No individual has held the X Division more times or for longer than Chris Sabin. Sabin won the title no less than eight times, the first of which came way back in 2003 when he won a 3-way dance that also included then-champion Amazing Red and Jerry Lynn. Interestingly enough, Sabin's fourth X Division Championship win also came in a 3-way dance including Jerry Lynn, with Christopher Daniels the unfortunate dethroned champion on that occasion.

Sabin's finest moment with the X Division Championship came in 2013, however. After winning the title in yet another 3-way, Sabin instantly cashed it in for a shot at then-TNA World Heavyweight Champion Bully Ray. Sabin improbably went on to win the title, thanks in part to the Main Event Mafia and Aces & Eights' hammer.

After losing the world title Sabin would win the X Division belt two more times, including an Ultimate X win at Bound for Glory in 2013. Along with his eight reigns and 432 days as champion, Sabin is way ahead of the pack when it comes to Ultimate X appearances, his 17 being more than twice as many as the next men in the list (Christopher Daniels and Kazarian with 8).

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
