3. Cool Down On Ultimate X
I used to love the Ultimate X matches. I would get excited when they would announce one. Now, Im never surprised when they have one. I dont get that excited when they have. They have done them too much. The first Ultimate X match was held in 2003, since then there have been 30 Ultimate X matches. Thats a lot! Unfortunately, the Ultimate X match has kind of been dumped in the same boat with WWEs Elimination Chamber match. I used to get super excited for the Chamber, but now, I know theres going to be one every year, I know what month it will be, and sometimes theyll even be two of them in the same night! It takes away the surprise and the special feel of the match, for me at least. I would much prefer if they save the Ultimate X for big, special occasions. There have been 6 Ultimate X matches on regular, free TV. There has been 1 on a house show/live event. And even 1 on The Best Damn Sports Show Period! If I were somehow running only the X-Division apartment in TNA (I like to think that they have several people working super hard for storylines and matches for each division. I dont know why, but I do. Lay off me!) I would have Ultimate X matches very sparingly. So that when they announce an Ultimate X match, it will get people excited. I feel like Ultimate X has become a match for TNA to fall back on. Instead of making it special, they throw it out there if they have nothing better to do.
