TNA The Best of the X-Division Twin-Pack: Volumes 1 & 2 Review

Some of the greatest X-Division stars battle it out on this big "Best of" Set!

For this DVD Twin-Pack, I'm going to review both Volume 1 and Volume 2 separately, then do an overall reflection on the set as a whole. Also, since this is a Twin-Pack, I won't really talk about the individual matches, just the disk as a whole.

This is actually a very good disk. You get a lot of great matches on here that really give you the taste of what the X-Division is all about. Their really isn't a match on here that I'd say is skippable, other than the bonus matches, but Three Matches that go over **** and several others that are well above *** certainly makes this an enjoyable watch.

Overall: 7.5/10

Compared to Volume 1, Volume 2 just isn't as good. On the positive side, their are still a few really good matches on here, just not as many as Volume 1. Plus, the little mini-documentary at the beginning looking at the Samoa Joe/Christopher Daniels/AJ Styles feud from 2005-6 is really good. On the other hand, I think the main problem with this is that it just takes random TV matches and just throws them on there. Several Matches could have (and probably should have been) on here, but weren't for some reason's. Joe/Liger, Elimination X, any of the PPV Matches from late '05/early '06 with Joe/Daniels/AJ (Including their Ultimate X Match) and the '06 World X-Cup Stuff could have easily made this set, and it would have been a lot better.

Overall Thoughts

On the whole, I think this set is pretty good. Volume 1 is pretty great, and worth getting the Twin-Pack by itself. Volume 2 has a few good matches on it, but proves to be mostly average. As a set though, I think it works, especially if you pick it up in a sale. In the end, I'd say this was pretty enjoyable.
