[edit] History
TNA originally released a DVD entitled "The Best of the X Division, Vol. 1" in 2004, which showcased matches from their days in Nashville, Tennessee.
However, once TNA moved to Orlando they began to largely ignore their past video library.
They did the same thing with their Best of The Bloodiest Brawls series.
On October 4, 2005, TNA released the first DVD in its new "Best of The X Division" series.
