- Agent meetings before this past Tuesday's iMPACT tapings ran much longer than usual as major rewrites were done. Most of the changes made were said to be on the third and final show taped this week. Apparently they wanted to make changes because most of what was changed was written before the official announcement about March 8th was made.

- Sources report that next month's Destination X pay-per-view will not be an all-X Division event, despite previous reports and advertising for the show. One TNA source noted that "it would look like an indy show" because there aren't enough X Division wrestlers who are over enough. Word is that the X Division will be heavily featured on the pay-per-view and the Ultimate X match will still take place.

- The controversial footage of Orlando Jordan and his new male companion was not shown on last night's iMPACT. No word yet if it was Spike or TNA that decided not to air it.

A correspondent at the tapings said that the two didn't kiss but Jordan's male companion put his hands all over Jordan's body and went very slow around his crotch. They are doing a bi-sexual gimmick with Jordan as he came to the ring last night with the new male and a female companion. It's no secret that Jordan is really bi-sexual.

Talk around the TNA locker room is that the male with Jordan on last night's iMPACT is actually his real-life boyfriend.

Gee, I was hoping for an all X division PPV. And that 8 man tag match last night had me drooling for one tbh. I hinted at the OJ bisexual angle in my review(which you should all read). Something, he was going to do in the WWE before he got fired

I knew from the very beginning they wouldn't do an All X division PPV, they aren't that stupid. It's bad enough their PPV buy rates are god awful at best with some recognizable names that they have. But who in the fuck with half a working brain in that company would think the Mighty Midget Brigade would draw a fucking dime? It's really sad when Hornswoggle is more over than all their X guys combined.

Good that they decided not to air the kiss. Even better to know that between Hogan, Russo, Bisch and Dumbtwat Carter that there is at least half a functioning brain between them and enough damned common sense to nip such stupid ideas in the bud.

Because we all know it wasn't the X-Division that made TNA stand out in the first place. I was actually hoping for an all X-Division PPV.

It caught some smarks eyes and got AJ a larger role, but it's been basically five years since the X division meant anything or was a focus of TNA, sans the brief resuscitation that Joe, AJ and Chris Daniels breathed into it in sometime back, but outside that it hasn't meant shit and has never equaled money. So if you think that with who makes up the division today would sell PPVs your lying to yourself. It would be an over glorified indy show that would lose so much money with a bunch of no namers that appeal to smarks.

No I don't think they should just push them anymore as the main guys in TNA or headline multiple PPVs, but I really do think one all x-division PPV would sell. Throw in AJ, Joe, and Daniels in it aswell, anyone who can actually be considered someone who can wrestle in the division. Now I don't think it'd be their top ppv, but would sell decently.

I think the X-Division and the Tag Division could be a big force in TNA if they'd stop trying to be like WWE and only focusing on their Main Eventer single guys. You said that the X-Division hasn't meant anything in about the last 5 years, that's about when Sting (a year before) and Angle came in along with a few other ex-WWE singles guys who were mainly focused on.

TNA had a great tag division but it's pretty much like WWEs now, some great tag teams that just aren't doing anything. A lightweight division with some great guys who they either let go or are just there. Granted they seem to be slowly putting some more focus back on them but they had the guys to put on one or two good PPVs while giving their singles main eventers a break if they do it right.

1. TNA guys work like maybe 10 times a month at the most and that's including house shows. They get a break 2/3 of the month.

2. TNA sells an incredibly low amount of PPVs, we're talking less than 10k and that number came from an incredibly reliable source. No less than the person who broke the news of TNA Epics and the Bravo news, so that's pretty credible. So, that pathetic number is with names that once sold tickets. With Joe, AJ and Chris Daniels as the top draws, that's just a bad move because neither are draws outside the indies. It's just one of those "that's the way it is" things in wrestling, little dudes don't draw. Doesn't matter how good of wrestler's they are perceived to be. They area very small niche group. There isn't an X guy, Joe and AJ included that could sell a show for TNA without some REAL star power on it. You need the Angles, Foleys, Stings and Hogans and old WWE names to sell that already low amount of shows. It would be near suicide for TNA not to put names on the show. Ideally TNA, if ran better the past five years, should be in a position to have an all X division PPV, but the booking is circular and regressive and nothing could be worse for TNA to do next to an all-knockout PPV. Or pushing a big stupid autistic bafoon wearing a mask and acting like a Blue kid. Wait...
