Crazy I know? - TNA sent out a Mobile Alert this afternoon announcing that a "Feast or Fired" battle royal match has been added to the 12/2 Turning Point pay-per-view. The match will result in one member of the TNA roster being fired and three title shots will be awarded to various winners of the match. The match will feature four briefcases,one in each corner with three of them containing the various title shots and the other containing a pink slip. btw: I did do a search and find a brief mention in the Tna News and Notes thread, but not much going on in there, and I thought this one bit of information deserves it's own discussion. First off a battle royale where they're stuff on a pole and you lose even if you're one of the winners? 3 title shots? Does another one guy get to win a tag team title shot? What a crappy name, Feast or be fired? Feast on what? I don't want to feast on anything that involves a huge ass orgy of sweaty ass half naked dudes in a six sided ring. And thanksgiving should be over by then. another side note: I'm not angrily ranting or anything, I just love to overexaggeratingly mock things, and point out silly things like that. TNA is okay.

I like the random terrible gimmick matches of TNA personally. Like a train wreck I can't look away.
Once in a blue moon the match itself is ok too.

It has potential, but needs a little work. It will garner some fan interest in that the fans will be interested to see who can grab the cases, and then what each case will hold (and who will be fired). It's Deal or No Deal, TNA-style.
Please, Black Reign, grab the case with the pink slip!

Isn't this just a reincarnation of the San Francisco 49er Match?

Isn't this just a reincarnation of the San Francisco 49er Match? Basically....I just want to see Shelly get any of the titleshots...And how much irony would it be if Eric Young got the pinkslip. Did I say Irony? I mean awesomeness.

Isn't this just a reincarnation of the San Francisco 49er Match? I'd mark if they kept it consistent and had a portrait of Scott Hall inside one of the briefcases. EDIT: I'd mark even more if Scott Hall ended up being the one to open that briefcase.

I'm guessing it means they feast on the title belts.

I will push to have the moderators permaban anyone who insinuates, implies, or states that they like this idea.

If I had a nickel for every gimmick match that sounded stupid on paper and were ok/good in execution, I'd have a lot of nickels.

Money in the Bank anyone?
It's pretty much the same damn thing with a little twist, nothing to get epileptic about.

Okay, now I'm normally the last person to give a kneejerk "This is Russo's idea" reaction, but COME ON!!!!!!! IT'S GOT FOUR THINGS ON POLLS!!!!!!! If this isn't a Russo brainchild, I'll let Bubba Ray Dudley kick me in the balls.

If this isn't a Russo brainchild, I'll let Bubba Ray Dudley kick me in the balls. Who said there was poles? All it said that there was 4 cases in the corner. Sure it could be a pole, like in the 49ers match, but it can also be on the floor waiting in the corner, like a Glen Gilbertti/Sonny Siaki match in the weekly PPVs. Hell. it could be on the turnbuckles for all we know. It doesn't specify, just like it doesn't specify contestants. Plus, not like Russo was the only guy to use poles. It's been done before Russo, done after him, and will be done when he's booking matches in heaven. A lot of southern guys did it, and there are a lot of souther guys on creative...

Yeah, but nobody has ever booked poles more consistently than Russo. During the Russo era in WCW, you'd see at least a half dozen "on a pole" matches a month. It's pretty much his signature, aside from "the big "surprising" super swerve".

Maybe it'll be an Ultimate X type deal except with 4 briefcases instead of an X or Title Belt.
