You know, this match might have worked better in the old days when there were 3 titles and and a 4-sided ring, but know there are 4 title and 6 sides.
Therefore my suggestions for improvement would be: -Include the three title shot and one pink slip briefcases -Let all the other Knockouts compete in the match -Include the Woman's Title shot in a fifth briefcase (if a male grabs it, he may give the shot to a Knockout of his choice or compete for the title in drag) -The final briefcase can contain any of these two: a. Another tag title shot, creating a makeshift tag team to compete b. A chance to be the special referee for any of the title matches the others just won

Man, there is no need for this. Since the show went to 2 hours they have for the mostpart, went back to wrestling and (imo) the product has improved greatly. Things like this just spell wcw 2000.

I like the Feast or Famine/Fired idea.
Hasn't wrestling ALWAYS been about desperate men resorting to desperate measures to put themselves in position to compete for and win titles, because titles represent wealth and prestige? This match concept is the simplistic human concept of high risk/high reward. People gamble in real life, people make drastic decisions. It's not really that ridiculous, nor anymore ridiculous than Money in the Bank, or a typical ladder match.
Then again, seems like the same few people seem to flame/complicate just about any TNA idea, no matter how simple it is. Plus the "on a pole" jokes never, EVER get tired.

Hmm...
nope. Sorry, but no. Didn't we already have a "4 items on a pole" thing less than a calendar year ago in TNA? If I recall something about weapons of choice for a Six Sides of Steel Match?
This is just Russian Roulette meets MITB without ladders.
And just because it decides all the title shots doesn't make it a good idea. Like that time they had all the titles on the line in one match.
Or that time they had the world title on the line in a tag match
Or that OTHER time they had the world title on the line in a tag match.
OR that time the World Title wasn't defended on PPV...ok that hasn't happened yet but in 3 weeks it will have.
Granted I've pointed out just booking problems, sure there's some good in TNA still, but uh...this ain't it, folks.
EDIT: AND WHY IS THERE ANOTHER NIGHT OF 10000 TACKS MATCH?

Wouldn't it be in your best interest to just let the other people get the briefcases and just wait for a fair shot at getting a title match?

Havn't finished reading the thread, but have to comment on the original post.
See, this is why TNA makes me angry. When I come up with something off the wall and strange, people ask to buy drugs from me, and do the whole smile and nod bit that you do with crazy people or small children.
TNA does the same thing, and people PAY for it? The hell is this? Where's my money?
Far as the match itself...I don't see how this can be anything short of a glorious clusterf***. Better make sure someone doesn't get their bearings crossed up and grab the wrong briefcase, eh guys?

For the next battle royal, it shall be a reverse one, but you must be able to see the sailboat in the Magic Eye puzzle, and finish a Sudoku to enter the ring.
No, you may not cheat at the Sudoku by flipping to the back of the book.

Or even if you're a midcarder like say, Chris Harris. You're not gonna get a TNA World Title shot any other way. Like I said pages back, the people in this match obviously would all have decided that they think it's worth the gamble to get a title shot. I'd imagine the combatants will be mostly the midcard, people who are trying to "break through" so to speak. That said, if like Sting, Joe, Christian, etc are in this, THEN that's stupid booking. Though I think Christian they could possibly justify being in it since he's so obsessed with the title and feels no one else but him even deserves a chance at a shot.

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. let the truth be told!

OR that time the World Title wasn't defended on PPV...ok that hasn't happened yet but in 3 weeks it will have. What's the big deal with that? Dude, hate to tell you, but it's happened loads of times before, like the first Turning Point,every Lockdown, Sacrifice 05, and a few others I might have forgotten. Hell, WWE did the same thing for the last 2 Armageddons. I bet ROH did the same thing too once or twice. Big Deal.

So many of TNA's ideas have looked like absolute crap on paper, but then actually ended well. I'm beginning to think TNA does their best work when they have only have bad premises and ideas to work with.

Damn, what was so bad about that? We got Austin Aries debuting against Daniels, a great X match in Joe vs AJ, The Hoyterminator, and a lot of good matches in the middle of the fabled glory days of TNA, before Russo came in and messed everything up with his poles and his gimmicks and his black hair.
