10 Famous Match Stipulations Never Used By WWE
WWE didn't fancy using these 10 famous match stipulations
4. Ultimate X Match
Our TNA trilogy concludes with perhaps the promotion’s most famous and celebrated creation. A major selling point during the early days of TNA was its X Division, which was designed to fill the gap left by ECW and WCW’s cruiserweights. This division was all about high-flying, high-impact moves, and was initially populated by the likes of Low Ki, Jerry Lynn, and AJ Styles.
The Ultimate X Match is considered the crowning achievement of the X Division concept. Two cables are suspended 15 feet in the air so they form the shape of an X. An object, sometimes a title belt, sometimes a big red cross, is hung in the middle of the X, and it’s up to the participants to retrieve it without using a ladder. There have been over 50 different Ultimate X matches since its 2003 debut, with some being great and others being that one where the X kept falling down.
There are plenty of WWE stars who could work wonders in this sort of environment, but it’s unlikely the company would ever ape something so synonymous with its former competitor. Of course, that could change with the WWE NXT-TNA working relationship.
