TNA DESTINATION X 2001





This is my first blog reviewing a wrestling event, This is also the first TNA PPV that I've been looking forward to in a long time, I'm a big fan of the X-Division, and with some familiar faces returning along with the six-sided ring. Lets see if this lives up to the hype!

Kazarian Vs Samoa Joe

I've always liked Franky's work, But Joe, I respect, but am not 100% sold on. that being said, these guys tear it up! Hard and fast from the opening bell, Lots of Strong style, chops and hard slams, mixed with high flying springboards... (as expected in most matches tonight.), High risk and submissions.
Great match, however the ending was weak.

Douglas Williams Vs Mark Haskins

This is the first time I've seen Haskins wrestle, I'm not hugely into UK wrestling. Williams on the over hand, I've always thought was a bit boring. Match starts off with some good solid chain wrestling, lots of fake pins, was good, but didn't satisfy me.

Gerartion Me Vs Eric Young & Sharkboy

Generation Me are always entertaining,  but Young and Sharkboy didnt really seem to be on the same level entertainment wise, Nice quick tag match, Solid, but was not the best I'd seen from both teams.

Zema Ion promo
I like this kid. Good promo

Ultimate X match
Alex Shelley Vs Robbie E Vs Amazing Red Vs Shannon Moore

Spot fest! Mohawks! Exciting stuff! lots of "holy shit" moments! Awesome spots, Big fan of Shelley's work.  Loved it!

Low-Ki promo
Radio voice Ki, Typical strong promo.

Rod Van Dam Vs Jerry Lynn

This is the reason I'm watching this ppv, These guys put on a clinic every match! The crowd is completely split down the middle, rightfully so. Honestly two living legends, two of my favourite wrestlers.
 An incredible match, RVD's powerbomb bump onto the chair was awesome! *YOU STILL GOT IT!* This is why I watch wrestling! Surprised this wasn't the main.

Jack Evans promo
Jack isn't the greater talker, Quoting Enimem isn't creative!

Shame Austin didn't get mic time, He's the best talker in the match! (pretty obvious why tho)

Winner gets a contract match!
Austin Aries Vs Jack Evans Vs Zema Ion Vs Low-Ki
(Chrissy Hemme botches intros for the 3rd time)

This is another match I'm looking forward too. How do you follow Lynn Vs RVD...like this
*CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP EVERYBODY!*
Austin and Ki talking trash whilst executing submissions, was very original. All wrestlers put 100% in this match and it shows, some really amazxing stuff. Loved this match, I didn't care who won the contract cause they all deserve it! best match I've seen in ages! Congratulations to Austin Aries.
*SIGN THEM ALL*
Only bad thing about this match is Aries Trunks.


Abyss promo
Cliche, Why are you on this card???

Abyss Vs Brian Kendrick
X-Division Championship
(Toilet Break)

I love Kendrick's work, Shame he is booked with someone like Abyss, I find Abyss slow and boring, don't put him on a High Flyer PPV or give him a title. This was my least favourite match of the night, that's entirely on Abyss' work.
Bichoff coming out is just unessary, Run in was a waste of a match, just to include big guys that aint on the card. please, Give the young guys some time!
Cheap win for Brian, Ref counted from outside? At least the strap is off Abyss.

AJ Styles Vs Christopher Daniels

Here we go! The main, two guys who have been in TNA since the beginning, who have worked extremely hard for the business we all love, glad they get the main stage.
The crowd again was electric and split 50/50  *WRESTLING - YAY!, HUL:K HOGAN-BOO!*
Daniels still wrestles like he was 25, its a shame that he is getting past he's prime, but he can still keep up with AJ, and that's a feat in itself, Let alone pull off a 5 star match.



Overall this PPV was great, love watch High-Flying Cruserweights, Glad they got some tv time!
These kinda matches are why I skim through impact each week
Strong prediction, this will be TNA PPV of the year.

8.5/10

Transformers: Dark Of The Moon (2011) Review

 


Director: Michael Bay
Starring: Shia LeBeouf, Josh Duhamel, John Turturro, Frances McDormand, John Malkovich

SPOILERS!

Once again Michael Bay has raped my childhood.

Let me start by saying, I'm a big Transformers Generation 1 fan, but I'm not a fan of these movies, I didn't hype this one up in any way what so ever, only saw the first teaser trailer (Moon landing) months ago, Deliberately avoided all about this movie in hopes of going in there and being amazed...unfortunately...this wasn't the case.

When i heard bay openly admitting that the 2nd film was terrible and how this film will be much much better, I called him on it, Of course you are going to say that in order to get people to see it. Yes it is better then the 2nd film...but not without huge plot holes and a film that runs over an hour too long.

I realise in the third installment of a film that the story must evolve and character development must be the key to keep it interesting...but having humans destroy Decepticons while the Autobots hide all movie is ridiculous.
I don't care about Sam or his model girlfriend, or how Sam is jealous of her boss cause he's insecure and a loser.

When i think Transformers, I think Job interviews!

The moon landing was shot really well and looked promising...until we get a g-string shot of Carly's ass, then i knew exactly where this film was going as every male in the cinema whistled, Please, This insults me that a film maker would put stuff like that in his film, knowing that young males will pay there money cause of stupid stuff like that, Don't take advantage of your fans just to get more money out of them, Hey, here's an idea....focus of storyline  and hire some good actors, so maybe you won't have to rely on cheap moronic gimmicks to suck people into your film.
As well as the first two transformers you see in the film are Brains and Wheelie...Why are they talking like Beavis and Butthead???? Oh right same era as the original G1, that's genius!

Speaking of good actors, John Malkovich and Frances McDormand are great in there roles, but they can't save this film

Leonard Nimoy's voice acting in sensational! and the "heel turn" is done really well, didn't see that coming. Using a Star Trek line is silly. Why do you need to cater for the Star Trek fan boys? Yes, Nimoy was Spock, No need to hit us over the head with it.  Is Peter Cullen going to be in the new Star Trek film quoting "Autobots, Transform and roll out"? NO!

The fight scenes is what really drove me insane, First, Almost every fight is humans Vs Dececpticons while Autobots hide and show up right at the end of each fight....Where is our fearless leader Optmus Prime? Defending the earth and fighting the enemy? While a main villain such as Starscream is getting killed by a human????

Sentinel Prime almost kills Optimus in 2 seconds flat,
Megatron saves Optimus, Kills Sential with ease,
Opimus Kills Megatron straight away (with one arm)
Makes no sense! Weaker guy kills strongest! WHO BOOKS THIS SHIT?

4/10
AVOID!

Unless your a mindless 14 years old boy...in that case, enjoy!
