10 Worst TNA X Division Champions Ever

10. Eric Young

This is less for the man holding the belt and more for the reign, but Eric Young's X Division Championship reign in 2008 lasted all of zero days.

The division was thinner than thin at the time, with Sheik Abdul Bashir the champion and not many challengers outside of crazy ol' Eric Young. This amounted to a number of X Division matches that didn't feature any real excitement, just two smaller guys working a heavyweight style.

EY won the title at Final Resolution in 2008 after some heavy-handed assistance from the referee, and subsequently had it ripped from his hands by Jim Cornette just moments later. Young didn't make it into the final of the tournament held to establish a new champion, and never really came close to winning the title again.

A great talent, but a poor X Division Champion.
