Since people talk about who raised the briefcase on Austin and who attempted to kill Vinnie, I had a question I wanted to ask about TNA that never got answered for me.
Who was X?
See, back in 2004 (I think) a guy debuted into the X-Division who actually was a damn fine worker. He was huge in mass and could move so damn well, he was actually worth watching. He was pretty much a big part of the X-Division with noone knowing who he was.
Then, just as things got interesting, TWC lost the rights to TNA to Bravo. Which also means Old TNA events can't be shown on there.
So does anyone know who X was? Or was it like the other great mysteries of wrestling and one we'll never know?

It was Pierre Oulette aka Jean Pierre LaFitte/Quebecer Pierre from the WWF/WCW. He dropped alot of weight and seemed like he was ready to take over for awhile, not sure why he didnt exactly.

Like I said, I thought the guy was amazing just because of how he moved. Seriously, I expected him to get the belt at some point. I just wondered what happened to him.
Edit: Thanks for the link, ohmygod.

That's what I like about this forum.... I learn something new every day! I honestly had no idea that Pierre was in TNA, let alone excelling in the X-Division! I'm not surprised though, since he always was actually a good wrestler. I remember when he was in WWE as Jean Pierre Lafitte, he had a really cool finisher called the Cannonball which was a top rope somersault splash thing. I was impressed cause he was kind of a big guy too, and he could still do that.

Odd fact
He really does only have one eye. The other is a prosthetic eye.

He looks better now then he ever did in the WWE. The man lost a lot of weight and got ripped. A guy with his ablity for his size. i'm surpised he hasn't become bigger then he did. Because with Vince liking big guys and he was pretty good size and plus he can move. Why he never became a bigger player I don't know.
