    Maybe cos I dipped in and out with regards TNA but I think I missed Doug's X division title time meanwhile I had a liking for Amazing Red who I always thought would be a (little bit) bigger name than he ended up being... Red gets my vote here


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,553 ✭✭✭Blue_Dabadee


    I am going for Doug Williams because his run was a lot more enjoyable.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,146 ✭✭✭Kankan14


    Doug for me. He had a couple of excellent triple threat matches with aj and jay lethal. Aj won them but all performed with real credit.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,166 ✭✭✭Stereomaniac


    Amazing Red.

    Doug I suppose. My main memory of Red was someone ranting about him on here (can't even remember who it was hated him, I just remember the term spot monkey being used). Doug was a generally solid wrestler, though he was unlucky to have been involved in the Fortune/Immortal thing.


  • Registered Users Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral


    Amazing Red.

    Just a reminder that in Round 2 you should give a reason for your choice. Just adds a little more to it. It can be why you liked one guy over another or why you hated the dude you're voting against. Cheers :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,852 ✭✭✭ShagNastii


    Both guys that burned up the indies and were somewhat darlings.

    I'll give it to Doug Williams due to greater credible. He is fairly underrated in the scheme of things.


  • Registered Users Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral


    The British Invader cements his place in the quarter finals. There's only one spot left up for grabs, who's gonna take it?

    A pair of guys I find pretty lame.

    Have to give it to Low-Ki though. He has had some amazing matches in the division during the TNA hay days.

    Yeah, Low-Ki for the same reasons. Some of these guys I haven't seen enough of to make a decision!


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,491 ✭✭✭thebostoncrab


    Low Ki easily. More a victim of his own self worth but anytime he was given the ball he truely did run with it...until he got bored

    Before we delve into our last 8, I was hoping we could get back to some discussion of the physical X division championship belt. We covered the original plain red X design at the end of Round 1, now we move on to this version:

    Ceinture_TNA_X-Division_2007.gif



    What are your thoughts on it? I personally liked this one most of all. In my opinion, it has enough of the lineage of the first title but is way more prestigious looking. It looks like a title worth fighting for. Do you think similar? Does it represent the X division enough in your opinion? All thoughts and discussion is welcome.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,491 ✭✭✭thebostoncrab


    By far the best design, it made it look important and worked in the giant X without it being tacky.

    I voted for Amazing Red because my car is red. :)

    We are down to the last 8 competitors in our quest to find the greatest ever X Division Champion in TNA history. All wrestlers need FOUR votes to to make it into the semi finals. Again, please provide a reason for your selection. All draws will be made using the patented Custom Random Number GeneratorTM

    Doug had a good run here, but I have to pick Sabin. I firmly believe Sabin is one of the best of the division, and he deserves to go further here.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,146 ✭✭✭Kankan14


    Sabin.

    Produced better matches more consistently than doug.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 51,460 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Yeah, Sabin for me too. Certainly one of the four most worthy of a semi final place minimally.


  • Registered Users Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral


    I'll vote for Chris Sabin too. Held the title a whopper 8 times and it always suited him.

    Sabin beats a plucky Doug Williams to claim his place in the last 4.

  • Registered Users Posts: 950 ✭✭✭nasty_crash


    Joe all the way with this one tbh - for a big man to be in the x division shows the talent he has and were seeing it in NXT now! Joe has to win this one imho


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 51,460 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Joe. Simply put, he's better than King.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,146 ✭✭✭Kankan14


    Wow, I'm a big kenny fan but have to vote joe due to his bigger overall contributions.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,166 ✭✭✭Stereomaniac


    Kenny King. I don't know why but for some reason I just enjoy him any time I see him on T.V.


  • Registered Users Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral


    Two hours remain in this match. If neither competitor reaches the required number of votes (four), then the man in the lead will progress.

    It's currently

    Samoa Joe 3
    Kenny King 1


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,491 ✭✭✭thebostoncrab


    Joe without question. There are 4 people that should be in the finals: Sabin,Joe, AJ and Aries. I'd argue Daniels should be there instead of Sabin, but that's the luck of the draw!


  • Registered Users Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral


    Samoa Joe comes up victorious in a 23 hour Iron Man match. Good run for Kenny King but Joe kills him dead.

    Jay Lethal for me , always liked Low Ki/Senshi but loved Jay's impressions of macho man and the whole black machismo thing

    Low Ki was great in ROH around the same time but I feel he never properly took off under the Senshi name

    I think Ki was essential in establishing what the X div was all about in the early days and he had a great run which then lead into the forming of Triple X with Daniels and Skipper. But Jay Lethal was everything a great X div champ should be. He was over, he was always good in the ring and Black Machismo is probably the most memorable thing not named AJ Styles ever done in TNA.

    Black Machismo gets my vote.
