That looks cool. Can't wait to find out the rules. I might just have to get this PPV to see what this thing is all about.

I bet the belt is hung from a rope and they have to climb on top of the scaffolds to get it.

The Elevated X involves 4 treasure chests -- one in each corner. One of these chests contains a key, to be used to advance to the cage match the following week. The second chest contains wirecutters and a walkie-talkie used to calling the assistance of a SWAT team. The third chest contains a photo of Scott Hall. And the final chest contains the instructions to a backstage labyrinth which must be completed in order to win number one contendership to a title to be decided at a later time by Bob Backlund.
Sorry.... I'm still in RussoRuffic mode..... ;D

Why is there a ladder in the ring?

Shouldn't this have a Spoiler tag, at least until "This is TNA" is over?

I like it.
There's enough room on it to do stuff, and we all know that some of the X-Division guys can climb like f***in' monkeys when they need to. I'd watch it.

The structure reminds me of the giant robotic spider from the Wild Wild West movie.

Sabin/Lynn/Daniels/Senshi for the X-Division title? plz TNA plz I'd like to see three men, but no more than four, in this match. Too few and you lose out on potential spots, too many and it's a clusterf***. I'd choose Sabin, Daniels, Senshi and Alex. |

The structure reminds me of the giant robotic spider from the Wild Wild West movie. Jon Peters is working for TNA now? God, imagine if Peters produced a movie that Vince Russo wrote with Uwe Boll directing. |

This actually doesn't look like a traditional scaffold match, meaning to win someone doesn't need to fall off it. It kinda looks just like an Ultimate X Match, but with platforms leading to the suspended title instead of wires. Plus, if it was ruled like a scaffold match, there are some definite dangerous/deadly spots off the scaffold/platforms that are right over the ground, and not the ring.

Looks like the WWE ring playsets for action figures. I wonder if it has catapults.

Sorry.... I'm still in RussoRuffic mode..... ;D See, change that around a little bit, and we have the first ever "Legend of Zelda" match, which I would instantly mark out for. You want the first ever eight star match? Have Vince Russo and Shigeru Miyamoto work together to whip that baby up. |

Sorry.... I'm still in RussoRuffic mode..... ;D Really must we always be silly? the real aim of the match is clearly to collect the giant glowing orb in the middle of the X and present it to queen Herfadietee (Played by the big oily fat guy) and then and only then does the match turn into Vince Russos old toe nail on a pole match. |
