TNA Destination X HOLT Report: In-person PPV event notes from the Norfolk Scope
Mar 9, 2008 - 11:30:37 PM |
|
PWTorch.com reader Jon Tessler of Virgnia Beach, Va. sent the following notes from attending TNA Destination X in person tonight in Norfolk, Va...
-I attended the PPV at the Scope in Norfolk, Va. and it has to rank as possibly the worst wrestling event I have ever attended.
-There were major sections of the Scope that had no people in them. I have been to other wrestling events and never have I seen so many empty seats.
-The entire undercard was a long boring series of spots that took to long to finish. The best undercard match was the woman's title match, and that isn't saying much.
-The main event was the only match that was "passable." The booking committee should be ashamed of themselves for putting this together.
-At least I can be glad my ticket was less than what I would have paid had I ordered it on cable.

| Torch Feedback |
| TNA Impact Reax #1: "TNA continues to shoot itself in the foot with the overemphasis on gimmick matches thus burning out the novelty." |
| WWE Raw Reax #5: "C.M. Punk is not being booked effectively. No World Champion should have to wrestle during the first hour." |
| WWE ECW Reax #1: "Philadelphia, I know ECW probably has disappointed you a lot this past year, but please give them a chance." |

| Ask the Editor |

| ASK THE EDITOR: Have the Michaels-Batista promos crossed a line with use of insider terms, references to "jobs"? |
| ASK THE EDITOR: Why do wrestlers in WWE refer to wrestling as "the business" and not "the sport"? |
