X Division to be more part of TNA going forward?

[Lucky]

The following is an excerpt from a new interview with TNA Wrestling star Brian Kendrick:

"If this show draws noticeably better than other pay-per-views, it will be hard to dismiss those numbers. Not to say they won't be dismissed, but it will be nice, solid evidence that people do care about the X division. They want exciting wrestling and fresh faces."

"The downside is I'm in an X division title match on an X division pay-per-view but the focus the last few weeks is still on the heavyweight division."

"We've got a shot at the X Division breaking through. To be honest, it's not a full-fledged shot. But it is a shot."

Do you think if the PPV gets good numbers it will force management to re-think their stance right now with programming?

I would think a good buy rate would amp up the X-Division in TNA for a couple months. Then it will be all about the stars again. Money talks.

 

[Deezy]

Money doesn't talk in TNA. Classic example are the Knockouts, still their big ratings grabber and still made to look like a joke. Watered down since it's inception.

Nobody cares about people who can do flips and have no personality.

If the buyrate is high then they will push them for a few months and then forget about them again. Kendrick says it himself in the interview where he says there is an X-Division PPV coming up but the focus is on the heavyweights who won't even be on the card.

 

[Keith]

Kendrick may have a point, but again why do these guys think it helps to have a go at the booking team in public, surely going to them in private and stating the case would be much better. I doubt a better rating for this ppv would make that much of a difference to their thinking, they are set on their course, have their own way of doing things, and it is going to take much more than this to change it.

 

[Andrew]

I'll watch Destination X tomorrow and I really hope the X-Division can be picked up once again. It was the sole reason I'd watch TNA.

 

[Keith]

Then you would be missing out because the ppv is actually on tonight LOL!

 

[Troy]

Because of the time difference the show is on a Monday Australian time.

 

[Andrew]

Sometimes you amaze me Keith...

10 hours time bro.

 

[The New F'n Show]

I'll probably watch it as well. Looks like a decent card and Jerry Lynn-RVD is intriguing.

 

[Keith]

Sometimes you amaze me Keith...

10 hours time bro.

Thanks, you meant in a good way right? LOL.

From all reports the PPV went well and TNA are now starting to hire more X-Division wrestlers so it does indeed look like the X-Division will play a bigger role in the future of Impact.
