What's going to happen once DX is over and they go back to their regular stuff?
Well the only way I can answer that is by giving you what I hope will happen, but first I have a question for you and everyone else who feels like answering.
Would TNA benefit from increasing the show to 2 and 1/2 hours, 3 hours, or adding a second weekly show?
Now as for your question, I think in order to utilize the X Division, the show should be increased anywhere from 2 1/2 - 3 hours a night. It needs more then 2 hours for the 50+ wrestlers they have (10+ KO's included.) I think with the amount of talented people they have, they should be able to pull off a three hour show. There needs to be enough allotted time for the KO's, Tag Team's, X Division, TV and World title contenders. I think right now the KO's are receiving too much air time.
So my hope is that they do utilize the X Division and things do not go back to normal, though I don't think TNA really has a norm; they always seem to be experimenting and trying new things for better or worse. And if they're going to utilize the X Division, I don't think Kaz, Kendrick, and Abyss should be your figure heads for the Division. What I'd like to see is TNA pumping blood into the X Division and by that I mean, don't just keep using the same 10 guys. Give opportunities to guys who come cheap and you can pay per appearance.
I think D'Angelo Dinero would be a good fit for the X Division instead of having these edgy feuds with overweight over the hill competitors like Joe and Devon. I'd have no problem with Dinero being X Division champion and feuding with the likes of Austin Aries. It was Kaz (as Suicide) feud with Dinero that got him over in the first place.
What I don't like is that only 1 guy is suppose to get a contract of Aries, Low Ki, Ion, ? and two of those names are probably better X Division wrestlers then most of the current X Division. What I would do with the X Division is have a main storyline for the title, maybe even involve four guys in the title scene at all times. And then have at least one other X Division match a show where you just throw 3-6 guys in the ring and let them do that crazy flippy twirl shit everyone likes, but don't even worry about giving them a storyline until they get into the title picture.
If you spread out a couple of these matches a show, it'll satisfy those thirsty for this kind of stuff and they will only have to concentrate on writing one storyline for the X Division while utilizing the entire Division. Also, it should be clear whose X Division and who isn't.
Anyway, I'm one of the few who has faith in Bischoff. He's the same guy who introduced us to Luchadores and had the foresight to bring in someone like Sabu for either the first or second Nitro taping, back in 95. While he might not consider them capable of ever being huge draws (which I agree with him on) I think he realizes that they can be a huge asset to the show and make it better. He already has Sting, Angle, Anderson etc He has the draws, now he just has to put on a good show and to do that you drop in an X Division match here in their.
I have faith in Bischoff and I think we'll be seeing more and more of the X Division scattered through the show, but I think they need a longer show to do so.
