"I've stated before that the reasons I like TNA is because they showcase two things that the WWE has decided to not put much effort into these days...and the two things that made me fall in love with this business in the first place. One is the tag team division & the other is showcased on this DVD...the X divsion. This DVD showcases some X division matches from the past year just like Vol. 1 did. This release does have some positives & negatives though.



The positives are that they didn't spend the whole DVD on Joe/Styles/Daniels since we've seen those matches on Joe's & other DVDs and just only had around a half an hour of highlights & commentary. Also in that respect, it gives a great showcase of those X division wrestlers who were overshadowed in that fued like Petey Williams, Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley and the returning Senshi (Low-Ki).



However, the negatives I can say about this is that they really put alot of matches from Impact that either had other outside storylines/interference going on that took away from the match or were a quick squash match. Also this DVD had too many three/four way matches with everyone getting their high spots in before the finish so it really because repeatitive & loses it value after a while (ala the 5 Abyss thumbtack spots on the "Bloodiest Brawls" DVD). The last X division DVD ended on June of 2005 so while there were tons of matches from Impact, they left out alot of X division matches that were DVD quality that could have been added instead of the repeatitve three/four way matches such as: Petey Williams vs. Jushin "Thunder" Liger (Scarifice '06), the Ultimate X match between Joe/Styles/Daniels (the only match not on DVD yet), Chris Sabin vs. Petey Williams (Unbreakable '05), and other matches from the World X Cup of '06 & the Super X Cup of '05. Here's a list of the matches & keep in mind that the Impact matches are either kept short & clipped because of a commerical break.

IMPACT: X Division Champion Samoa Joe vs. Senshi vs. Sonjay Dutt

Hard Justice: X Division Champion Senshi vs. Jay Lethal vs. Petey Williams

IMPACT: Chris Sabin, Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt vs. Alex Shelley, Johnny Devine, Petey Williams



Overall, I was very pleased with this DVD...it's just a step down below Vol. 1 but still worth picking up in my opinion.



Side Note: For those getting the Wal-Mart double pack...the X Division Vol. 1 DVD was put into one disc instead of the original two & has the correct match listing on the back."

"TNA's X Division has a lot of wrestlers that show size does not matter. Though I am a big fam of Samoa Joe, Aj Styles, and Christopher Daniels I couldnt wait to see others shine such as petey williams, sonjay dutt, chris sabin, and others. This is one dvd set you need to own. Here are the matches...



X Division Champion Christopher Daniels vs. Samoa Joe - This was the match that started right after a UFC show ended so people would stay tuned and watch the match, a good match. 8/10



Chris Sabin vs. Petey Williams vs. Alex Shelley - Another great match between these three underused wrestlers in TNA in my opinion. A good match 9/10



Christopher Daniels vs. Matt Bentley vs. Austin Aries - These three put on a high flying match that showed just what they could do when they went against each other. This was another Impact match. 9/10



A.J. Styles vs. Chris Sabin - Yet another impact match that showed what two of my favorite wrestlers can put on. Probably could have used more time but still good. 8/10



Chris Sabin vs. Petey Williams vs. Austin Aries vs. Alex Shelley - It seems like every match thats on this set is on impact. Too short of a match and another high flying back and forth battle. 7/10



A.J. Styles vs. Jay Lethal - Jay Lethal should have been X Divisin champion a long time before he won it. Nevertheless he proves he can tangle with the best of them in this great short match. 8/10



Other matches include:



Chris Sabin vs. Alex Shelley vs. Sonjay Dutt



Destination X: Chris Sabin vs. Sonjay Dutt vs. Petey Williams vs. Puma



Lockdown: Ultimate Xscape Match - Chris Sabin vs. Chase Stevens vs. Shark Boy vs. Petey Williams vs. Elix Skipper vs. Puma



Alex Shelley & Sonjay Dutt (Team USA) vs. Goto & Tanaka (Team Japan)



Jay Lethal vs. Shark Boy vs. Senshi vs. Alex Shelley

Sonjay Dutt vs. Jay Lethal vs. Shark Boy vs. Senshi vs. Petey Williams vs. Alex Shelley



X Division Champion Samoa Joe vs. Senshi vs. Sonjay Dutt

Hard Justice: X Division Champion Senshi vs. Jay Lethal vs. Petey Williams



Chris Sabin, Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt vs. Alex Shelley, Johnny Devine, Petey Williams



This is a good set, the first volume of the X Division is a little better than the second but this is still highly recommended...
