Ranking: Every Match From TNA One Night Only: X-Travaganza 4
Sign Jonathan Gresham now.
It may be tough to get too hyped for these monthly One Night Only PPVs considering that they only exist out of contractual courtesy to TNA's foreign markets, but at least the annual X-Travaganza show has a compelling hook.
That's right, it sees some of the world's most promising up-and-comers take on established TNA talent in the hope of getting a chance to compete for a shot at the TNA X-Division Title.
It's fair to say that little of actual consequence happened on X-Travaganza 4, as per usual with these shows, and the standard of wrestling was incredibly hit-and-miss, but we at least got two memorable, top-notch battles.
Still, with the $15 American audiences have to pay for these shows, perhaps TNA might want to rethink their pricing strategy (when a month of both the WWE Network and NJPW World cost far less) or make them feel at least a little more important.
Here is every match ranked from TNA's One Night Only: X-Travaganza 4...
9. Rockstar Spud Vs. Chuck Taylor
Result: Taylor rolls up Spud for the win (6:05).
Rating: Chuck Taylor worked a pretty goofy wrestling style throughout and Spud spent a good deal of the match taunting the crowd on the mic, but at least Taylor going over Spud was a pleasant surprise, even if that's all there was to take away from this match.
Basically, there was very little to see here and it didn't do a whole lot for either talent: the pacing felt pretty off throughout and it didn't help that the crowd was totally dead for it. It says a lot when the most entertaining part was Earl Hebner pushing Spud over post-match. A really limp, lazy opener. 4/10
