10 Best TNA X Division Champions Ever

10. Doug Williams

Reading-born Doug Williams was a very different kind of X Division Champion to what we were used to. Eschewing high flying acrobatics in favour of technical wrestling wizardry, Williams opportunistically snuck his way into the X Division Championship by cashing in Rob Terry's Feast or Fired briefcase on Amazing Red in January 2010.

Despite winning the belt in less than chivalrous circumstances, Williams was a more than credible champion, even to the point of dominance. In fact, his first run with the title could only be stopped by the Icelandic volcano incident in 2010. He returned less than a month after this to reclaim his title by defeating Kazarian, holding it for 113 days before losing it to Jay Lethal.

Williams was different to his fellow X Division competitors, but his type of wrestler is always needed in any cruiserweight style division. Everyone loves a bruiserweight after all.
