ACE and Other Vuz, Vuz, Vuz Jabronis Preview: TNA Wrestling's Destination X 2007

Tonight TNA Wrestling brings you its third annual Destination X pay per view event. I hope you like gimmick matches as usual, we’ve got a lot of them.

Wade: Hello, and welcome to the same PPV as last month with the only change being the name. I can tell you without excitement that there is really no match I'm looking forward too. There are way too many gimmick matches and the majority of the storylines suck. The silver lining, if you want to see it, is that in the mind of Vince Russo the word "sucks" means "success".

Voodoo Kin Mafia Vs. Christy Hemme’s Mystery Team

Casey: I thought they'd wait until they had access to the Bashams but that's not it. I think the former Heart Throbs could be this team and if it is them then the VKM is walking out with a victory.
Winners: The Voodoo Kin Mafia

Art: Whoever Christy Hemme brings in, VKM's kicking their asses followed by Kip James farting in Christy's face afterward.
Winners: Voodoo Kin Mafia

Euan: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Winners: Christy Hemme's mystery team

Scott: Winners: VKM

Wade: This is a Wrestlecrap worthy storyline. I have found this pathetic from segment one and there has been no saving grace whatsoever. I haven't heard who the mystery team is but I'm sure they'll go over just so Vince can torture us some more.
Winners: Hemme's team

Marcus: Winners: VKM (if anyone really cares, are we sure this isn't going to be on the preshow?)

You can only win with the Crossface Chickenwing: Austin Starr Vs. Senshi

Casey: You know, I'm glad that they added this match and made it a stipulation match at that. I mean this show is really lacking for gimmicks and stipulations. Anyway, Senshi won't be winning by kicking Starr in the head but he will be winning.
Winner: Senshi

Art: Senshi jobbing to Austin Starr?? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!~!!~~! Well, ANYTHING is possible but I believe Senshi will end up twisting Starr's arm off and proceed to beat him over the head several times with it.
Winner: Senshi

Euan: Winner: Senshi by kicking Starr in the head then applying Chickenwing

Scott: Winner: Austin Starr

Wade: Senshi has gone from being an awesome X-Division Champion to a pathetic comedy angle with Austin Starr. This has become even more complicated with Bob Backlund doing his crazy backstage and ringside stunts. He will make his pescence felt tonight.
Winner: Senshi by kicking Starr in the face (you can sue but you won't get much, lol)

Marcus: Winner: Senshi

Double Bullrope Match: Petey Williams and Gail Kim Vs. Jackie Moore and James Storm

Casey: Oh good, this match is happening again. Well my undeniable love for Gail Kim not withstanding, I'm not falling for this again. Storm and Moore will win and Chris Harris will attack them after the match or Harris will cost them the bout. I'm guessing the former.
Winners: Jackie Moore and James Storm

Art: Jackie and Storm will beat the shit out of those two.
Winners: James Storm and Jackie Moore

Euan: Kinky~! How long before the double pole match? Mmmmmmmmmmmm...that's enough of thinking like Vince Russo.
Winners: Jackie Moore and James Storm

Scott: Winners: James Storm and Jackie Moore

Wade: I still don't get why Petey Williams is involved. Vince must get Petey and Chris Harris mixed up a lot and nobody has told him yet because it's too funny. Hopefully Harris makes an appearence before the match is over so this thing makes sense.
Winners: Kim&Williams

Marcus: Winners: Jackie and James- Rematch them in a cage.

TNA X-division title match (2/3 falls) Jerry Lynn Vs. Chris Sabin

Casey: Originally, I had no idea this was 2 out of 3 falls. I could watch these men wrestle forever and I think that maybe I have been. Anyway, this is the time to have Lynn overcome the youngster in a match that favors the youngster and win the X-division title. It is just like the Randy Couture story without all of the attention, fame, and money earned.
Winner: Jerry Lynn

Art: Since I've done this preview the match suddenly became a 2-out-of-3 falls match which is not a bad thing as these two can go and will put on one of the best matches of the night that only the X-Division can offer. I'm still going with Lynn getting the title, Sabin's been busting his balls for some time
now and Lynn's all fired up ready to show Sabin why he's the better of the two.
Winner: Jerry Lynn

Euan: This could be the sleeper match of the evening. Due to my TNA boycott during the Russo Regime i have not watched Impact but i know for a fact that these two could put on one hell of a match if given time. But since this is TNA, the match will go 5 minutes and there will be 6 million run ins.
Winner - Jerry Lynn

Scott: Winner: Jerry Lynn

Wade: This storyline actually makes sense in a way. You have the classic "Old School vs. New school" angle with 2 very good wrestlers. I would like to see Lynn with the title again but I doubt that'll happen.
Winner: Chris Sabin

Marcus: Winner: Jerry Lynn

TNA Tag Team Championship: (Ghetto Brawl) Team 3D Vs. The Latin American Xchange

Casey: Ironically, the build for Team 3D is when will they capture the NWA tag team titles? They'd better hurry before TNA loses the rights to those belts. I originally thought LAX would win this match and lose the belts in the cage at Lockdown but now I've got a feeling that 3D is going to win. Of course, I thought they'd win last month and that didn't go so well for me.
Winners: Team 3D

Art: I'm picking 3D to win the tag titles as LAX has prevailed in most of their matches against 3D... yeah goofy logic right there.
Winners: Team 3d

Euan: Yawn! Is it so hard to book a different tag team title match not containing the same two teams each month...oh yeah, it's TN FUCKING A!
Winners: LAX

Scott: Winners: LAX

Wade: Team 3D is finally getting another title shot. I don't envy either team here since the NWA Tag Team titles will have to be given back. I'm sure the numbers will be too much for Team 3D again.
Winners: LAX

Marcus: Winners: LAX

Last Rights Match: Sting Vs. Abyss

Casey: Sting always wins these matches with Abyss. Sting says that this will cause Abyss to see the light or turn face for those of you not hip to the new lingo. It has to end this way.
Winner: Sting

Art: Sting's been the asshole in this eternal fued, I’m going with Abyss getting revenge for Stinger being a douche and raising Steve Borden up towards the heavens.
Winner: Abyss

Euan: This match will only end when someone is risen to the heavens. Only Vince Russo could book such a ridiculous match as this. Of course, it could have been a lot worse...it could have involved lubing up a pole. I don't know how that would've worked but it's TNA, they would've found a way.
Winner: Sting

Scott: Winner: Abyss

Wade: Worst gimmick ever. I like Sting, but he has been given some weird, wild stuff with Abyss. They could've done so much better, but as long as Russo is around that word has lost meaning.
Winner: Sting

Marcus: Winner: Abyss I hope.

Elevation X: AJ Styles Vs. Rhino

Casey: I don't get it. Why have a match that you know won't be good? Why handicap one of your best fliers in a match like this? I fear for the lives of both men but more for the man who is going to lose. I hope AJ Styles is ok. I am picking Rhino not just because the bump is made for AJ but because AJ has out smarted him at every turn, but I don’t think this will be pretty.
Winner: Rhino

Art: AJ takes the plunge off the X-scaffold and hopefully doesn't die, I'm picking Rhino to win this one.
Winner: Rhino

Euan: AJ Styles is a dead man...that is all.
Winner: Rhino

Scott: Winner: AJ Styles

Wade: This will probably earn the "Holy Crap!" spot of the night since I'm sure somebody is going to take a sick bump. There is no title or anything important on the line, just pride and Rhino actually being able to get a decent win over Styles.
Winner: Rhino

Marcus: Winner: Rhino although it wouldn't surprise me to see AJ win just because nobody would expect Rhino to take that fall.

Scott Steiner Vs. Kurt Angle

Casey: While I don't think this match will be that bad and while I don't really think a job to Steiner is the worst thing you could see, I don't think it is the right move.
Winner: Kurt Angle

Art: The Battle of the Suplexes~! If Kurt doesn't win this one it further displays TNA's stupidity... and this continues some type of fued.
Winner: Kurt Angle

Euan: BATTLE OF A 1000 SUPLEXES~! Finally the king of the suplex will be decided but i wonder if the Iron Sheik will do a run in and hit both men with his clubs then suplex them, put them in a double camel clutch, break their backs and then fuck their ass...no.
Winner: Kurt Angle

Scott: Winner: Kurt Angle

Wade: The battle of the steroid freaks! This won't be as awesome as the Battle of the Billionaires but what is? There's going to be a lot of suplexes and I too hope Iron Sheik does a run in. It can't be worse than Big Fat Oily Guy, can it?
Winner: Kurt Angle

Marcus: Winner: Scott Steiner. He just came in and needs a push (no matter how much we hate it) and again they'll rematch them in a cage.

TNA Heavyweight Championship: Christian Cage Vs. Samoa Joe

Casey: Samoa Joe is getting the title sooner or later. The only question is does he get it sooner, or later? If I'm a betting man, I bet he gets it sooner. If you are a betting man, you should bet the opposite of me if you want to win.
Winner: Samoa Joe

Art: I don't think Joe should get the title just yet but I have a feeling the patented TNA HotShottingЁ will be in effect thus Joe winning the NWA/TNA World title.
Winner: Samoa Joe

Euan: Joe forced to quit ROH = Title win.
Winner: Samoa Joe

Scott: Winner: Samoa Joe

Wade: The time has come for Samoa Joe to become TNA World Champion!
Winner: Samoa Joe

Marcus: Winner- Christian Cage- There's more money to be made in a rematch and I doubt they'll throw Joe in a cage for his first title defense should he win.

Wade will have Live Coverage of this show at around 7:30 PM ET, so check back then.
