May this go well and all the X competitors be hired back to TNA

So....when will they air? They're being taped Saturday but surely they're not going to show 6 hours of TNA that night on Spike are they?

I can barely sit and watch two hours, I couldn't imagine 6?!

[Shockage]

They'll be aired in the slots of the abandoned ppv, Sunday night specials

I fail to see how this could fail. I just used one word twice in the same sentence. I'm actually excited to see something from TNA for once.

Really though, the X Division was the only thing that separated TNA from the WWE and they dropped it really bad for the last several years. You have to think this almost a big tryout for a lot of these returning stars. This looks like fun.
