Chris Sabin vs. Kenny King vs. Suicide

[7.0] "Sabin made this match - with an assist by Suicide (played by the underrated TJ Perkins here) - and thank the gods that the utterly-worthless Kenny King is no longer X-Division champion. A good opener in an age where little good was happening."

[7.0] "This was a pretty good match. Chris Sabin had returned from his second ACL tear, this time in his left knee, which ironically enough happened in an Ultimate X match. This was the story of Sabin returning from injury to win the X-Division Championship, which was held by Kenny King. This really should have been a singles match, but TNA had a dumb rule around this time that all X-Division title matches would be three way matches, so they had to stick someone in there and they ended up making it an Ultimate X match. Suicide was played by TJ Perkins, who was a great choice as he was the masked wrestler Puma before this on top of being a great wrestler. This was a relatively safe Ultimate X match with no over the top dangerous spots, but it had good wrestling from all 3 men. Somewhere Sabin got busted open from the side of his head and started bleeding. Sabin did win the match, and with Hulk Hogan coming out and announcing it, had a chance to use Option C to earn himself a TNA Championship match. ***1/2"

[7.0] "Not the best Ultimate X you'll ever see - we've seen crazier ones - but clearly a damn fun match all the same, with plenty of X-Division-style action, and it was the perfect way to start the show, given how invested the crowd was. They were loud for Sabin and making him win the title was the best possible decision, a superb feel good moment by way of opener after a very fun match."

[7.0] "Fun ultimate match. Not the best one by any means, but still enjoyable. Every guy got their shit in and gave us some fun spots."

[7.0] "A very fun and fast-paced ultimate x match. All three men had their moment to shine and I liked the finish."

[7.0] "Nice X Division match. Good spots, nice moves and a good end. The speed was the main character of the match, something that I haven't seen since Aries."
