Turning Point: Rhino vs Sheik Abdul Bashir

[Rusty]

Grudge Match: "The War Machine" Rhino vs. X Division Champion Sheik Abdul Bashir​

It seems like this is a non title match up here. Sheik Abdul Bashir is still one the worst names ever for a wrestler. Daivari was a much better name. He seems to be getting over as a heel and does have talent. The WWE never used him to his full potential, but TNA seem to have faith in this guy which is a good thing. This is a Grudge Match which tells me that they want to beat the living hell out of each other, and they will do so indeed.

Non Title matchups are predictable. Rhino will win this cleanly. This will most likely be boring and seems like a filler for the Turning Point pay per view. It wont go for more than 7 minutes, and if it does I will be suprised. I'm expecting this to be a bore, and I'm sure you all agree with me.

I would love to see Rhino win the X Division Title down the line. THink about it. How many times have you heard the line "It's about No Limits, not weight limits" or something like that? Its supposed to be in essence the extreme title, and who is more extreme than Rhino? This is TNA's chance to make this the true midcard title. For way too long its been the cruiserweight title, now it can be the US title. Let it be that, and thigns will truly be going up for TNA. However, if its nontitle, I ask the simple question of why have the match? There's no build, no story, why have this? If Rhino just says he wants the title, then that's at least something. Let that be the story. better than non title at least.

Having not seen this weeks iMPACT this makes no sense to me. So next week I'll update and probably be even more confused. I just saw Daivari beat Jay Lethal, so I'm not sure why Rhino is having a match with him.

The whole problem with ''It's not about weight limits, it's about no limits'' is that Rhino is very limited these days. Hopefully Bashir wins him, and Rhino can join the Main Ent Mafia. He'll be another one that isn't of main event quality. But at least he can do the high impact spots Kevin Nash doesn't feel like doing.

Not feeling this match at all. I really hope Davari doesn't have to job to Rhyno. There is no need for the X champ to job to a guy like Rhyno, it just devalues the title even more. This seems straight up filler but Rhyno will probably win. I just think that if Davari jobs to Rhyno it will make TNA look like they don't know how to book and don't care about the X-Division. The match itself will probably be fine since Rhyno can still move around and is willing to take some bumps and Abdul can still fly around the ring. Rhyno worked well with Tajiri in the WWE so I hope Abdul can aswell(even though Tajirir is way better)
