Destination X and the Avengers Kissing Fest

[redfiona99]

There is manic flippy-flippyness. I cheer for all of them. But possibly more for Rubix and Lars Only.

But whoever wins they'll be up against my damned darlin' Kid Kash. Who I expect will be doing some serious heelish cheating.

Dear TNA, don't have matches starting during your ad-breaks.

Oh Kash's vengence is going to be unpleasant.

Samoa Joe's promo was good.

Sonjay Dutt is back. All is good with the world. He's up against Rashad Cameron who I've never seen before. This could be interesting.

And there's my other evil darlin', Zeema Ion. Yes, I know having multiple evil darlings is a sign of something but really, how can I not cheer for Zeema Ion?

Bobby Roode is an excellent heel. I want someone to stomp him. Soon.

Thank you JB, for pointing out the obvious, that no fan is ever going to believe any of Daniels's allegations about AJ, because AJ is AJ (and, well, Daniels is Daniels).

(Again I say this with love) Somebody thump Daniels. [Also, the man is brilliant at distracting us while AJ blades.]

Needless to say, they win the stupid bump of the night award, again. I know we haven't had Ultimate X or the World Title yet, but you know how it goes.

I think the thing I noticed the most is that, despite how often we have seen this match and variations on it, they still got the audience going, and the audience just went wild in hope for AJ.

I'd be cheering for Sonjay Dutt only, well, Zeema Ion.

I spoke too soon re: stupid bumps. Would you two get down from there in a non-violent manner?!

That was as non-violent as possible (no, seriously, well done whoever booked that ending, I accept it as a dodgy ending with purpose).

Well done Zeema Ion.

Do I want to watch the title fight? On the one hand, Austin Aries, Robert Roode and, you know, the possibility of one of the flippy-flippy midgets being world champion.

On the other hand - TNA title booking.

TNA have managed to actually get their cameras working properly again. That shot of Austin Aries as Bobby Roode is coming out.

Shoving the ref out of the way, it's such a cheap shot, Bobby. (No really, odes should be written to his malicious wonderfulness. By someone who is not me, as really, I just joined in the 'Bobby sucks' chants.)

Okay, scrap that, watching the title match was totally worth it.

Been a good day, between this and Tommy Voeckler.

After your post about Impact, I've been waiting for you to watch the PPV to see your reaction to the Roode vs. Aries match.

It seems that, for the moment at least, things TNA are doing right are finally outweighing the things they are doing wrong. That's quite amazing.

I was really expecting a cheat ending. And I could probably have lived with it if it were done well (Zeema Ion's glorious cheating springs to mind) but I was expecting something as sucky as the Lockdown ending.

So I was there and it was ~1 am in the morning, and I was quite tempted to just switch off. It was Roode's bit of business with the ref that made me stick with it, and I think I would have felt badly if I hadn't watched, even if Roode had won, because none of my complaints have ever been Roode's fault.

And then the ending happened and I cheered like crazy. So very happy.

I just hope they carry on this way.
