Production

Background

Destination X was announced in early 2005 to be taking place on March 13, with the location unknown but anticipated to be the TNA Impact! Zone in Orlando, Florida. [2] On January 24, 2005 a TNA press release confirmed that the event would be held in Orlando. [3] Sometime prior to the event, TNA released a promotional poster for the event featuring Diamond Dallas Page. An idea considered during the planning stages of the PPV, was to host a one-night X Division tournament similar to the Super J-Cup held by New Japan Pro-Wrestling. [4] Holding an Ultimate X match was also planned. [5] After TNA's previous PPV event, Against All Odds, TNA created a section about Destination X on their official website. [6] In early-March 2005 TNA announced they would be holding a 30-minute pre-show prior to the event featuring two matches: Chris Candido and Andy Douglas versus Lex Lovett and Buck Quartermain; Kid Kash and Lance Hoyt versus Cassidy Riley and Jerrelle Clark. [7]

Storylines

Destination X featured nine professional wrestling matches and two pre-show matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches

The main event was a Ringside Revenge match for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship between the champion, Jeff Jarrett, and the challenger, Diamond Dallas Page (DDP). On February 4, Fox Sports Net's The Best Damn Sports Show Period held a special episode named "The Best Darn Super Bowl Road Show Period". During the broadcast, TNA wrestlers DDP, Kevin Nash, Monty Brown, and Jarrett were involved in a segment where they debated over who would win at Super Bowl XXXIX between the New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles. The segment concluded with Jarrett attempting to bash an acoustic guitar over Nash's head, due to the two being involved in a match at the Against All Odds PPV event on February 13. DDP, however, thrust Nash out of the way and was struck by the guitar instead. [8] On the February 18 episode of TNA's television program TNA Impact! , Director of Authority Dusty Rhodes announced that Jarrett's next title defense would be against DDP at Destination X. [9] On the March 4 episode of Impact!, Rhodes announced the match would be held under a stipulation—the ringside would be occupied by wrestlers who had previously been attacked by Jarrett. [10]

TNA play-by-play commentator Mike Tenay announced on the February 11 episode of Impact! that TNA were planning to host an Ultimate X match at their March PPV event. [11] On the February 18 episode of Impact!, Tenay announced that the Ultimate X match at Destination X would be contested for the TNA X Division Championship, TNA would be hosting qualifying matches to fill the remaining spots leading up to the event, and that the match would be contested under special rules: The match would follow a series of stages; stage one being a tag team match until a pinfall or submission eliminates a competitor; stage two being a Three Way match until another pinfall or submission eliminates a competitor; and in stage three the match would fall to standard Ultimate X match rules, with the two remaining wrestlers having to climb the structure to retrieve the championship belt which hung above the ring. [9] On the March 4 episode of Impact!, Styles defeated Kid Kash to retain the X Division Championship and earn his spot in the Ultimate X match. [12] On the March 11 episode of Impact!, it was announced that Ron Killings and Elix Skipper were slated to participate. Christopher Daniels earned the final spot by defeating Chris Sabin later in the same episode. [13]

Several matches on the undercard were promoted for the event. Build to Jeff Hardy versus Abyss in a Falls Count Anywhere match began at TNA's Final Resolution PPV event on January 16, where Abyss attacked Hardy after his match with Scott Hall. [14] This led to a match at Against All Odds, in which Abyss defeated Hardy in a Full Metal Mayhem match. [15] On the February 18 episode of Impact!, Rhodes announced their match at Destination X. [16] Set-up for the bout between Nash and The New Age Outlaw (NAO) started at Against All Odds, where Nash faced Jarrett for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. During the contest the debuting NAO interfered aiding Jarrett. [15] On the February 18 episode of Impact!, Nash and NAO was involved in a small brawl. Later in the episode, Tenay announced that Nash and NAO would face in a No Disqualification match at Destination X. [16] Another encounter promoted prior to the event was the Bullrope match between Raven and Dustin Rhodes. The pair previously met in a match at Against All Odds, which Raven won. [15] On the February 18 episode of Impact!, Dustin announced a rematch for Destination X in a Bullrope match. [9]
