10 Reasons You Need To Check Out TNA's January 2015 UK Tour
7. Ultimate X At Wembley
Every major wrestling promotion has its own signature match and TNA is no exception. Unlike the WWEs Royal Rumble or Hell in a Cell, TNAs signature, the Ultimate X match, has not been replicated or duplicated by any other promotion: its totally unique to TNA and its quite the spectacle. A staple of the X Division, the Ultimate X match works like this: two cables, connected to metal scaffolding attached to the ring posts, stretch diagonally across the ring, 15 feet high in the air. If its a title match, then the X Division title belt hangs above the middle of the ring, where the cables cross. The Ultimate X match is a multiple competitor match, typically featuring anywhere between three and six wrestlers. The winner is the first person who scales the poles and then scoots across the cables (usually hanging upside down) to retrieve the belt. Its a hairy situation, with wrestlers sometimes perilously dangling by one arm, trying to avoid a 15 foot drop. Its a spectacular sight to behold and something thats totally unique to TNA. The Ultimate X match will be coming to the TV taping at Wembley Arena on January 31st.
