OCC Rant: I’m just going to come right out and say it. I could’ve made a better DVD. The match listing is both underwhelming and illustrates just what is wrong with tNA’s booking of this division. Take a look at the listing again, notice anything weird? Ok, how about of all the matches on that list there is only 1 singles match, 1 tag match and a 6 man tag. Now, look at how many 3-way, 4-way and even upto 6-way matches are on this DVD. If I were in charge of TNA and god only knows I should be, I would cease the multiman matches for the immediate future. I’ll probably pick this up because I have all but 2 of the DVDs that they put out, but this is hardly the best lineup I’ve seen.

On another note, nice that TNA has released 2 best of the X-division DVDs so far with this one being third and we’ve got 2 volume 1’s. Now if TNA is going for the 1, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 formula then that’s cool. (Note, not sure that’s a real math formula or not, my math is horrible.
