I personally couldn't relate to any of them.

Flip Kendrick, Dakota Darsow, Rubix and Kenny King were cool. That's mainly because I actually know them before they came to TNA but Mason Andrews, Lars Only, and that Rashad guy didn't fit IMO. Anyone agree? I would have preferred to see guys like Jack Evans, Jay Lethal, Petey Williams and Elix Skipper. I know the X Division has to evolve sometime but these guys weren't good IMO.

And I also thought they should have put RVD vs Jeff Hardy on this show somewhere, do you guys agree? This was a great PPV but I thought last years was better because it felt like an X Division celebration of sorts. Somewhat like ECW One Night Stand.

Dakota Darsow didn't seem anything special to me. I personally thought Rashad Cameron was a total fucking badass and would love to see him get a place in TNA, not sure if he will though.

Also TNA need to hire Rubix/Jigsaw now. He was over like rover on Destination X, which is impressive considering it was his second match in TNA.

Agree about Rubix.

Andrews and King seemed solid enough but didn't excite me.

I didn't like Rashad but he could have potential as a sort of black, X Division Steiner....

The others were fairly forgettable (I'm excluding Dutt as I think of him as a TNA guy even if he doesn't have a contract).

Rubix would definitely be a good signing, though.

They also need to rethink the format of DX. I like X Division wrestling, but really, when you've seen one match, you've seen them all. I was definitely getting "X fatigue" after an hour or so of it and things only really picked up again with Joe and Angle.

Rubix, King and Dutt where by far the most over, those are the three they really should be signing, and I think will sign.

Rashad Cameron if you see his work as Sabian or BLK Jeezus has more charisma then all 5 of the guys you mentioned (OP)

The only ones that really stood out to me were Kenny King, Sonjay Dutt (both of whom have been around a long time) and Rubix/Jigsaw (by the way, if his name is Rubix, he should adopt a Rubix Cube color scheme), and he only stood out because he was the masked guy.

Everyone else? Meh. Mediocre (at best) Indy guys.

Rashad Cameron so underrated.

TNA will probally sign only about or 5 of those guys like they did last year ...

Kenny King is pretty much a lock for a contract because he got released by ROH, so he had to have been promised a contract if he took the chance that he did

Rubix should get sign, due to the fact that the crowd was behind him in both of his matches in TNA, and his is a great worker

Mason Andrews is a guy who would be good for TNA, in both the X-Division and later could be used in the tag team division along side Joey Ryan. The Dynasty In TNA

Rashad Cameron was a great heel in the two matches he worked and would do great in this division along side Kid Kash and Zema Ion as the top heels in the X-Division

Sonjay Dutt is also a lock. But due to his injury, we probally won't see him for a little while because Dixie said he will be out about 5 weeks with a bad shoulder

I agree that Jeff Hardy should've been on this show...but against Joe, and Angle should've teamed with AJ to use their tag team title rematch against Daniels and Kazarian in a 2 out of 3 falls match with the champs retaining. Kazarian would've deservedly made the card, the Styles vs Daniels LMS match could've been saved for Hardcore Justice, Joe would've still gone over a big name via submission while moving to the number one spot in the BFG Series and the matches would've been fresh.

As for the X-Division championship tournament matches/competitors, they were pretty underwhelming and boring, tbh.
I liked King, Andrews, and Rubix and am certain TNA feels the same, they'll all be signed, as will Dutt. The rest were just a waste of a spot. Guys I would've liked to have seen include Chris Silvio, Kozlov, and Generico. Perhaps having the tournament matches a little more spread out would've helped too, maybe going with the 4 way first like they did, then the first two tournament matches, then the BFG series match, then the final two tournament matches with the Ultimate X after Styles/Daniels and before the main event.

Can't complain too much though, still another good show those are just some of personal opinions and personally think they would've taken the show to a whole other level.

i liked a couple of the new x division guys.

kenny king is badass, hope titus follows and we get the anx in tna.

sonjay was a welcome return

rubix/jigsaw was also very good and over with the crowd. wish theyd just call him jigsaw tho, rubix is kinda corny especially with the puzzle mask he had, very fun to watch tho.

mason andrews was pretty good too.

every1 else was pretty meh tho. rashad was kinda sloppy in his match with sonjay, flip is a spot monkey, lars and dakota were just bad.

would like to see el generico, petey williams, and roddy strong w/truth martini in the x division.

Rashad wasn't sloppy, Guy just didn't do spots.

I'm guessing since you knew Kendrick, Darsow, Rubix, and King before TNA you watch indy wrestling.And if you do, how do you not know who Andrews and Only are?Both are in PWG and have been for years and Cameron is from CZW.

Yeah, DX needs to go back to being a regular ppv with the only gimmick of the ppv being Option C.

Darsow sucked last year and wasn't any different this year. Flip was a poor mans Jack Evans and gave me the impression they tried to get him back & failed so went for Flip. Mason Andrews looked good at the PPV I thought and I've seen Only do well in PWG but he only really showed bursts of something on Sunday.

RVD vs Jeff Hardy would've been awful and they had a match on impact like, two weeks ago so there would've been no reason for it. Pretty sure Elix Skipper is in like his mid 40's now too. Idk what Petey Williams is doing these days, Provided the 3 guys in the ultimate X and Rubix get signed I'll be happy. If they brought in Only and Johnny Goodtime to have the RockNES Monsters in the tag division that could be cool.

King is decent and rubix was pretty good other then that its division full of shit.

Rubix was my favourite newcomer out of the bunch. They should hire him just for the amount of cash selling his masks/action figures could bring in.

Scorpio work on PWG sucks, he owns on NWA hollywood... bring the experience to tna.

Why so much hate for Only. He did well enough in my opinion.

Lets bring ANX, Rockness Monster and The Dinasty in TNA, to have greatest tag-team division once again.
