Mecha Mummy 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2003 Wow. I'm the only person who really liked the show for the most part? The only problem with Ultimate X was the damn belt falling TWICE, the tag match was solid as was the New Church/Gathering tag match. The Jarrett/Watts vs. Daniels/Legend match was weak, but what're ya gonna do? And while in-ring wise the gauntlet sucked, the booking was right-on. What, exactly, was so bad about it?

Mecha Mummy 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2003 Swerve, Russo and AJ dressed like Freddy and Jason join the beatdown. That SO better make the WrestleCrap definition this week (Look at what's currently up there) No way. It's not going to beat out the Bisch/Linda Soap Opera angle, though I'm damn certain that it will make the mailbag. Oh, and the belt falling off once is uderstandable. The second time it was lame, but at least the first time the three were able to cover it up by brawling while it was being set up again. It was a fun match despite the lameness of the belt falling, in my opinion. And since I only paid $5 this week, it was worth every buck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Astro101 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2003 I enjoyed tonights show. I thought Freddy and Jason were pretty funny. The X belt falling sucked major ass, but at least the first time, they kept brawling and the second they had just hit big moves so they were kinda out. Sure, they were building up Frankie's win, but I don't mind it since it was a surprise that Michaels won. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gert T 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2003 Did anybody notice the sweet car sun deflector Russo was using on him & AJ's "vacation"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HandofFate 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2003 Yeah, I noticed the sun deflector for a car's dashboard being used as that tan thing for Russo. I noticed it because when Russo turned to talk to AJ, it showed the cut out for the rear view mirror. Is any one else not really that surprised in that Russo was tanning outside....AT NIGHT??? My friend pointed out the crickets chirping in the back ground then when they moved the camera angle to see AJ do his old finishing move into the water, you could see that the sky was black. My friend pointed out that when AJ jumped into the water that a couple of people off camera were making some noise about AJ jumpin into the pool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Boomer Sprinklespax Report post Posted August 21, 2003 I thought the show was pretty good overall, but nothing great. While it did look like a lot of guys mailed in their performances this week, I enjoyed the booking for the most part, which saved the show altogether. ~As someone else already said, GREAT way to open the show with the Gathering/New Church brawl. Got the fans into it from the beginning, and connected the beginning to the end with Raven being dismantled and hung. ~The Ultimate X match was a disappointment, but it wasn't entirely the participants fault as we all saw. I hope they don't scrap this match based on its debut, as I still think it has a lot of potential - they just need to suspend the belt a bit more securely. ~NWA-TNA must get rid of that ugly, non-Lollipop dancer and bring back the dancer from last week. That chick is soooooo much better looking than the other. ~I think having Michael Shane go over in the way he did was a very good booking decision. He got pulverized the entire match, and still had enough to pull out the win in the end due to Sabin and Kazarian concentrating more on each other than actually winning. It was a good way for NWA-TNA to try and make a new star, and it could lead to some interesting character developments for all involved (Sabin face turn, Kazarian heel turn, Shane could do anything at this point). Besides, I don't think many people really wanted to see Kazarian go over, so I don't mind that his title chase has (thus far) meant nothing. ~Maybe I'm the only one, but I'm getting sick of AMW/Simon & Swinger. They seem to have the exact same match every week. Still, this one seemed a tad more energetic, and it was nice to see the heels go over in cheating fashion. Luckily for us, we get a break from this match next week. Unluckily for us, the break will result in Gilberti/Dusty. A frightening prospect, that. ~Trinity looked HOT...from the neck down. She really needs a nose job badly. ~The Gathering/Disciples tag match was alright, but nothing too special or too bad. I'd really like to see CM fight someone with a bit more talent, I must say. ~Daniels or Legend should have gone over in the Daniels & Legend/Watts & Jarrett tag match, but at least the heels got their heat back. ~Is it just me, or does Erik Watts seem to be getting better in the ring? He was very agile tonight, at least. ~The Freddy and Jason masks, while stupid, were somewhat redeemed when I saw Jason pull the mask off to reveal a cocky smirk on AJ's face, which got a chuckle from me. It was enjoyable crap rather than the total crap of, say, a 3LK vignette. ~The gauntlet sucked, but it was smart to end it with Raven/Douglas. And hell, Raven winning? There's no way I can complain about that. Please please PLEASE put the strap on him. ~I have a sick feeling that the mystery man is Sting. I really hope this isn't true, but the feeling still bothers me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest TDinDC1112 Report post Posted August 21, 2003 1. The show was very good. 2. The belt fell off because: They strapped it around both bars. Think about it. When 2 people were hanging from the same bar, that was enough weight/force to pull the bar down enough where it would push down on the part of the belt that was hanging (closest point to the mat). So, one bar had one part of the belt, and the other bar was pulling down it, and it came off (like 2 people pulling on opposite sides of a rubber band and it broke). It took them 3 tries to finally figure out that they should just strap it around ONE bar, so no matter what people were doing to the other bar, the belt would stay up.

The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2003 Shit happens. It would have been a ton worse had they not planned in advance for the seemingly inevitible disaster. Had they just stood there not knowing how to proceed they'd have been screwed hard...but thankfully they pulled a referees decision out. Now...that will excuse the first time...but the second time it should never have happened. It took them 2 tries to figure out that it wasn't going to work unless they hung it on one wire. That being said...Tenay dropped the ball on the second one by not pulling the "They've been through hell and it's going to continue" line Or even better...use that as the reason Shane was able to rest up and make his dash for the gold. Either way...Seen One Ultimate X...don't need to see another. I did like it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
