Petey Williams On What’s Wrong With The IMPACT Wrestling X-Division

In this day and age in the wrestling world it seems that just about every wrestler is wrestling this high flying style which made the X-Division literally. When TNA first opened it’s doors in 2002, it was built around the X-Division.

So what is the X-Division exactly? The X-Division is a division that is not defined by a weight limit which mean anyone was eligible to be apart of the division. Many wrestlers apart the division works a flashy and and high flying style which made the divison a success and the misted watched match of the night during TNA’s heyday. Fast forward to 2018 and it seems like an any match you watch wrestlers are doing this high risk, high flying, and flashy moves to gain the attention of the crowd and the wrestling.

Impact Wrestling star Petey Williams was recently interviewed by Interactive Wrestling Radio. Petey stated wrestling is changing so everyone can work the X style now:

“He (Austin Aries) did present the problem. But what’s the solution? Right? If you look at every single company now, heavyweight, light heavyweight. That’s the style now! What’s the next evolution? Do we go out there and just perform a stunt show gymnastics type thing? That’s not professional wrestling! So, yeah, he (Aries) presented the problem. But, what can it (the X Division) do to redefine itself? I don’t have the answer for that. If u did, I’d be pitching it and trying to make it happen!”

Petey also talks about other topics such as the recent changes in Impact Wrestling and Scott Steiner’s odds of him winning the title again. To listen to the whole interview below:

In my opinion I agree 100% with Petey you can turn on a wrestling show or go to a wrestling event without seeing a wrestler doing high risk or high flying maneuvers. This is what made the X-Division so special and now that everyone is working the “X Style” there is nothing to make the division stand out and make them special.
