Yeah, it was truly a fun time. I remember when Nash hit some spectacular top rope move (that was only seen in the reactions of the X Divison guys). THAT kind of impossibly realistic material is hilarious. Hornswoggle escaping through a hole in the wall is not.
And whoever said that WWE doesn't know how to market Nash is absolutely correct. I have to wonder why he said in interviews that he didn't care for TNA, but enjoyed his current WWE run. I guess he'll say whatever provides the bigger paycheck.

Alright, that was eerily similar to the first thing...

Nash wasn't lying though. People were more over for their moves instead of their characters (ex. Petey Williams). Yeah but burying guys trying to get over doesn't help anyone or increase business it was true though. before Nash's involvement, the X-division was basically "interchangeable flippy guys who are great wrestlers but get maybe 5 minutes every other week to get over". I look at what Nash and Shelley did as sort of hitting the reset button on the concept and allowing the X-div guys a chance to build up their individual personas. there isn't one guy who took part in it that it didn't help.

Who can forget Nash's legendary X division moves like "punch" and "bottom rope splash"?

The PCS is seriously one of the greatest things in wrestling history from any promotion. My god that was amazing.

there isn't one guy who took part in it that it didn't help. It really only helped Lethal get over. Shelley was already a great talker with his paparazzi character. Sonjay was just as over before he became 'The Guru'. Low Ki/Senshi stayed exactly the same. I suppose it helped Aries get some screen time, but Austin Starr was always just 'there'.

Ya, I'd say he likes the place that pays him better, and where he gets to hang with his clique buddies. He was definitely more interesting in TNA. He is better when he gets to riff and be more relaxed.

I keep saying it and saying it, the Paparazzi Productions/PCS stuff was the absolute best stuff that TNA's ever done, and the fact that a PCS DVD never materialized is a crime not just against wrestling, but all of humanity.

Best thing TNA has ever done. And honestly? I don't think it killed the division, it friggin made it. Lethal, Dutt, Shelley, Starr/Aries, and Low-Ki all got a HUGE bump from that stuff.
"Bob Backlund isn't even here!" "He's here in spirit."
"Anybody seen a big SEC Championship ring?"
AHH! SHH! PUSH UP! PUSH UP REAL GOOD!
