So I watched TNA Destination X

The show overall was nothing special, even the Ultimate X match was meh. but two matches can easily be called instant classics:

RVD s Jerry Lynn

Brilliant, simply brilliant. Some amazing spots with the chair and great pace. Jerry Lynn didnt miss a beat.

Styles vs Daniels

A true TNA match, it had the quality of the old TNA. Really long match with literally no breaks, they just kept going.

I really recommend wtaching just those two matches, especially Lynn vs RVD.

Have you seen RVD/Lynn's ECW matches?

Indeed I have

Obviously the DX 2011 match is not the same, but given their age (Well Jerry's) they delivered a true ECW style match showing off some really solid wrestling and counters. A really nostalgic battle and thhe crowd was into it.

It's generally not my style but I was also surprised at how well those guys went. For what it was a neat little match.

What did you make of the TNA contract four-way? That for me was the highlight of the night and the epitome of Total Non-Stop Action.

I guess I'm a nostalgic sort of guy, I like matches with a good back story and history. The contract match was crazy but I couldnt really connect with it. I mean, I did enjoy it but Lynn vs RVD and Daniels vs Styles left made a lasting impact on me. It also helps that those matches were well worked.

Guys

CM Punk vs John Cena MitB 2011

Lived up to the hype and more, left a wide grin on my face

. Match of the Year 2011. It must be seen. Simply must.

Same vibe as Cena vs RVD at ONS 2006 but so much better

I think the PPV has been one of the best they've ever produced since...

...s**t I can't remember.

Hell, even Destination X was decent. What is it with this month + North American wrestling?

Some of the results seem to be straight out of an E-Fed but all in all the show was entertaining and it's been a relatively strong year PPV wise for the WWE.

Going into the show I thought two MitB matches were overkill but I thought both sets of competitors did well to seperate those matches from one another and while ADR winning the Raw version felt redundant (doesn't he have a claim for being No. 1 contender?) it was good to see Bryan pick up the surprising victory and hopefully he can inject himself into the SD main event seamlessly and we're not given a CM Punk 2008 type reign.

Cena/Punk was a great match and a powerful reminder that Cena can indeed wrestle and work a good match. Granted, his size does get in the way at times (it did in this match during some of the chain sequences) but when it comes to constructing a match and delivering on the big show he generally pulls through.

Christian/Orton was another fine entry into their loooong feud and while Christian on the belt seemingly confirms that the feud will unfortunately continue it's good to see him have a longer reign and hopefully it leads to Bryan/Christian down the track.

I even thought Henry/Show was surprisingly decent with both men working a precise match which featured some real good selling from the Big Show. I have a strong opinion that wrestlers such as Show, Kane, Henry and Kahli shouldn't be in the WWE anymore but both competitors brought it tonight.

All in all, if you enjoy wrestling, you'll enjoy this show.

Eyce - I'm trying to think of the last time fans were in universal agreement. While it's been a good year for the WWE PPV wise (Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, Extreme Rules and now Money in the Bank) the last time the IWC reacted like this could be the ol' ECW reunion PPVs.

It's a good month to be a wrestling fan, and the Chicago crowd...I haven't seen such an electric crowd in ages. That was a wrestlemania quality atmosphere!

Probably the best PPV I've ever seen. Definitely the best belated birthday present for myself ever. My birthday was yesterday, but with the time difference it was still the 17th there. I wish i could have been there to celebrate my bday, especially in that Chicago crowd. They weren't hot, they were MOLTEN!

For a moment, when Cena and Punk were on the turnbuckle, i thought Punk was gonna go old-school and do the Pepsi Plunge. For those that don't know, that's a Pedigree off the turnbuckle.

It was awesome that Colt Cabana was in the front row. I wasn't sure where he was sitting exactly until Punk came out. I wouldn't be surprised if WWE were trying their best to keep their cameras off Cabana, but Punk certainly made it hard for them when Cena kept landing right in front of him. Plus i liked seeing Punk looking and talking in Cabana's direction, and even a little high five at one point

The shirt that Punk wore was being sold at the arena and it sold out before the event even started! Even though it looks to be just a 'one night only' deal, i hope this shirt becomes available in the days to come.

The WWE tweeted "It's 12:00 a.m. ... Do you know where your WWE Champion is?"

CM Punk tweeted back "The champ is...here", and uploaded this pic.

Thanks, WWE, for an awesome event and for not dropping the ball (yet?) with this epic angle.

Did any of you pick on what exactly Cena said to that exec guy and Vince?

Jah - I didn't actually hear but Cole on commentry said Cena told Vince he didn't want to win this way.

shinhawk - Cara will have more than enough time to heal whatever bumps or bruises he has after his first suspension.

Wow...did anyone see RAW just then?

I so sure they were dropping the ball with the tournament to crown a new chhampion but then...wow..honestly didn't see that coming.

So Punk spent his first day as the unemployed champion at Wrigley Field with Cabana to watch the Chicago Cubs play.

And he brought the belt with him.

I hope this leads to a lot of pics popping up of the belt in different places like it was a stolen garden gnome.

Big Pete · Posted: Wed Jul 20, 2011 1:12 am�� Post subject:

I thought it was a really sensible Raw with Vince doing his best to save face after MitB only to be punished by the end of the show.

I didn't like the results of the tournament, I would have preferred to have seen a mid-carder receive a push and at least make the finals but otherwise I was content with the show and it's got me anticipating what will happen next week.

Great idea killjoy, would love to see Punk do that.

No doubt that the Pepsi Plunge is a dangerous move, but i think the main cause of it being 'illegal' for Punk to use it ever since he joined the WWE is cause HHH used the Pedigree.

Waka · Posted: Thu Jul 21, 2011 1:29 am�� Post subject:

Pepsi Plunge is definitely a cool move, but it's got nothing on the Canadian Destroyer.

I'm loving the C Montgomery Punk pictures!!! He's a funny guy. That belt is gonna travel the world.

What I'm most excited for, is that they're finally gonna (and Punk totally called it) change the ugly ass belt, that spinny thing was the stupidest design choice ever imo. I reckon the only way the spinning icon thing would be acceptable in any way is if it was Triple H's face from the No Mercy N64 game.
