Guest NazMistry Report post Posted August 9, 2002 Was the 3 Way X-Title Match between Styles, Low Ki and Lynn really as good as all the reviewers have said? I wish they showed TNA in Europe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted August 9, 2002 It was phenomenal. The ending cost it from being as close to perfect as I've seen. It was non stop and exciting for 16 minutes...and they did some innovative stuff with 3 man moves (Lo Ki going for a superplex on Styles while Lynn poewrbombs Ki off the ropes WHILE he superplexes AJ, Lo Ki locking in a dragon sleeper on Lynn in the ropes, while AJ came off the top to leg drop Ki) some very cool breakup pins into another pin and so on that was very exciting, and everyone kicking out of their own finisher being done to them was a perfect capper to a match that just kept building up excitement. My friend who doesn't watch or like wrestling for the most part came over after the show because he wanted to see the Truth guy I had written about, and I showed him that match. Even he was into it (he even made the comment that this was the kind of thing he could actually get into...while wowing to some of the things these guys did) and after it was over I asked him how long he thought that was. He said...something around 10 minutes. It was 17. I think that's the mark of a good match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted August 9, 2002 I read an offhand comment that TNA was prevented from releasing video tapes for a while due to the specifics of their ppv contracts. But it led me to beleive that they would be releasing tapes or dvds as soon as they were able too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Flyboy Report post Posted August 9, 2002 But it led me to beleive that they would be releasing tapes or dvds as soon as they were able too. Yes! That's great news! Whoo! Only.. how long before they'll be able to though? Anyone have a ball park estimate? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted August 9, 2002 No. It was just an offhand statement, probably to explain why there was no tapes coming out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted August 9, 2002 I have a new favorite match...**tears**... And score one for LowKi! The ending really wasn't as great as the rest of the match, but hey, it's soemthing that hasn't been done a whole lot, and let all men keep their credibility.

Guest TheDames7 Report post Posted August 10, 2002 Maybe I'm the only one who liked the finish, but I felt the ref bump and chairshot was unnecessary....but then again, thats just me. Dames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BionicRedneck Report post Posted August 10, 2002 OK, Again, i'll say i haven't seen any of TNA (Im from UK) but, from what i have read, this match sounds like a spotfest. It probably looks great against stuff the WWE puts on, but to rate it ***** suggests its one of the best matches ever. I find that hard to believe. Is 16 minutes of non-stop action gonna be a great WRESTLING match? a wrestling match needs some sort of build and pace, and from what I have seen of Low Ki, his matches rarely have this. again, I will have to see this match, and i'm sure its really entertaining, but i doubt a 5* wrestling match.

Guest NazMistry Report post Posted August 10, 2002 I should buy this Super-Satellite that my dad saw in Belgium, it recieves over 5000 channels from around the world, including all major PPV channels! Only problem is it would cost me as much as the house I live in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest kane3212321 Report post Posted August 10, 2002 Actually that 3 man move with the powerbomb and superplex at the same time is used by the best wrestlers in Australia, Jag and Havok and they've been using it for years as their finisher.

Guest BionicRedneck Report post Posted August 10, 2002 hehe , Yeah, i realise I might seem negative, but I haven't seen any of the X division. Everyone says how great Low Ki has been, so he must have improved quite a bit. I look forward to finally seeing this stuff though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sandman9000 Report post Posted August 10, 2002 That superplex/powerbomb spot is quite old. I've seen it dozens of times. It's probably just the first time it has ever been used over PPV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ShooterJay Report post Posted August 14, 2002 The match is great in the same vein as a TLC match. There may not be psychology or any storyline behind it, but the action is unreal. I enjoyed it immensely. The ending was fine, except Low-Ki was clearly off the pin after 2, and Armstrong counted 3 anyway. He should have done a new 3 count after the Spiral Tap. Slick Johnson, IMO should ref all X matches, Armstrong is terrible at them. his handling of the Low-Ki/Styles match week 5 really hurt the flow of the contest, in my eyes.

Guest J*ingus Report post Posted August 14, 2002 Ps. Jag was the first Aussy wrestler to get into the PWI Top 500. ? Surely Bill Dundee and the Sheepwhackers made it once or twice, or even Ashley Hudson and Jamie Dundee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cabbageboy Report post Posted August 14, 2002 That match was awesome. And yes there was a bit of psychology to it in that they all used each other's finishers but no one could win it that way. See, they hadn't actually mastered those moves like their own finish. I gave it ****3/4 with a -1/4 due to the slightly odd finish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
