The Wrestling Observer had an interesting poll with fascinating results regarding Austin Aries and whether or not the current TNA / Impact Wrestling X Division Champion should vacate his X Division Title for a shot at Bobby Roode’s TNA World Heavyweight Championship Belt.
The question and results of the Observer poll were:
“Should TNA have Austin Aries vacate the X title?
No, even if belts mean nothing, the goal should be too make them mean something 64.1%
No, it makes the X division belt a joke 18.0%
Yes, belts mean nothing so it doesn’t matter 10.9%
Yes, a one week tease is more important than a title reign these days 7.1%”
CB’s Slant: On one hand, Aries refusing to vacate the X Division Championship would really make the belt seem like it’s more meaningful and important. At the same time, the powers that be in TNA probably think the X title means nothing and will likely have Double A decide to go after Roode as a way for them to take the “lesser” belt (in their eyes) off of him so he can have a crack at the “big-time”.
