On last night's edition of IMPACT Wrestling, Austin Aries agreed to give up his X-Division title for a shot at Bobby Roode and the TNA World Title at Destination X. Aries did so on the condition that every year, at Destination X, whoever the X-Division champion is at the time will have the same choice (give up the title for a world title shot) as he did.

This is one of those things that could easily forgoten, but i hope not.

I hope not either, It's sort of their "Money In The Bank". And IMO, puts more importance in the X-Division Title.

I dont know when i watched it felt like it did and it didnt. Like it gives a reason for people to want to win the title. But if you hold the title say in the month after Destination X it really seems like a lesser title. Its the title you can turn into a real title if you won a match. I think Bobby Rood adding to it, kinda hurt it to me. Its like a Disney Dollar that you can turn in for real money at the gate. No one thinks that Disney dollars are better then regular dollars.

You know this is the problem with this promotion, its completely void of any reason for feuds anymore, are they that lazy to create a feud? Austin Aries is a hot character, Hulk Hogan is looking for someone to take Roode Down, put in a blender with a run in or a promo and you got yourself a feud, Instead we have to get into this melodramatic crapfest of every feud has to be about crap that hasn't little or nothing to do with with the show

I see it as, like I said before, a Money in the Bank kind of thing. Here's a title you can win, even a month before Destination-X and still have a chance at a World title shot. The importance is winning and keeping the title until the Destination-X PPV. It's the same concept as MITB, just a title instead of a briefcase.

Money in the Bank? My ass, Money in the bank is a guranteed Contract for a Title match when you see fit for over a year. This is giving up your so called 2nd title which openly buries it for a match on a Pay Per View for the title. Come on

When Warrior won the world title he let his IC title go. It just makes common sense.

_________________

Really good stipulation, puts over how important the World Title is, that the person holding the #2 belt in the promotion is willing to give it up just for a World Title shot at the ppv. Pretty creative, I liked it a lot.

yes after he won the title, it was a big deal that Warrior had WWE and IC championship If I remeber correctly no one else has done it sense. Don't you think it'd be more value to the title and storyline to have Aries come out and say I am proving myself in the X-Division and what better way to prove that than at Destination X I challenge Bobby Roode for the TNA Championship and for the first time a true wrestler will have both the X-Division and TNA Championship. Bobby Roode comes out makes a big stink about how he's a no one you set the match up Roode squeaks by with another cheap victory and then you seperate.

Its 22 years later but it still kinda puzzles me that it was "Title for Title" if the IC Title was going to be vacated either way.

I said it was sort of like money in the bank, not exactly. Fucking read before you spout your negative bullshit. It's the same kind of concept. Do you really not see you have an unhealthy TNA obsession?

ITS NOTHING like the Money in the Bank not even remotely besides you get a title shot at the end of it

I don't mind the idea...

you just contradicted yourself by saying it's not remotely close and then pointing out they BOTH have title shots involved. It's a title instead of a briefcase.

Seriously learn to do a fucking comparision this is almost as dumb as the Ernest Miller vs Brodius Clay idea. Lets take the most basic concepts and pretend they have anything to do with each other. Money in the Bank is a multiman Ladder Match that ends with someone winning a contract to use when he feels like, this isn't a concept match its just some jack off handing over one belt for a shot at another at Destination X they aren't alike remotely

I agree with XT to an extent that its lazy, but it puts a of of importance on the X Division title, gives the wrestlers more reason to hold the belt especially around this time of year and to fight to hold onto it as well.

but do you really think next year when they as usual forget about the division and they have someone like Kid Kash holding the belt there going to do this over again? Austin Aries is a stand out in a irrelevant division so I wouldn't hold my breath this concept will last

My job isn't to see into the future.

Fair enough

However this whole thing comes back to a common pattern they keep doing in TNA of making these things completely devoid of an actual storyline and just making everything be a gay reality show and over complicate things that really don't need to be over complicated

Well it does happen with Money in the Bank as well, they have Edge come out and Spear Cena/Taker and win the belt out of nowhere and come up with a story later, or have Kane beat Chavo and come up with one after the fact. rarely do they build into it like with RVD. But I don't think this is complicated, it has its flaw of "why wouldn't the X-Division champ take the World title shot" but it has a very good shot of elevating a guy.

You are really talking about when Russo was writing, yes they had some story-lines that just faded away, that's true. But why not just give them a chance and see where the new creative team takes it. Seriously dude, TNA has been a solid show the past 2 months when it comes to their story-lines making sense. It's just starting to take a turn for the best. All we can do is see what happens next year.

Well the WWE thing with the Money in the Bank I've said a few times there getting lazy with it and need to have someone finally lose. The difference however is this is once a year

TNa has gotten to the point where its EVERY show feuds aren't based on conflict anymore there based on Gutchecks, and Callout nights, and Whatever that stupid segment Hogan does every month, is it really so hard to give Austin Aries a Microphone and have him openly challenge the Worlds Champion? I think the X-Division champion should challenge Roode and they'll probably have a hell of a match but instead of basing it off a stupid game show concept again why not just have a storyline and run with it. I don't understand why they have to complicate it with stupid concepts and game show tatics. Most likely TNA isn't going to build this around Austin Aries wanting to face Bobby Roode it'll be based on Aries giving up the x-division championship to get a match

when there driving down a dead end like they clearly are right now why would you just cheer them on as they do it and this booking squad is just as short sighted as Russo. As Russo put over the entertaininment aspect way too much these guys are putting over reality wresting too much. Is it too hard to have a feud based on Austin Aries in a Tag Team match lets say pins Roode and he developes a back and forth with the Champion. Is that too hard to ask for? No what were going to get is another feud based on game show tatics

While all that goes on they are setting James Storm's title run to be dead on arrival

Well I think its more plausible he'd get a shot because he's X Division champion rather than calling someone out, surely its better to have some retainable value like being a Champion before getting a shot rather than randomly getting one because you had five minutes on a microphone, I know wrestling is largely based around that but Aries and Roode have no history together that I can remember.
