TNA Wrestling: Destination X 2007 [DVD]

First I want to say that this is one of those dvd's that make you just so pumped and I really feel like when we saw these matches they just made the show pefect1. Ultimate X LAX vs XXX I think that this is the best opener they could have picked but tna usually don't pick the best opener but this one is near pefect. The spots were great but the wrestling was cool also with hotstuff killing skipper and senshi most of the time and the cross body block from the top of the tower that held the X ropes was sick 9/10 (but still not as cool as the rana of the cage in 2005 but skipper really rules!!)2. Fight For the Right I didn't like the inside out battle royal because it was just sorta a sloppy mess. But when the 8 get in the ring the match picks up and the match got pretty good I thought it was nice to see the guys who were in the battle royal in it but I wish Storm wouldn't have gotten screwed but he beat the winner on impact ha ha 7.5/103. World Tag Team Title Team Pacman vs Tomko and Aj Styles It was great when pacman couldn't wrestle because Creed made his debut and did great aj and tomko do great during the match and Creed makes the best debut ever with maybe the best showing and Ron Killing didn't impress but he can't any more because he does the same moves in every match 8/104. X Division Title Jay Lethal vs Christopher Daniels This is one of the best matches of the night. These two really tried hard to put on the best match and came close to it if they had the same time as sting and angle I think they would have. Daniels hit the BME and the Angel's Wings. Lethal hits the elbow drop and the Lethal Combonation so who wins it? 10/105. Tables Match Steiners vs Team 3D This is better than there match at hard justice. (which I didn't hate that match) They start on the outside and then move to the ring and the spots start coming. It was easy to tell who would win but it was fun to watch the match anyway. I love all the table Spots in this one and Rick looks pretty good for being so old. 7.75/10 (and sting is even older than him)6. Knockouts Title Battle Royal All the girls get good spots in this one and it is a very good womens match better than wwe puts on all the time everyone looks good but not Christy Hemme I mean she looked good in her attire but then she was killed by Awesome Kong will Kong destroy them all? 8.25/107. Matt Morgan as enforcer Samoa Joe vs Christian Cage This is one of the best matches I have seen these matches just keep being awesome in there own ways that is why this is the second best ppv ever. (second only to that AAA ppv which was there only one but was just great) These to just put on one of the best 15 min Wrestling shows ever the moves flowed and were perfect. 10/108. Monsters Ball Black Reign vs Rhino vs Abyss vs Raven Let me start off by saying I hate Black Reign I wish Dustin Rhodes would retire he is just boring, I mean Shattered Dreams to Raven in Monsters Ball and to make it worse I heard this is the last Monsters Ball. The match was good I wish it was a Three way though and that Raven would win his first Monster's ball but no he is pinned again(every year) pretty good and better than the first but not like the second and third 8.25/109. World Heavyweight Title Sting vs Kurt Angle This match is just history the first time one on one and the title is on the line. The match is set up perfect it is like the main event of wrestlemania 24 perfect and slow then we get to the good spots and then a great finish. When the Stinger has the belt after the match I knew he wouldn't hold it long (two days) but I knew it might be his last time (don't think he will beat Joe) but it is probly just great history it makes this a must buy 10/10

(This review was edited in May 2015.)**THE STORY**From their modest beginnings in 2002 and right through 2007, TNA had always been a mixed bag. A company with awesome potential and too many bad ideas, it was rare that they were able to put all their ducks in a row and produce an outstanding show from beginning to end. But thanks to some good buildup from the previous month and everyone busting their butts in the ring, that's exactly what Bound For Glory was--and it was bookended by two more excellent events in No Surrender and Genesis.**THE SHOW**We kick things off with a stunning Ultimate X match as the Latin American Xchange takes on a reformed Triple X (Elix Skipper & Senshi) with crazy high-flying moves, including yet another classic stunt from Skipper and a dramatic ending. The winning team gets a future Tag Team Title shot and I think the right guys won. The rest of the show just builds up from there with the bizarre but solid 'Fight for the Right' battle royal featuring most of the other wrestlers in the company, a wild Tables Match between the Steiners and Team 3D (kudos to Scott Steiner for coming back from a legit trachea injury a few months earlier that almost killed him), and the traditional Monster's Ball hardcore match with Rhino, Black Reign, Raven, and Abyss that ends with a career-defining moment for the Monster.And those weren't even the best matches of the night. Christopher Daniels and Jay Lethal do the X-Division proud with a brilliant back-and-forth encounter for Lethal's X Championship where 'the Fallen Angel' always seems to be one step ahead, while Lethal fights back with heart and toughness. AJ Styles and Tomko, usually despised heels in Christian's Coaltion, are de facto faces in a spirited effort to dethrone Team Pacman and restore honor to the Tag Team Championship. (Pacman stays out of the ring this time, thank God, and has a substitute named Consequences Creed wrestle in his place.)The Knockouts battle royal is a vital moment in TNA history, and the true birth of a women's division that would go on to regularly outperform WWE's "Divas." Entrants included Awesome Kong (debuting), Christy Hemme, Roxxi Laveaux (Nikki Roxx), Jackie Moore, and of course Gail Kim--whose mission to elevate women's wrestling in this company is finally achieved. Christian Cage and Samoa Joe steal the show in a match so good it almost hurts; Joe is larger and has the upper hand for most of it, but Cage is still portrayed as a threat. Special enforcer Matt Morgan plays his part very well, giving Joe a prime opportunity to take his revenge.And if all that isn't sweet enough, the main event is a dream match: Sting taking on Kurt Angle for the TNA World Heavyweight Title. Despite an unnecessary storyline with "the slap (not) heard 'round the world," Kurt stalking Sting's son in California, and the usual distractions from Karen Angle and Kevin Nash, Kurt and Sting give us the great encounter we were hoping for. Sting looks like a god in this match. Nothing can keep him down, not even a 450 Splash from Angle or a baseball bat shot to the face that he fails to block (ouch!). A near-classic.**THE VERDICT**If you're a fan of TNA or wrestling in general, you have got to see this show. Everything came together in an amazing event with an atmosphere that truly felt like the Super Bowl of TNA. Every match had a reason to be on the card and the crowd was electric. In my opinion, this was TNA at its absolute best.

The best matches on the card were The Christian Cage-Samoa Joe match which was a pretty good,hard-hitting,solid bout and the TNA World title match between Sting & Kurt Angle which was not great but good and could have done better without Kevin Nash & the lame ending. The worst matches were The Fight for the Right Reverse Battle Royal which was nothing more then a mindless filler and the 10 women Gauntlet For The Gold to be the first TNA Knockouts champion which while not a bad match,I still think they could have done better. The Rest were ok. I give this event a 6 out of 10.

perfect in every way

TNA Bound For Glory 2007 was the best TNA PPV ever and my favourite show wrestling show I ever saw.The matches include-1.) LAX vs. XXX- This match was an ultimate x match and was a really good opener. I wouldn't say that it was the best ever ultimate x but it was pretty good and had some high spots. 8/102.) 15 Man Fight For The Right- In this match 16 men start out outside of the ring and the objective is to be one of the 8 men aloud in the ring by jumping in the ring. then it is over the top rope elimination until the last 2 men then you win by pinfall or submision- This match is an ok match with some good spots to watch for. 7/103.)A.J. Styles and Tomko (Christians Coilition) vs. Team Pacman- This match is for the TNA Tag Team Championship. they only thing is there is a man named rusheed lucious creed who substitutes for Pacman Jones, but Pacman is at ringside. This match is actually a good tag title bout and the ending is just absolutely hialrious. 7.5/104.) Black Machismo (Jay Lethal) vs. Christopher Daniels- This match is for the X Division Championship- this is a good X Division with a lot of near falls. 8/105.) The Steiner Brother vs. Team 3D- This is a 2/3 tables in which you have to put the opposing team through 2 tables to win the match- I really enjoyed this match with some good brawling through the crowd and a good ending. 9/106.) 10 Knockout Gauntlet- This match is for the first ever TNA Womens Championship- What happens is 2 Knockouts start in the ring then every minute another one comes out and the way to win is to show the opposing knockout over the top rope. Then when it gets down to 2 Knockouts then you ahve to win by pinfall or submission. This match was a lot better of a womens match than wwe could ever put on. This was a good match but seemed pretty quik. 7.5/107.) Samoa Joe vs. Christian Cage- This match had Matt Morgan as the special enforcer- Call me crazy but this match reminded me a lot about something that ring of honor (roh) would put on. This match was just great and had some really cool spots and this was a job well done by both of these men. 10/108.) Abyss vs. Black Reign vs. Raven vs. Rhyno- This match is a monsters ball match where anything is legal- I really liked this match because their were some many hardcore spots and high risk moves it was hard to take your eyes off of it. Although i expected more tables to be used but this match was still very good. 10/109.) Sting vs. Kurt Angle- This match is for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship- After many weeks of seeing kurt angle and sting just wanting to get at each other we finally see it and what a match it was. This match will definately go down in the record books as one of the best. This match also had a lot of twists and turns, such as you didnt know who was going to win, sometimes it seemed like Sting then Kurt Angle and back and forth. But over-all this match was good and had some interference. 11/10GET THIS AND YOU WONT REGRET IT!!

なんといってもメインの試合！この二人が試合をするなんて前までは全然想像できなかったが内容のある試合だった。お勧めの試合　　↓▽ TNA タッグ王座ナンバー１コンテンダーズ・タッグチーム・アルティメット X マッチXXX vs ラテン・アメリカン・エクスチェンジ　第一試合なのに完璧な試合。試合はハイスピードで止まることのない攻防。飽きることないです！▽ TNA タッグ王座戦チーム・パックマン vs AJ スタイルズ＆トムコ全然知らない人が混ざってます（笑）しかしAJの試合にはずれなし！▽ TNA 世界ヘビー級王座戦カート・アングル vs スティング二大カリスマの激突！　歴代Bound for Gloryで一番おもしろいメインです！

Bound for Glory is TNA's answer to Wrestlemania, and though it may lack the sheer spectacle of the WWE, it far outstrips it in terms of sheer wrestling quality. There's a handful of real classic matches here and for this price if you are a wrestling fan you'd be crazy to not get this.MATCHES:LAX vs XXX - Ultimate X match, winner gets a Tag Title Shot.Simply the match of the year. Your jaw will drop. I really don't understand why on the basis of this incredible match, that Elix and Senshi have become little more than jobbers on Impact lately. This match just has too many good spots to mention. Worth buying the DVD for this match alone. 5/5Battle to enter the Fight For the Right Tournament. I love this about TNA. They always come up with some big match featuring loads of people and a unique set-up. In this one, everyone has to battle outside the ring and the first 8 to get into the ring enter the tournament. Then it goes to an over-the-top battle royale and the final two have a one-fall match. The order of elimination determines the order of matches in the tournament. Great fun! 4/5Tag Title Match - Tomko and AJ Styles vs Team PacmanA new guy wrestles in the place of Pacman himself which means that The Truth actually doesn't have to do all the work for a change. He isn't bad either and goes by the name of Rasheed Lucius `Consequences' Creed, which is a bit ostentatious really. It's a good fast paced entertaining match overall. 4/5X-Division Title - Christopher Daniels vs Black MachismoThe Fallen Angel gets his title shot and it's a cracker!!! They fly back and forth with crazy X-division action and put on the singles match of the night. The only complaint is possibly that some of the moves they pull off are actually quite a bit better than the finisher that ends the match. Still minor complaint and another classic! 5/52 out of 3 Falls Table Match - Steiners vs Team 3DWell at least it's a gimmick match. Really the only reason I wasn't bothered with this one is that I don't like the Steiners. At all. The match is a crowd pleasing brawl and is entertaining enough. If it had been a normal match it would probably have been pretty boring. 3/5Monster's Ball - Abyss vs Rhino vs Raven vs Black ReignThe Monster's Ball is a hardcore `anything goes' match. And as hardcore matches go I have seen much better. This is probably due to Raven and Black Reign (evil Goldust) being a bit past it really. 3/5Battle Royale to determine the 1st TNA Women's Champ.Not usually a big fan of women's wrestling. But this is pretty decent and its good to see some recognition for the winner. 3/5Christian Cage vs Samoa Joe - Must be a winner.Great match. Cage's undefeated streak vs Joe's raw ability and intensity. Lots of great action from these two. Matt Morgan is special guest enforcer and I would like to see him wrestle again soon too. 4/5Sting vs Kurt Angle - World Title MatchI'm not a big Sting fan. He's undoubtedly a competant veteran but he's no Kurt Angle. That said this is a dramatic and exciting match and I enjoyed it. I just don't think its as amazing as other people did and the wrong man won. 4/5

カート・アングルの衝撃の移籍劇…。TNAはさらなる進化を遂げるための起爆剤としてカートを導入したはずだった…。しかし、かつてWWE時代にカートがベノワやエディと繰り広げた名勝負が再現されることはなかった…。かなりの期待をしていただけに、私個人の意見としては残念だったしTNAが本来の姿を見失う結果になってしまったと思う。カートは、自らが試合を輝かせるというよりは、相手が強敵であればあるほど相手に食い下がり、真価を発揮するタイプなんだと改めて思った。ジョーとの試合も何かが違っていたように思うし…。ジョーは実際偉大な男だけど、相性が悪かったと思う。　エレベーションXは、あまりにも高所で足場の悪い舞台のために試合になっていなかったと思う…。ハイリスク、ローリターンではないだろうか…。疑問としかいいようがない。　ジェリー・リン、スティングは実力以上のことをやってくれるから毎回満足させられる。TNAの真髄の体現者であるアビスとピーティー・ウィリアムズはやはり凄い。試合巧者でありながら過激さも凄い。TNAの魅力でもあるタッグはLAXの人気は衰え知らずだし、最高にクール。ただ、コナンの体調不良（重病）が心配……。恢復を祈っています。　クリスチャン・ケージは、激動の２００６年で自らの才能を爆発させてから２００７年。いよいよNWAのベルトも板についてきた感じです。この特番で最も面白かったのが、クリスチャンとジョーの試合。クリスチャンはWWEの水よりもTNAの水があっている感じです。審判のアンプリティアーがジョーに炸裂するのか？！ジョーとの激戦は必見です！是非とも購入をお薦めします！！
