ULTIMATE X MATCH FOR AN X DIVISION TITLE SHOT: Suicide vs. D’Angelo Dinero vs. Daniels vs. Homicide: The return of the Ultimate X Match should also be the exit of the X Division superstars cramming themselves into one spot-fest of a match on every PPV for a future shot at the title. At this point, the TNA X Division Title means very little as Amazing Red won it in less-than-dramatic fashion against Samoa Joe, so this is an excellent time for TNA to have someone like Daniels or D’Angelo Dinero step up, win the title shot, and eventually have a meaningful program with Amazing Red to give validity back to the title. While I like the idea of D’Angelo winning, here’s the mistake I fear TNA will make with him: they’ll do what they always do with new X-Division stars. Guys like Daivari, Suicide, Jay Lethal and Consequences Creed have all been given their 15 minutes when they debuted with the company, but after a brief push, they faded away and their characters blended into the background. TNA needs to capitalize on what they have in stars like D’Angelo Dinero and Daniels, spend more time on adding depth to their characters, and put them into meaningful, long term programs for the X-Division Title. Ultimately, I’d like to see Daniels win this one, but I feel like Dinero is still on minute 9 of his 15 minutes, and is the direction TNA wants to go in for now.
Nick’s Pick: Daniels
Who Will Win: D’Angelo Dinero
