TNA was well known for its innovation of the X Division, taking influence from WCW's cruiserweights and Japan's junior heavyweight divison. However it did not have weight limits allowing for the likes of Sonny Siaki and Samoa Joe to fight for the title.
In recent years the division seems to have lost its original push that gave birth to amazing concepts and matches, with the like's of Amazin Red, a former 3 time X Division champ and considered one of the greatest high flyers in recent years, is rarely seen and is relegated to being squashed on Impact! by Brother Ray. That but now we are being, forced to sit as many of the original X Division leave TNA and taking away the home grown factor it had with talents such as Petey Williams and Christopher Daniels having been released only to be released by (in my opinion) less talented high flyers such as Jeff Hardy and Rob Van Dam, considered by many spot monkeys. And then theres Robbie E who's gimmick, i feel, is an insult to Jay Lethal, Bam Bam Bigelow and anyone else from Jersey. And Im English! i don't need to care! and it strengthens the fact of his style of wrestling is boring (and is mainly 15 miniutes of a guy fist pumping) takes away from the excitement of someone like Jay Lethal and proves thatguys like Red are gonna end up like WWe cruisers unless theyre in teams like Young Bucks or MCMG.
i would like comments on your opinions, like how it can be saved or who your fave cruisers,luchas, x stars or junior heavyweights are and who you want to see in the x division(including indy guys)
