It's Damn Real!
The undisputed, undefeated TNA &
Admittedly I was one of the loudest proponents against the idea of having a heel/heel angle in the X Divison and voiced my displeasure with how little TNA has done to give Aries legitimate face competition, but I strongly suggest to all of you to watch the Aries/Kash match from Final Resolution, because surprisingly or not, it's actually working. It's probably not a true heel/heel dynamic but more of a heel/tweener or even tweener/tweener route, but Aries is slowly but surely going that route the same as Anderson did a year ago where despite being a heel he was actually cheered by the crowd.
The work ethic of both these guys and the chemistry they have in the ring IMO has turned what might otherwise be a really awkward situation in a depleted division into a really impressive little feud that's really helping to continue to put Aries over big-time. It's little things like the finish to the match (that was probably one of the better finishes on the card and very reminiscent for me of Eddie Guerrero with Aries handing the title to Kash only to fake injury as a means to use to ref to pick up a quick and cheap victory) that are making this work so well IMO.
I know at some point the divisional depth will have to rise (or rot), but for now I'd say this is an adequate patch to give some of them the time they might need to do so, or potentially give TNA the time it needs to sign a free agent or two to help bolster the ranks.
Thoughts?
