10 Best TNA PPV Main Events Ever
10 best PPV main events in TNA history
9. Bobby Roode vs. Austin Aries - Destination X 2012
Before one of them was glorious and the other was blacklisted by basically every major promotion on the planet, Bobby Roode and Austin Aries were two flag-bearers for TNA.
Aries had previously been the company’s X-Division Champion, but had used the dreaded Option C to bin that belt off and challenge for the world title instead.
His opponent was Bobby Roode, the longest-reigning TNA World Champion ever at the time. Aries had been built up very effectively as an underdog babyface challenger, so now all that was needed was a killer match. Luckily, that’s precisely what happened.
With a rabid crowd behind the challenger, the participants slowly built and built to a mighty crescendo, which featured all sorts of bells and whistles including a low blow and a ref bump spot.
Even these unwanted distractions couldn’t hurt what was a brilliantly worked match with a gripping story.
Furthermore, the fans got to go home happy after Aries hit the brainbuster on Roode to pin the champ and consign his record-setting reign to the history books.
