Chris Sabin talked about his desires for the X-Division in the revamped TNA Wrestling and some names that he wants to see get signed to the promotion.
Chris Sabin is one of the names synonymous with all eras of TNA/IMPACT Wrestling. The most winningest X-Division champion of all time, Sabin is the current champion of TNA Wrestling's signature division.
In a new interview with the Battleground Podcast, Sabin spoke about what he would like to see from the division upon IMPACT reverting back to the TNA Wrestling name in January 2024.
"Well, I mean, I think the X-Division is basically what made TNA stick out, especially back in the day, that was like the flagship division of the company," he said. "If you wanted to compare TNA to some other company, 'What do they have that this other company doesn't have?' Well, there's the X-Division. It's kind of been ill-defined. They say, 'It's not about weight limits, it's about no limits.'. It's kind of been considered a cruiserweight division, but there's been heavyweights that have won the X-Division Championship, so you couldn't really say that.
"I just want the X-Division to get back to the heights that it was at when it was the flagship main division in the promotion," he added. "I would love to bring in a lot of new guys, especially guys on the independents, that deserve a shot. I would love to have a run where I continue wrestling all of these new guys that deserve a shot and eventually, we'll discover a talent that's worth investing in and then we can hire that guy. The X-Division has been about making new stars and I think, hopefully, I can use that as a tool to help IMPACT/TNA discover new talent and possibly hire them.
Talking about names that he would like to see during the promotion, he singled out Judas Icarus and Titus Alexander.
"Man, there's, there's a lot of guys. Judas Icarus. He's a guy that I wrestled recently for Prestige, I think he's amazing, amazingly talented, very unique. It's not easy to stand out and be unique in wrestling nowadays, and he's done that on the independent level, and I think that's pretty amazing. He has a partner, Travis [Williams]. They wrestled Alex Shelley and I about a month ago, for Prestige also, I think he is really good," said Sabin."Titus Alexander is another one. I wrestled him several months ago for West Coast Pro and I think he's very talented. There's other ones that I can't think of right now, I just got back from Mexico yesterday and I'm still recovering. So, I apologize, but those guys for sure."
Chris Sabin does not have an opponent yet for the first show of the new era of TNA Wrestling, TNA Hard To Kill, but Alex Shelly will be defending the TNA World Title against Moose. Fans can check out the full card here.
