I hate this Reverse Ladder Match...

[Corporate H]

Boy is the King of the Mountain match a stupid idea. What a stupid ending too. I'm going to put this title on the hook and then take it back off...yeah, had to say it.

[KingPopper]

it's a stupid match, also TNA didnt even list the rules for new viewers, and the new commentary is ackward.

TNA's commentary is my main gripe with the show. It takes me away from the action the way they over explain what is going on. The penalty box is a bad idea as well. Oh yeah, like in the middle of a heated fight I'm really going to abide by the rules and lock myself into a penalty box. Geez...you're killin' me here.

[Ultimate Reality]

Yeah, that was pretty bad. Hopefully the new gimmick......I mean concept match isn't quite as asinine.

[Big Daddy Bad Booking]

Srupidest...match.....ever.

I called it a Reverse Ladder Match from Day 1 and no one agreed with me. Then the Revese Battle Royal happened and I joked about them having a Reverse Ladder Match next and then said "oh wait..."

[Rob Scorpio, 2 time BCW Champ]

I have to agree. King of the Mountain is lame. It's like having sex with a doorknob. Really complicated, not very enjoyable, and when it's over, you just feel disappointed.

[-Lithium-]

They seriously just need to make it a 5 or 6 way TLC or whatever. Its so much more dramtic and cooler and kinda symbolic when someone takes DOWN the title...

and you'd know this how?

The stipulations are really lame but the match always turns out surprisingly better than I expect it to. But still...really, really lame stipulations.

I consider a reverse ladder match to be when wrestlers have to burrow into the ground to retrieve the belt.

[Arturo Classico]

Well it is inventive. I don't mind matches that try new things and fail. It's trying old things that fail that piss me off! Mark my words Elevation X will suck! Scaffold matches always do.

I'm waiting for the reverse Last Man Standing match, where you try to keep your opponent on his feet while you try to stay down for a 10 count to win the match.

Hahaha, nice.

Maybe that's what AJ Styles thought the rules were when he faced Rhino.

Or climb down ladders in a lode-runner esque maze to get it.

[EvilMasterBetty, Esq.]

While I do think the rules are a bit convoluted, it can provide for some interesting booking if done right.

I mean, you could, theoretically, have someone purposely get eliminated if it meant being locked in the cage with the other guy for 2 minutes so he could beat the crap out of him. Unless they're not allowed to fight in there, in which case that's just stupid.

I'm not one of the TNA whiners. But the king of the mountian is the terry funking stupidest match on the planet.

A guy gets pinned after three minutes of wrestling, then no sells it by getting straight up and going to the penalty box.

And where the hell does the title go when someones not trying to hang it?

And what does a penalty box have to do with mountains?

Making a lumberjack match, where the lumbers jacks job is to keep you out of the ring, and when you get pinned you have to sink 5 free throws, would make just as much sense.

[A Platypus Rave is Correct]

I've always hated this gimmick as well. Thats all I have to add... as everything that needed to be stated of its stupidity has been stated.

Change those free throws to 30 points in bowling and that'd be the best gimmick match evar.
