Top 10 Things That: Should Happen In TNA Impact 2018

Hello there, so we are almost at the end of my Top 10 Wrestling themed month on my blog where i have spent hours and days and a month putting together a lot of lists for you all daily featuring top 10 champions and moments and now we look to the future with Top 10 Things That Should Happen with TNA Impact taking this one and WWE taking the final one tomorrow! 

So get ready as we embark on a trip to the future! (WARNING THIS BLOG POST WAS WRITTEN 3/11/2017  AND IS MADE FOR FUN! SCOTT IN NO WAY CLAIMS TO BE A SEER OF FUTURE EVENTS!) 

10) Aldo "Adam" Rose/Leo Kruger And Jack Swagger Joins - It’s been quite a while since we last saw these two in a major promotion, but could 2018 be the year that Impact Wrestling signs them both? 

9) Emma Joins - She has recently left WWE and everyone poured out their hearts to her but wouldn't it be something if TNA picked her up and gave her a great big push? It would turn a lot of heads for sure. 

8) Bound For Glory Uk Live PPV - It has been rumoured and teased for years and TNA did do a one night only ppv in uk but never a live one and Bound For Glory would be an epic one. Fans here in UK love TNA, TNA has proved to pull in more ratings than WWE on Uk screens and at live shows also in the past so for them to fully take advantage of it they should jump over here do a tour and live shows and end with a ppv. 

7) Ava Storie Becomes Knockout Champion - I like Ava i know we have not seen much of her this year but she has potential and she is the youngest member of the roster and she was trained by Jay Lethal so you see she has potential and give her the chance and i am sure she will give a good run. 

6) Up the rating - By this i mean they should get to perhaps ages 15/16 plus again because back in their hay day Impact was dominated with a mature older fanbase who were hardcore and very lively, the wrestlers there could benefit more from being able to be as uncensored as they would like to be and the matches could be nonstop action once again. 

5) The X-Division Take Over - I'd like a huge push once again for the X-division. Let's push aside simple matches and give them more different match styles. X division is no nonsense, high flying, risk taking and it should go back to the "it's not about weight limits its about no limits" moniker. So let's get some new guys in all different weights and what not and as long as they can go, take risks and bring us more unique styles and matches i think the division will really take off more. Let's have more ultimate x's, ladder matches, falls count anywhere and hell asylum matches even just go nuts and give us some spectacular spots, moves, wrestlers and matches! Maybe to kick this X division revolution off we have the X division being fed up of being shunned and pushed aside while the tag division and heavyweights get more screen time and what not. 

4) VOW Vs OVE Tag Title Fued - I'd like this to happen but i would like it to be shown fairly as in it's not a squash because VOW is two big army vets compared to the x division look on the brothers of OVE. I think they could have an entertaining fued with titles swapping hands now and then in a bunch of matches between the two teams but it has to be done right! 

3) Andrew Everrett Vs Desmond Xavier X division championship Feud - These two are my favourite x division stars so i hope they both get a push win the title and give us a hell of a feud leading to one becoming the leader in the x division take over i mentioned. 

2) Bram V Ec3 Impact Grand Championship Feud - I'd love to see these two fued for the grand title and have Bram win it as i really like both stars and think they could elevate this title more. 

1) James Storm Becomes TNA World Heavyweight Champion Again With A Longer Reign! - James deserves to have a full run with the title a longer one than his last, he deserves it! I think leading to a run with this title he should also win the Grand Championship. Perhaps he joins forces with Grado as the two may seem unusual pair but it would work trust me. Grado and Storm are friends the two drink enjoy their selves have fun, give us some entertaining tv moments and perhaps they run into the grand champ in a bar and the grand champ pushes Grado into Storm causes him to spill a drink onto the back of Storm and Storm thinks this is just disrespect from Grado and causes a bit of tension but ultimately the two make up continue drinking and then comes the grand champ again but this time rubs being a champ into Storms face saying "You could never hold onto a singles title for long, the only title you have ever held onto longer than a beer bottle is a plastic made up drinking title thats fit for an alcoholic no good redneck" and slaps the bottle out of James Storm's hand causing Storm to flip out hitting the grand champ at that time. With Grado and plenty of Storm's "drinking water" in hand Storm wins the grand title only to lose it in a rematch at the next ppv because he stops to have a drink from grado and starts to drink and suddenly gets rolled up and pinned and loses the title in a shocking fashion upset. He gets a rematch but this time loses it again due to a beer bottle being smashed over Storms head. Storm flips out beating up the ref, tearing up turnbuckles with him also beating up security and others and we have Grado enter the ring with some whiskey and it calms down Storm having them leave the ring. Cut to Storm a few weeks later heavily drinking and Grado finds him and stops him from drinking or tries to an it angers storm causing them to fued and have Grado constantly say Storm is an alcoholic and its why he never holds onto single titles for long and Grado wants to help James as a friend to friend. James and Grado have a hell of a match with Grado suffering heavily with blood pouring and smashed bottles but Grado keeps on fightin in a last man standing match, since Grado said he could out stand James and James would lose easily due to his drinking problems. James is angry as Grado wont stay on the mat. James grabs a third beer bottle to smash over Grado but his hand starts to shake. Grado is on his knees exhausted covered in blood yelling to James to do it but James just stops and drops the bottle and just lays down and tell's the ref to count and the ref gets to 10 and raises Grado's hand in the air and declares him the winner. Grado gets up and goes over to Storm and offers his hand which Storm accepts and says to him "Help me..." to which Grado nods his head and Storm and Grado hug and they both leave the ring. Storm goes off tv for few weeks as Grado helps him fight against his addiction. We get updates every now and then Storm struggling. Month or two passes the current world champ say's he's beaten everyone there is to beat and issues an open challenge to all those who have not challenged the champ. Suddenly in comes Grado who say's he has not beat Grado but it's not Grado's time and instead has a better challenger in mind and out comes James Storm to a pop looking happy and really excited and the match kicks off at BFG 2018. James Storm is looking shaky as he is getting beat until a distraction from Grado has Storm on the rebound and he clotheslines the champ to the outside but Storm seems tired. Grado sees this and how Storm is struggling and gets in the ring to check on him. Grado exits the ring to go under the ring skirt to grab a bottle of beer and hands it to Storm which Storm reluctantly accepts and drinks it and it fires Storm up who goes back on the attack to the champ eventually super kicking his way to win the TNA World Championship title. 

 Well this has been a lot of fun and killed a few hours for me, so thanks for reading this list! 

Let me know your thoughts on it and come back tomorrow for more. STAY SHINY!

Top 10 TNA X Division Champions

Get ready to fly, as we enter the high flying risk taking and ground breaking x division stars and ten champions! 15 years ago the title was born and it's gone through a lot of designs and changes over the years but who are the top 10 champs?

10) Amazing Red - Once upon a time, the wrestling world was convinced that Amazing Red was going to be the new Rey Mysterio. Red won the TNA X Division Championship on three occasions, and he always carried the title with grace. His reigns weren't all that memorable, but he was unique in that he was a plucky underdog that was more than capable of getting everything done without relying solely on heart. Red's first X Division Championship run started in April 2003 when he dethroned the notoriously grumpy Kid Kash for the title, but he would hold the belt for just two weeks before dropping it to Chris Sabin. It would be a whole six years before he would hold the gold again, shocking the world in 2009 by defeating Samoa Joe, of all people, for the belt. Red's third and final reign came and went in the blink of an eye, as he picked up the strap from Jay Lethal at a live event in 2010 before losing it back to Lethal just two days later.

9) Petey Williams - Williams was the first man to give the X Division Championship something approaching a true identity in many ways. Having a finishing move as brutal as the Canadian Destroyer certainly helped and it helped both him, title and division out but sadly he only held the title two time but maybe when this list comes out he wins it again for now this list was done a month in advance so who knows.

8) Daniels - Make no mistake about it: Christopher Daniels is the most underrated professional wrestler in TNA's history and a 4 time x division champion. Heck, when all is said and done he will surely go down as one of the best never to perform in WWE. He was the glue in the rivalry which fuelled the famous unbreakable triple threat match between Joe, Aj and Daniels. 

7) Kaz - Kazarian has always been a fine hand in the ring, a credible opponent for anyone, and also an individual who works well regardless of their alignment, as comfortable as a face as they are a heel. Despite this, there always just seemed to be something missing with Kaz. He won the title five times but never had a career-defining run with the belt. Kazarian was never far away from the title picture and do not underestimate him or his reigns as champ. 

6) Low Ki/Senshi - I believe this was the guy who was champ when i first tuned into TNA all those years ago funny enough and he was the second tna x division champion. Low ki has legit been one of the best wrestlers outside wwe in the 21st century. He has won the x division championship five times and most of his title reigns were memorable. Guys like low ki and Aj styles made it a point to showcase the best wrestling on every ppv they were involved in. That concept still holds true in 2017 as his x division title match with sonjay dutt at slamiversary was the best match of the night. Personally, I like low ki cos of his adaptability. He wrestles a more mma style when wrestling against someone like Samoa Joe, a more technical style when he is wrestling someone like Austin Aries and a more highflying style when wrestling against someone like the amazing red. As good as he is, I think he is hugely underrated and deserves to be mentioned on the same plane as the AJ styles and Samoa joes of the world.

5) Samoa Joe - The X Division was long considered a division characterised by its total lack of limit and restrictions, and no champion embodied this more than the Samoan Submission Machine, Samoa Joe. Joe was undefeated for ages after arriving in TNA in 2005, and it was in this same year that the X Division reached its peak thanks to the feud over the title that involved Joe, Christopher Daniels, and AJ Styles. 91 days after one of the greatest matches in TNA history (a 3-way with Daniels and Styles at Unbreakable), Samoa Joe won the X Division Championship for the first time by defeating AJ at Turning Point. Coincidentally, he would hold the title for 91 days himself, before losing it to Christopher Daniels in an Ultimate X match involving,  AJ Styles.

4) Jay Lethal - When Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair came in to the company in 2010 it seemed as though they took a shine to Black Machismo, and Lethal found himself in a number of marquee matches against some of the biggest names in the company. Lethal was an X Division Champion a long time before 2010 however, with his first title win coming in 2007 at Slammiversary. Lethal would go on to have six total reigns as champ, although three of those came in 2010 alone. Lethal’s constant caricature of Macho Man Randy Savage helped propel him and he even got his own Miss Elizabeth in the form of SoCal Val. Whenever Lethal was on TV, you know you were going to be entertained and after he moved on from ‘Black Machismo’ he became Ric Flair! One of the best segments in TNA history features Jay Lethal mimicking Ric Flair right to his face. A six-time X Division champion, Lethal could’ve been much more for TNA, but was still a terrific champion for the Division.

3) Aj Styles - AJ was the very first X Division Champion, overcoming Jerry Lynn, Psicosis, and Low-Ki at the second weekly TNA PPV to win the championship. He would go on to win the belt six times in total (joint second highest), with his reigns covering a total of 272 days. He is phenomenal and regarded a pioneer in the x division and i hope he gets more success in wwe. 

2) Austin Aires - Austin Aries has won the TNA X Division Championship on six different occasions, holding the belt for a cumulative 362 days. This puts him second on the all-time list for days as champion. Five of his reigns only amount to 61 days however, and it his first record-breaking reign that leads to the Greatest Man That Ever Lived featuring here at number four. On 11 September 2011, Austin Aries defeated Brian Kendrick at No Surrender to win the title for the very first time. He would go on to hold the belt for an impressive 301 days, far and away the longest individual reign in the history of the belt. To put that into perspective, no other reign lasted more than 199 days. Aries didn't even lose the belt. Instead, he cashed it in when TNA introduced 'Option C' in 2012, and he went on to defeat Bobby Roode for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship at Destination X. Aries had a second chance with Option C in 2014, but came up short that year against Lashley. I hope since his WWE release he can return to TNA soon. 

1) Chris Sabin - No one has held the X Division more times or for longer than Chris Sabin. Sabin won the title no less than eight times, the first of which came way back in 2003 when he won a 3 way dance that also included then champion Amazing Red and Jerry Lynn. Interestingly enough, Sabin's won many titles from the 3 way dance or triple threat matches.  Sabin's perhaps finest moment with the X Division Championship came in 2013, however. After winning the title in yet another 3-way, Sabin instantly cashed it in for a shot at then-TNA World Heavyweight Champion Bully Ray. Sabin went on to win the title, thanks in part to the Main Event Mafia and Aces & Eights' hammer. After losing the world title Sabin would win the X Division belt two more times, including an Ultimate X win at Bound for Glory in 2013. Along with his eight reigns and 432 days as champion, Sabin is way ahead of the pack when it comes to Ultimate X appearances as he has a record 17 appearances. 

Ok thanks for popping in, remember to come back again for more!
