance from Sharmell in this one I think.
