Why? They tore the

ing house down. I think Joe vs. Christian should be in the 4.5 range, though. GREAT to see a TNA show beat WM23. If WM23 won, this lit would mean nothing to me, because that would just be wrong. Sarifice was a great event.

I assumed Meltzer was referring to their Impact match. Although I probably wouldn't have said anything had I known, I'd still place a a few matches above the Texas Death Match.

one thing i can say about TNA .. is it always looks like they put effort into making their ppv cards look good. unlike the wwe who picks and chooses.

TNA = better ppvs.

and lets not forget. . im not too crazy about wwe nor tna right now.

That kinda confuses me.

Because Slammiversary overall had a lot of 3*+ matches, while some of Destination X's matches didn't do so good.

Isn't that the shitty ppv that Vince McMahon won the ecw title?

It's certainly better than any PPV TNA has put out this year.
