What is the X- Divison

[NightWatchman]

your argument is somewhat convincing.

[Greg_McNeish]

Yes. I think we'd only need a little more... persuading....

X-Division

The X-Division is about no weight limits for anyone that can go a fast paste limit.

The high-flying, high risk style of wrestling had become one of the features of World Championship Wrestling and Extreme Championship Wrestling in the late '90s. Rather than emphasizing the fact that most wrestlers who perform this style are under 220 lb (100 kg) by calling it a cruiserweight division, TNA decided to emphasize the high-risk nature of the stunt like moves that the wrestlers performed only in TNA where no restraints were placed on them. As such, according to Bob Ryder in The History of TNA: Year 1, they named the division after the X Games. Until 2011, there was no upper weight limit on the X Division or its title, though in practice, most of the wrestlers in this division were cruiserweights, with Sonny Siaki, Samoa Joe, Kurt Angle, and Abyss being notable exceptions. To further emphasize this point, the slogan "It's not about weight limits, it's about no limits" was used to describe the division. On the August 11, 2011, edition of Impact Wrestling, TNA authority figure Eric Bischoff announced that from that point onwards the X Division would have a weight limit of 225 lb (102 kg).[4] Although it was de-emphasized throughout 2007 and throughout 2009, the X Division is generally regarded as one of the key attractions of TNA.

A 2005 three-way match between Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe and A.J. Styles was given the rare rating of 5 stars by the Wrestling Observer.

Kurt Angle believes that the X Division has gone downhill since its peak around 2005. At that time, the division was based on Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe and A.J. Styles. He also said that he would like to join the X Division, to help it create its own stars, instead of relying on an ex-WWE Superstar.

One of the most intense feuds in the X Division was between A.J. Styles, Christopher Daniels, and Samoa Joe. The feud started when Joe won the 2005 Super X Cup, becoming one of the best wrestlers in the division. Both Daniels and Styles disliked Joe, despite having had a feud of their own.

Now with Eric Bishoff being with the company he just thinks it's another Cruiserweight division.

[Greg_McNeish]

Other than Samoa Joe being a fat-fuck moves machine, has the X-Division ever ACTUALLY been anything other than a cruiserweight division?

[NightWatchman]

Other than being held by Abyss, Angle and Samoa Joe. The title has pretty much always served as a cruiserweight title.

Kurt Angle just one it for a fact of just holding all the TNA gold at once.
He never accually defended the belt but lost it to Jay Lethal back at No Surrender 2007
and I believe he had 2 other matches that night and kept one gold which was the TNA World Belt.

To quote the great Fake Dixie Carter Twitter account, "the X-Division isn't about weight limits; it's about budget limits."

[GooberBM]

Didn't they just put a weight limit on the X-Division like 3 or 4 months ago?

This thread should be closed because it's old and everybody knows what the X-Division is now.
TNA Wrestleview Forum is a complete waste dump now.
