TNA Destination X 2014 Results

This year’s Destination X opens up with Austin Aries standing in the ring earlier today talking about his big match tonight. He said tonight he once again regains his World Title.

A special Destination X opening video plays and we cut to the slam packed Manhattan Center where Dixie Carter’s music interrupts the cheering fans.

Dixie walks out alongside Rockstar Spud, EC3, Rhino, Big Zek, and Snitsky. Zeke and Snitsky are wearing “Dixieland” shirts. Dixie messes with the crowd as they boo the hell out of her. She taunts them by asking what happened to their “hometown boys” last week. She calls the fans pathetic and that they are living in the past. Rhino takes the microphone and screams at the fans to show Dixie some respect and they should respect the Carter’s. Dixie says because she loves the people if they want to chant “ECW” then she give them “ECW,” but she isn’t going to give them the broken down old has-beens like Dreamer and 3D. She further taunts the crowd by reminding them that 3D “bailed” on ECW and then ECW died. She says that she has given the fans the “true ECW” with Big Zeke and Snitsky obviously referring to them working for the WWE’s version of ECW. She says that she has also given them a true star in EC3.

EC3 says that she is the president and he is the general and then introduces us to his “Army of Extreme” and he calls Big Zeke “the one true champion of that former company.” He says that he will no longer be known by the name that was given to him by some “random name generator” and instead he will be known Rycklon (his real name). He says that everytime the fans chant “ECW” they are chanting for Gene Snitsky and then he calls Rhino his “mercenary.” The fans chant “you sold out” at Rhino and he nods smiling at the chant. EC3 says that this is war and he proposes one final battle for Dreamer and 3D. The fans chant “we want tables” and EC3 says that Dixie will never go through a table. EC3 challenges Dreamer and 3D to one last match and he says they will tear the house down and then build it back up brick by brick as the “House that Carter built.” EC3 says he is going to put Dreamer down for good.

Backstage former X-Division Champion Homicide, indy star Brian Cage, and former X-Division Champion Low-Ki are shown warming up as they will take part in the X-Division Title Tournament.

----COMMERCIAL BREAK----

In the back Bobby Roode approaches Austin Aries and says it feels like Déjà vu all over again with Aries cashing in at DX. Roode reminds him that it was he and Aries two years ago doing this and he says at that point he was over confident and cocky which was his mistake. Aries says Roode has said over and over that it was a fluke but Roode finally admits that it wasn’t a fluke which makes Aries a very happy man. Roode says that Aries has proven he is one of the best in the world and tonight is his chance for retribution for everything MVP has done. Aries says he will do that and he wants nothing more than to give Roode the first title shot.

Team 3D and Tommy Dreamer come out to the ring as a huge “ECW” chant breaks out. Devon says that he may have been gone from TNA for awhile but EC3 must be stuck on stupid because he just challenged 3D & Dreamer to a war which is the thing they know how to finish the best.

Dreamer says he needs to make something very short and sweet. He says that this isn’t about EC3, it is about something bigger. He says that he has been in wars with 3D and against them and others that would die in the ring for the fans. He says that being hardcore isn’t about tables or ladders but it is about the work ethic. He says that the guys in the back in TNA have the same work ethic as they did back in ECW. Dreamer says that he would go to war with Bobby Roode, Eric Young, Samoa Joe, Austin Aries, The Wolves any day because they are what the business is all about. Dreamer says everyone knows how much he loves this business and he doesn’t know how many wars he has left in his body but he will go to war with 3D! He says that the y don’t want to wait either!

EC3 and his boys walk out to the ramp calling Dreamer “Thomas Dreamboat.” He says it is war but this war will take place on “Carter time” which is next week. Bully says that no one wants to go to war next week and then he asks EC3 if he knows where he is. Bully says they are in NYC and they are going to die! Bully says that if he wanted to he could start a riot right now and that is an understatement. Bully says if there is one thing he knows how to do it is how to start a riot! A big “start a riot” chant begins much to Bully’s delight. Bully says that if EC3 is going to name the time for this war then they get to name the terms, an 8-Man Weapons Extreme Hardcore War! Bully swears to God that by this time next week Dixie Carter is going through a table!

Backstage the Beautiful People say that they broke up the match last week because everyone puts Gail and Terrell on a pedestal when they SHOULD be putting them on that pedestal. Angelina says that Angle is blocking her from getting her rematch with Gail so next week she is going to make an announcement.

A video plays with some creepy looking guy, that you can’t really she the face of, being shown following by letters scrolling. The only letter that stops is the first one which is “H” while the rest continue to scroll and then it says “is coming.”

Samoa Joe comes out to the ring and he says that he just had a discussion with Kurt Angle and Kurt told him that tonight is about reinvigorating the X-Division. Joe says that Angle has done a hell of a job bringing back some talent that real wrestling fans want to see but Angle couldn’t reinvigorate the X-Division without Joe!
