*Impact opened with NWA champion Christian Cage in the ring doing a promo saying that he was proud to be the NWA champion, naming names like Dory and Terry Funk. They announced Cage will be defending the belt against Monty Brown at the Destination X PPV.
*Backstage, Jeremy Borash interviewed Scott D'Amore, Jeff Jarrett, Gail Kim, and Eric Young. Jarrett said that he was screwed by everyone on Sunday, including Earl Hebner.

Jarrett said that they have the videotape that Alex Shelley filmed about Jackie Gayda and would have a viewing party later.

Noooooo, Christian and Monty the heat killing machine?
No. Shit no. They do the 8 man tag thats been brewing, although the participants are weird.
And is Mike Modest that blonde guy that debuted late in WCW's final breaths?
Ultimate X is a good thing, but I'm tired of the same challengers to Joe's title. How many chances do these chumps get. Oh, and Alex Shelley involved in an angle about anything = awesome.
Mad Dog - February 15, 2006 06:54 AM (GMT)
Yeah, he was also in the Beyond the Mat documentary.
Scrooge McSuck - February 15, 2006 09:53 AM (GMT)
I honest to God was going to start a topic talking about where Joe goes next with the X Title since he already beat Daniels and Styles decisively several times each.
I guess I got my answer. Wrestle them again, except in a goofy gimmick match that's incredibly lame.
Real F'n Show - February 15, 2006 01:34 PM (GMT)
I was hoping for a Low Ki debut, but oh well. Modest and Morgan are a good addition to the tag division...

It may just be JJ dropping the belt, but both of these shows look very good to me. I like the idea of a Christian Monty feud. It will be nice to see what either guy can build without having to deal with JJ. Looks like Killings may be starting another push which is way overdue. Ultimate X is the perfect way to get the title off Joe without killing his heat, plus it should be a fyun match.
And Modest is slick bald now. I like him and Morgan as a tag team, so cool to see them in TNA.

Well, I actually do like the fact that they are doing Monty/Xian..........last time it was a good match and I'd like to see what they do in the main event.
I actually called the Ultimate X during the last PPV between Joe/AJ/Daniels. I'm not really gonna go all apeshit about it, but I could see Joe losing the title in that match considering he doesn't need to be pinned to do it. But I guess that depends on how much of a hurry they are in to move Joe up the card.
I like the 8 man idea for the PPV too. Especially because it's really hard to fuck up an 8 man and all of the guys in it are definately capable of making it really good.
Looks like either Jay Lethal is in for a push or TNA management is looking down on Roderick for sticking to his guns during last weekends ROH show before Against All Odds.
SamoaRowe - February 15, 2006 06:29 PM (GMT)
I agree that Joe has a really good chance of dropping the X title at Destination X. It would make sense and it would allow him to keep calling himself "undefeated" on the technicality that no one pinned him. That, and it would free him up to pursue something else, say, the NWA Championship?
But like DK said, it depends on how anxious they are to push him higher.
For now, I would like to see Christian have a strong title run, at least 4-5 months.
Mad Dog - February 15, 2006 07:56 PM (GMT)
I don't think Strong's getting punished to be honest. Even before this he was the weak link in the Generation Next chain.
SamoaRowe - February 15, 2006 08:03 PM (GMT)
I don't like Roderick Strong being jobbed out the way he is. Especially when the more recently signed Jay Lethal is getting pushed ahead of him (though I am happy to see a Lethal push, so I guess I shouldn't be complaining).
Gotta love that Shannon Moore went from beating AJ Styles in a street fight to being yanked out of any angle all together.

*Backstage, Jackie Gayda was changing.
And that is why I love spoilers.
Scrooge McSuck - February 15, 2006 10:27 PM (GMT)
Joe isn't losing the title at Destination X... why? Because they have a 3-Way Cage Scheduled the next month at Lockdown. Are they going to have Joe on the losing end of 2 PPV Gimmick Matches? I think not.
jamiegeist - February 15, 2006 11:09 PM (GMT)
This isn't really a new thing for a way to keep Joe's streak intact. I mean, he lost in the Unbreakable 3 way the first time with Styles and Daniels. I just think they're trying (rightfully so) to get all the mileage they can out of these three before going a different route. I'll never complain about consistent good matches, which they can do. And I'm actually kind of excited to see Joe in the Ultimate X, but only if they make the fuckin thing work this time.
And Roderick Strong is to me, average in the ring (when compared to the likes of his company: Aries, Shelley, Lethal, Styles, Daniels, etc.) and very very poor out of the ring. Twice I've seen him in a promo where he isn't even really saying anything, and he is mouthing every line that everyone else is saying. I mean...thats just shitty. So the guy has a way to go to me.
And Lethal has looked awesome, so I like it.
I think they have to be careful with Joe. They want to save his run to the title until they are a bit more bigtime I think, so they can finally sell it to really put them over the top. But if they wait too long, fans will tire of the waiting game, and might bail out.
