4.0 out of 5 stars WHAT A "CRUISERWEIGHT" DIVISION SHOULD BE ALL ABOUT!!!
If your like me & was a fan of the crusierweight style action that you saw back in the mid to late 90's in WCW and quite frankly are disappointed in WWE's pathetic attempts at that same division (Jacqueline, Chavo Classic, Funaki...and everyone else stuck on Velocity) then this DVD is for you because this is a throwback to that style of wrestling with a little...

4.0 out of 5 stars WHAT A "CRUISERWEIGHT" DIVISION SHOULD BE ALL ABOUT!!!, January 28, 2006
By 
D.P. (California) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
This review is from: TNA Wrestling: The Best of the X Division Volume 1 (DVD)
If your like me & was a fan of the crusierweight style action that you saw back in the mid to late 90's in WCW and quite frankly are disappointed in WWE's pathetic attempts at that same division (Jacqueline, Chavo Classic, Funaki...and everyone else stuck on Velocity) then this DVD is for you because this is a throwback to that style of wrestling with a little twist...there is no weight limits here which makes room for a guy like Samoa Joe to leave people with their jaws dropped.

There are some flaws here as there isn't a AJ Styles vs. Johnny Devine match which they advertised on the cover. Also, there is also only 1 match with Styles vs. Williams vs. Sabin & that's the Ultimate X match...there isn't another 3 way dance between the three. However all the matches on here are from the latest stint of TNA where they have the six-sided ring & are in Universal Studios in Flordia. If your looking for X Division during the time in Nashville, check out TNA's website for the two DVD's they have in that era.

1. Victory Road - 20 Man Gauntlet Battle Royal
The format is similar to the Royal Rumble except only 20 guys & short time interluded. You'll see old favorites like Spanky, Psychosis, La Parka, Hector Garza along with TNA regulars like Matt Bently (with Traci), Chris Sabin, Sonjay Dutt and others. Fun match.

2. Victory Road - X Division Champion Petey Williams vs. AJ Styles
Unfortunally, this is one of the flops of the DVD because this match was really short (about 10 mins.) and it's constant interfearence from William's manager Scott D. It would have been better to put the match from the Turning Point PPV with Williams vs. Sabin.

3. Impact - Christopher Daniels vs. Chris Sabin
Nice overall match but it's clipped.

4. Final Resolution - Ultimate X Match: Williams vs. Sabin vs. Styles
If you never seen an Ultimate X match, it's really something to watch because high spots put off in this match are really something that will keep your guys on the ring. Watch AJ get kicked off the top & flipped inside out. The ending was something I didn't expect but it creative. Great match.

5. Against All Odds - Ironman Match: Daniels vs. Styles
This match specifically is for those who say the X Division & TNA in general is full of "car crash matches & high spots" as they give you their high flyin' along with great mat wrestling for a full 30 mins.

6. Destination X - Ultimate X Match: Daniels vs. Styles vs. Primetime vs. Killings
The rules for this match was different than usual as you have to eliminate two participants in first a tag then triple threat match before the Ultimate X match actually starts. Long match but with the stiputlations, it never really gets boring. Teh ending was a real screwjob but what would you expect from the lead heel in the X Division at that time

7. Lockdown - Ultimate Xscape Match: Shocker vs. Matt Bentley (with Trinity) vs. Chris Sabin vs. Sonjay Dutt
Similar to the previous match, you gotta elimate two other participants before the actual match starts. To win, you gotta be the first to escape the cage. It was a photo finish in the end & overall a great match but the real show stealer was Trinity's moonsault from the top of the cage.

8. No Surrender - AJ Styles vs. Sean Waltman with Jerry Lynn as the guest referee
It was a average match for me but the best Waltman has looked in years.

9. No Surrender - Samoa Joe vs. Chris Sabin
Unfortunally the only Joe match on here but perfectly shows that X Divsion is about no limits, not weight limits. Joe's style is similar to that of the "shootfighting" that Taz & Ken Shamrock used to do with the stiff kicks & punches. Great match to showcase Joe.
Note: Also available on the Samoa Joe DVD

10. Interview with Jerry Lynn
Just a basic interview with Lynn talking about the beginnings of his career, how he got into the business, his favorite fueds, ect.

Bonus
In the bonus section, they have two matches from Impact featuring Triple H (Daniels & Primetime) vs. Amazing Red & Sonjay Dutt and also a six way match with AJ Styles vs. Kid Kash vs. Amazing Red vs. Chris Sabin vs. Alex Shelly vs. Kazarian. Both of which are clipped & nothing really special.

Again, if your a fan of the old school crusierweight division of WCW...this is definately for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars TNA! TNA! TNA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, January 22, 2006
A Kid's Review
This review is from: TNA Wrestling: The Best of the X Division Volume 1 (DVD)
The best of the X division dvd is one of the greatest dvd's ever. I'm about to rate all the matches from 1-10 (10 being the greatest).

1. 20 man X gauntlet match for an X division trophy

This match had a lot of great spots. One of the greatest parts of this match up was when 7 or 8 guys stacked on top of each other and created a move called the Tower of Doom! It was an amazing move. Also the fact that when there was only two men left it became a pinfall match. The ending wasn't very good, but the rest was great. I give this match- 9.5/10

2. Petey Williams vs. AJ Styles

This match was great the greatest part was when Petey Williams jumped from the second rope to the mat and nailed the Canadian Destroyer on AJ Styles. The problem was that the match up was short, but it was great none the less. I give this match- 9/10

3. Chris Sabin vs. Christopher Daniels

This match unfortunately was the worst on the dvd only because it was way to short. Don't get me wrong this was a good match between these two, but it should've been longer. I give this match- 8.5/10

4. Ultimate X match featuring AJ Styles, Petey Williams, and Chris Sabin

This without a shadow of a doubt is one of the greatest matches in wrestling history. This match was fast paced and had tons of highspots. The two greatest were when AJ Styles did a perfect front flip over the ropes and landed on Williams, and Sabin, and one more was when AJ Styles was on the cable and Sabin kicked him and he took one of the sickest falls in wrestling history. The cables are about 15 feet high and when AJ fell it was awesome. I give this match- 10/10

4. AJ Styles vs. Christopher Daniels

This was a great match between these two. This had technical, speed, and high flying maneuvers in this match. Also AJ Styles bleeds bigtime in like the final 5 minutes, or less in this match. I give this match-9.5/10

5. Ultimate X match featuring AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Ron "Truth" Killings, and Primetime Elix Skipper

This was a match that was first a tag match then a triple threat match, and then an Ultimate X match. This was also a very great match. The greatest parts were when Christopher Daniels did the Best Moonsault ever from the top of the X, And one more was when AJ Styles did A Shooting Star Press from the top of the X. It was simply Phenomenal. Also a cool part was whwn AJ Styles nailed a move called the Pele. I give this match- 10/10

6. Xscape match featuring Shocker, Matt Bentley, Sonjay Dutt, and Chris Sabin

This was a unique match not only because it had the SIX SIDES OF STEEL (a cage with six sides), but the begining what you needed to do was eliminate two people by either pinfall or submission, and when there was two left You had to Xscape the SIX SIDES STEEL. The greatest part was when Trinity did a great moonsault from the top of the cage. I give this match a- 10/10

7. AJ Styles vs. Sean Waltman (X-Pac)

This had a special referee. I'm not telling you who he is. This match had a lot of good spots. A great part was when Sean Waltman did a front flip on AJ Styles. Both men were bleeding from either the mouth or the nose. It was great I give this match- 9/10

8. Chris Sabin vs. Samoa Joe

This had the greatest effort I've ever seen from Chris Sabin. He nearly beat the unstoppable Samoa Joe. The greatest part was when he nailed a dropkick on Samoa Joe and he fell into the guardrail, and when Samoa Joe nailed a huge Musclebuster on Chris Sabiin. I give this match- 9.5/10

The extras are good as well. They are a 6 way match, and a tag team match. Without a doubt you should get this dvd.

4.0 out of 5 stars TNA: Best of the X Division Vol. 1, October 21, 2005
This review is from: TNA Wrestling: The Best of the X Division Volume 1 (DVD)
The X Division is an incredible division in TNA, much like the Cruiserweight division from WCW, not the WWE. It showcases what is considered some of the greatest wrestling of all time, and with the matches from this DVD, I can't argue

Victory Road - 20 Man X Division Gauntlet - Terrific match from TNA's first 3-hour PPV, with all the men in the ring it can get hard to focus sometimes, but that's the only complaint. Terrific performances from Jerrelle Clark and Kazarian, and an awesome tower of doom. 8/10

Victory Road - AJ Styles vs. Petey Williams for the X Division Championship - Once again from TNA's first PPV, this match was probably the most hyped TNA match ever at the time, and it did not disappoint, first time viewers will see how awesome AJ's offense is only complaint is that it was a little short, and Scott D'Amore played too big of a role, great match 7/10

Impact! - Chris Sabin vs. Christopher Daniels for a spot in the Ultimate X Match - Not one of my favorite matches of all time, I remember it being better, this was probably the start of Daniels' singles push, great for an Impact main event, but that about covers it 6/10

Final Resolution - Ultimate X Match for the X Division Championship - One of the greatest X division matches of all time, each man sells their injuries and fatigue fantastically, awesome hurricanrana from Petey and a sick bump from the top of the X by AJ Styles that has to be seen to believed, great ending 10/10

Against All Odds - Christopher Daniels vs. AJ Styles in an Ironman Match for the X Division Championship - Possibly the greatest Ironman match I have ever seen, these two just have that rare chemistry, always have, AJ does a splendid job of selling the fatigue while Daniels plays that arrogant a-hole so well, not a bad thing wrong with this match 10/10

Destination X - Ultimate X Match for the X Division Championship - Awesome, but not as good as Final Resolution, I think it has to do with the X not really being a huge factor (other than an awesome moonsault and a reverse hurricanrana spot) until the final two, the tag team and triple threat stipulations worked fairly well, but were kind of throwaway because everyone and their brother knew the final two were going to be Daniels and Styles, like I said awesome, but not as good as Final Resolution 9/10

Lockdown - Xscape Match - Great tag team match that turns into a sloppy triple threat match and a mediocre cage match. When Dutt was eliminated first I knew we were in trouble however Sabin and Bentley did offer a few cool spots, that whiplash into the cage just looked plain brutal. Shocker never did it for me as a wrestler, so I wasn't real happy with the ending. Trinity's moonsault has to be one of the best woman spots I've ever seen. Good tag team match, but that's about it. 6/10

No Surrender - AJ Styles vs. Sean Waltman - A good match with great ring psychology and having Jerry Lynn as referee only made the whole experience sweeter. Typical good spots by AJ and Waltman also brought his A game. AJ's first Clash looked sick and I'm surprised that Waltman didn't have a neck injury afterwards. AJ's bloody nose is pretty sick, but the show must go on. A damn good match 7/10

No Surrender - Samoa Joe vs. Chris Sabin - The first time I ever had a chance to see Joe in action, and I have to say he impressed. Sabin did a terrific job of withstanding Joe's brutal offense. That Muscle Buster was just awesome, and so was the Kokhia Clutch. Sabin looked stronger after taking Joe's offense and then dishing out some punishment of his own. Joe really flew in this match for being such a big guy. Great match 8/10

Extras located on Disc 2.

Impact! - Sonjay Dutt & Amazing Red vs. Triple X - What a great tag team match, seeing as it was only 5 minutes long. A pretty creative ending but we all knew who was going to win, about ten times better than your normal Impact opener, but I don't know how much that's saying. One of Triple X's last matches as Daniels and Primetime were forced to go single at Turning Point. Good match 6/10

Impact! - 6 Man X Division Match - About ten times better than your run-of-the-mill WWE cruiserweight battle royals, as every man is made to look like they could have won it. Rather short at 7 minutes, but I can't complain because of all the action that was shown during that short period. Very funny spot when Red goes to pin someone and all four opponents come in and break it up. This was to determine the #1 contender for the X Divison title at Victory Road. A classic Impact! Main event 7/10

5.0 out of 5 stars The X division defines TNA, November 28, 2005
A Kid's Review
This review is from: TNA Wrestling: The Best of the X Division Volume 1 (DVD)
The best of the X division volume 1 showcases some of the best talent in the world today that prove that there are no limatations to what you do in the ring, with some of the best high flying and technical wrestling you wont see anywhere else.
Here are the ratings of the matches
Disk 1
20 man X division Battle Royal 8.5/10
Great match that saw some of the younger talent like Kazarian and Matt Sydal show there stuff, and the older talent like Psycosis that prove they still have something. Hector Garza wins with a unique rollup around the 27 min mark.

AJ Styles vs Petey Williams- Victory Road X title Match 8/10
They Have had better matches aganist each other but this was still good as of the most fast paced matches they have had together. really short match that saw Williams retain the title with the Canadian Desroyer around 10 mins.

Christopher Daniels Vs Chris Sabin- Imapact 7/10
the worst match on both disks easily, the match was not bad but was two short and was only clipped. Sabin wins with A Rolling cradle around 10 min.

Petey Williams Vs Chris Sabin Vs AJ Styles Ultimate X match Final resolution 9.5/10
2nd best match on this set. These three have great chemistry together and dished out the most innovating moves you will ever see like AJ Styles taking the sickest bump in wrestling today. Easily the best ultimate x match ever. gotta see it to believe it. AJ wins by jumping across the ring stealing the x title around 25 Mins.

AJ Styles Vs Christopher Daniels Ironman match Aganist All Odds 10/10
Moty in my opinion, Just beating Joe Vs Kobashi. This match had everything from technical wrestling to High flying. These two Gave everything they had with AJ winning with the styles clash in sudden death around the 33 min mark.

Disk 2
Not as good as disk 1 but had some credible matches like the ultimate x challange and the xscape match. other matches mentionable are Chris Sabin Vs Samoa Joe and Sean Waltman Vs AJ styles, Definently A dvd for Any true wrestling fan who is looking for something new besides the bland WWE.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Best of X Division! The Worst of Editing!, October 30, 2005
This review is from: TNA Wrestling: The Best of the X Division Volume 1 (DVD)
This is a 2 disc set of matches featuring TNA's X Division. The disc is hosted by Jeremy Borash with match play-by-play by Don West and Mike Tenay. The following are my reviews of the matches based out of 5 *****:
Disc One:
1) 20 Man X Gauntlet - This is TNA's version of a Royal Rumble. There are 20 wrestlers, and they enter the ring in 60 second intervals. Wrestlers are eliminated by being tossed over the top rope onto the outside floor. The final two wrestlers have to win by either pinfall or submission. The first two wrestlers in the ring are Frankie Kazarian and Sonjay Dutt. Some notable wrestlers in this match are Chris Sabin, Hector Garza, Matt Bentley and Sonny Siaki. There is a pretty cool "Tower Of Doom" done by about 8 wrestlers! There are some great individual moves by various other wrestlers. The ending is lame.
Rating - *** (26min 30sec)

2) Petey Williams(C) w/ Coach D'Amore vs AJ Styles - There is a nice display of chain wrestling in the beginning of the match. AJ lands one of the most beautiful over the top rope flip-dives you will ever see. Interference from D'Amore interupts a fantastic match. Which wrestler is able to land thier finisher first? A decent match but way too short. Rating - **** (10min)

3) Chris Sabin vs Christopher Daniels - This match is clipped as it was shown live on Impact! TV. The audience is WAY into the match and this helps bring an already great match to the next level! The beginning has some fine chain and counter move wrestling between the two. The Fallen Angle lands an incredible "Death Valley Driver" onto Sabin! A great match but needed to be longer, or shown completely. Rating - **** (10min)

4) Petey Williams(C) w/ Coach D'Amore vs AJ Styles vs Chris Sabin - A 3-Way Ultimate X Match. The first person to pull down the X-Champion Belt that is suspended above the ring becomes the X Division Champion. D'Amore interfered in the beginning of the bout, but he gets tossed from the ringside by the referee. This is a frickin' GREAT match! Three of the best wrestlers in the world put on a true clinic! The crowd is bonkers over this match, and chants of "Holy Sh*t!" and "This is awesome!" fill the arena! You'll be chanting the same thing after seeing this one! Petey lands an incredible "Canadian Destroyer" on AJ! You also have to see the hurricanrata Petey does! Awesome! The ending is lame, but it doesn't ruin the fantastic performance these three men put on. Rating - ***** (20min)

5) AJ Styles(C) vs Christopher Daniels - 30 Minute Iron Man Match. The wrestler that gets the most pins or submissions on the other in 30 minutes wins and is the X Division Champion. This is the first meeting between these two and they put on one of the best (if not THE best) Iron Man Match ever! There is some superb chain, mat, counter-move wrestling in the beginning. The action does not subside for a second. AJ bleeds a river and The Fallen Angel revels in AJ's blood! The best match on the disc! Words can not do justice to the greatness of the performance of these two wrestlers. Watch this and become a TNA fan for life (or a AJ/Daniels fan for life)! Fantastic!
Rating - ***** (33min. That's right, 33 minutes. Just WATCH IT ALREADY!)

Disc Two:
1) AJ Styles(C) vs Primetime vs Christopher Daniels vs Ron Killings - Ultimate X (Endurance) Match. The match begins as a tag-team match with AJ and Killings vs Daniels and Primetime. The first person pinned is eliminated and the match then becomes a Triple Threat Match. After the next wrestler is pinned, the match becomes a Ultimate X Match between the final two for the X Division Championship. This is another GREAT match! Primetime lands an incredible "Sudden Death" power-slam on Killings. The Fallen Angel does an awe inspiring Moonsault! Best Moonsault Ever baby! The ending is lame but the match as a whole is tremendous! F'n great! Rating - ***** (25min 30sec)

2) Chris Sabin vs Matt Bentley w/ Trinity vs Sonjay Dutt vs The Shocker - Iron Cage Xscape Match. The match begins as a 4-way tag match until two men are pinned. The match then has to be won between the final two by being the first to climb over the cage and reach the outside floor. There is some terrific group wrestling and spots. Trinity does the craziest moonsault you will EVER see! Trinity's spot makes this match!
Rating - **** (16min)

Pre-match interview with Jerry Lynn done by Shane Douglas. Jerry is the special referee for the following match:
3) AJ Styles vs Sean Waltman (better known as XPac in the WWE) -
This is another superb, excellent match! Sean is a tremendous performer and his in-ring psychology is fantastic! AJ gets his nose and mouth busted open big time by Sean when Sean does a top-rope back flip to the outside of the ring onto AJ! This is a classic! Sean gets the crowd stirred into a frenzy! Great! Rating - ***** (15min)

4) Chris Sabin vs Samoa Joe - This is a pretty decent match. Samoa Joe is the Samoan Submission Machine and there is good reason for it! He is frickin' incredible! Sabin fights his heart out! Rating - **** (14min)

There is then a 20 minute "shoot" interview with Jerry Lynn as he talks about his career and other wrestlers and organizations. A nice addition and informative interview.

Bonus Matches:
1) Amazing Red vs Chris Sabin vs Kid Kash vs Alex Shelley vs Frankie Kazarian vs AJ Styles - 6-Way Impact! Match to be the #1 X Division Contender. This match is clipped as it was shown on Impact TV. An OK match. Nothing special. Rating - *** (6min)

2) Triple X (Christopher Daniels & Primetime) vs Amazing Red & Sonjay Dutt. Impact! Tag Team Match. This is clipped as it was shown on Impact! TV. Nothing special about this one either. Rating - **1/2 (6min)

Beware! The back of this disc says that there is a match between AJ Styles and Johnny Devine, as well as a SECOND 3-Way Ultimate X Match between AJ,Sabin and Petey Williams, BUT these ARE NOT on the disc! At least I could not locate them on the disc. What's up with that? Come on TNA. If you want to gain more fans and a bigger audience, you have to be MUCH better with your editing and quality control! There is NO reason to have a such a blatent F-Up! Also, the disc packaging is very cheap. The plastic disc holders break easily and there is no inside booklet or table of contents. I expect MUCH better as far as qualtiy and editing is concerned with any future DVDs.
Overall, the matches on the disc are great. You WILL become a fan of TNA after seeing this! Beware WWE!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome TNA DVD, December 29, 2005
A Kid's Review
This review is from: TNA Wrestling: The Best of the X Division Volume 1 (DVD)
I really enjoyed this DVD,some matches I liked were:

Petey Williams vs AJ Styles- This one was good in my opinion,could''ve been better if there wasn't any interference. Nice destroyer by Petey at the end
8/10

Ultimate X match

Petey Williams vs AJ Styles vs Chris Sabin- WOW!! Very awesome match!At some points it was like anybodys game!My favorite part was when Sabin drop kicked AJ while AJ was on the cables. The crowd chants "This is awesome!"and I have to agree.Ending is not what i would expect,once again, very awesome match. 10/10

Iron Man Match

AJ styles vs Christopher Daniels- I liked this match also,AJ bleeds a lot and this match had to go to sudden death and AJ wins! 10/10

Ultimate X match 2

AJ Styles vs Primetime vs Christopher Daniels vs Killings-

It started as a tag match then went to a 3 way dance then came down to AJ Styles vs Daniels in Ultimate X, the ref gets knocked out while AJ gets the title and Daniels Angel Wings him and grabs the belt while the ref turns around so Daniels wins *coughrobbery*

9.5/10

5.0 out of 5 stars High Flying is shown at its best..., November 18, 2005
By 
the one and only "david" (I live south of Parts Unknown) - See all my reviews
This review is from: TNA Wrestling: The Best of the X Division Volume 1 (DVD)
The Best of the X-Division really is a treat to see, guys like Christopher Daniels, Chris Sabin, AJ Styles, Matt Bently, Petey Williams, Sonjay Dutt, and Samoa Joe make this division really exciting and show what high flying action really is with this great DVD set:

Victory Road Gauntlet:

Nice way to show the match, twenty men come out between one minute intervals and fight to throw all their opponents over the top rope onto the floor. Highlights include a tower of doom involving 6 or 7 guys, and great crowd interaction. Hectar Garza wins after pinning Kazarian. [The last two men had to pin each other to win.] 9/10

X-Divsion Championship
Petey Williams [Champion] vs. AJ Styles:

Sort of weird to see them fight one year later with the tide turned so that AJ is now champ. This was a great fast paced match. The Canadian Destroyer vs. The Styles Clash. Scott D'Amore interferes and allows Williams to hit the cool looking flip piledriver for the win. 8.5/10 [Should have been given a little more time]

X-Division Championship
Ultimate X Match
Petey Williams [Champion] vs. Chris Sabin vs. AJ Styles:

One of the best top three matches in this entire collection. 20 minutes of all three men using high flying moves and death defying manuevers. Cool part when Sabin kicks AJ while AJ was hanging on the cord above and Styles gets flipped over in mid air and lands with impact! Both Sabin and Williams were holding the belt when AJ jumps off the ropes and grabs the belt from their hands to get the win. 10/10

X-Division Championship
30 Minute Iron Man Match
Christopher Daniels vs. AJ Styles [Champion]:

Great technical battle, both men work so well together. The action was a wrestling clinic and the first pin went to Daniels after 10 minutes went by. Styles then gets a pin and so did Daniels again as the time went by. Then at the last second AJ ties the score and doesn't submit as Daniels desperately tries to make him tap out. The match then goes to sudden death and AJ gets the pin. 10/10

Six Sides of Steel X-Scape Match
Chris Sabin vs. Shocker vs. Matt Bently vs. Sonjay Dutt:

Pretty unique match. The first two men who were pinned were eliminated, then the last two would have to escape the cage. The match was fast paced and all guys took punishment with the cage. Trinity [who accompained Bently to the ring] climbs the cage and moonsaults off the top onto all the men! Sonjay is the first to go, then Bently. Shocker and Sabin fight to escape the cage and Shocker's feet hit the ground first. 8.5/10

X-Division Championship
Ultimate X Match
AJ Stlyes [Champion] vs. Elix Skipper vs. Ron Killings vs. Christopher Daniels:

Another unique match as the first two matches were a tag team match and then a triple threat match after one of the men was pinned. The last two men standing would climb to grab the belt. Killings is the first to go thanks to Skipper, then Daniels climbs to the top of the X and moonsaults onto both other men!

Skipper is the next to go after Daniels turns on him and rolls him up for the pin. After that both Aj and Daniels fight with some high flying moves as they grab at the belt. The ref is knocked down and AJ pulls down the belt. But Daniels hits the Angel's wings and steals the win! 9/10 [Smart ending]

Chris Sabin vs. Samoa Joe:

Strength and power meets speed and agility as Samoa Joe used big man moves against the speedy Sabin. Highlights include Sabin using drop kicks onto Joe on the outside and Joe hits the railing with impact! Sabin repeatedly tries to hit the Cradle shock but Samoa Joe powers out and hits an incredibly painful looking musclebuster onto Sabin and puts him in a submission move and Sabin passes out. 9.5/10

There are more matches, but these are the best ones in my opinion. The other matches are:

AJ Styles vs. Sean Waltman [Special ref. Jerry Lynn]

Christopher Daniels vs. Chris Sabin

and a three way match between AJ, Sabin, and Williams.

A great DVD, buy this one if you really want an A+ DVD

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS WRESTLING!!!, January 15, 2010
This review is from: TNA Wrestling: The Best of the X Division Volume 1 (DVD)
First of all, I just want to state that I am a true wrestling fan who doesn't really care which organization whether be WWE, TNA or even ROH in which I just look forward to great quality wrestling no matter who showcases it. Anyways, I am a little late in picking up this DVD recently so I have seen the majority of these matches beforehand & it reminded me why I loved watching wrestling & one of the reasons was the X-Division as I always felt this division was very similar to WCW's cruiserweight division except this division, was no limits meaning a big man like Samoa Joe can get involved in the action as well.

20 Man X Gauntlet. This was a battle royal that was very similar to the way the WWE would do it's annual Royal Rumble with the only catch being that when it's down to two wrestlers, its a regular wrestling match. This was a fun match to watch with many exciting sequences with Kaz putting on a great performance for being the longest in the match along with memorable faces like Spanky, Psichosis, La Parka, Hector Garza along with regular TNA wrestlers like Chris Sabin, Matt Bentley & Sonjay Dutt.

X-Division Champion Petey Williams vs AJ Styles. Honestly, I enjoyed their match at Genesis after this more (which is on AJ's second DVD release) as this match ended when it was just getting better but also the constant interference from Scott D. was really becoming annoying to the point that it took away from the match. Again, their Genesis match easily topped this one.

Chris Sabin vs Christopher Daniels. This match was exactly what you expected it to be & that it was non-stop action right from the opening bell with two underrated performers. The only negative thing is that this match is clipped.

Ultimate X Match: X-Division Champion Petey Williams vs AJ Styles vs Chris Sabin. This was a very special match for me since this was the first one that I saw & till this day, this match still blows me away & words really don't do it justice. One moment that really gets me is the part where Sabin springboard dropkicked Styles who was hanging from one of the ropes & flipped inside out.
(Final Resolution '05)

Iron Man Match: X-Division Champion AJ Styles vs Christopher Daniels. Before they would go on to have classic battles involving Samoa Joe, they started here in what I still consider to be my favorite encounter between these two & the match of the night of this PPV as they put on an awesome performance. Just thirty minutes of great mat-wrestling with the high-flying coming into effect many times before going into sudden death.
(Against All Odds '05)

Ultimate X Match: X-Division Champion AJ Styles vs Christopher Daniels vs Primetime vs Ron "The Truth" Killings. This was actually much different than the previous X match as this match started off as a tag team match with the person losing the fall being eliminated. Once that happens, the match becomes a triple threat & when one more person is eliminated then the X match begins. I won't give away what happens but I will say that even though this was a long match due to all of the rules, this match didn't disappoint & just like the last X match, the ending was very creative & unique.
(Destination X '05)

Ultimate Xscape Match: Mexican Shocker vs Chris Sabin vs Sonjay Dutt vs Matt Bentley. Just like the previous match, two participants needed to be eliminated in order the Xscape match to fully begin. Another great match as everyone was given a chance to shine at one point & another but the real highlight of this match was the moonsault that Trinity did off the top of the cage that got the crowd the loudest they have been throughout the match.
(LockDown '05)

AJ Styles vs Sean Waltman w/Special Referee Jerry Lynn. For those that don't know, Jerry Lynn has a history with both of these men making him the wild card in this match but he really didn't become a factor in this match. This was the best performance that I have seen from Waltman in a long time while we all know that Styles never disappoints in the ring. It wasn't a classic but a really good match to watch as both men meshed well together.
(No Surrender '05)

Samoa Joe vs Chris Sabin. This is the only Joe match on the DVD set. I remember during this time that Joe was squashing all of his opponents but this was the first that I remember seeing in which someone took the fight to Joe which is what the underrated Sabin did. A really competitive match with Sabin pulling off some offense on Joe that nobody had done during this time while Joe showed signs of his future greatness with his stiff "shootfighting" style of stiff kicks & submission holds while at the same time showing that for a man his size is still capable of moving quickly & do what the other X-Division wrestlers can do as well.
(No Surrender '05)

The final clip is an interview with Jerry Lynn in which he talks about his wrestling career, his worst injuries, favorite matches, the difference between working an independent market as opposed to a major wrestling promotion like WWE or WCW, his favorite moments (including winning the ECW Title) & what he wants to be remembered for in his career.

Overall, if you are a huge fan of cruiserweight action then this is one DVD worth going out of your way to see,
