TNA Announces New Rules For X Divsion Matches

Published On March 21, 2013 | By | TNA News

For years, TNA has billed the X Division as a “no limits” division, but that never really meant anything.

On Thursday’s Impact Wrestling, TNA announced the rule changes to X Division matches that Dixie Carter hinted at last week on Twitter. Moving forward:

  1. The X Division now has a weight limit of 230 lbs.
  2. All X Division matches will now be 3-man matches

Hit up the comments below and tell us what you think about the new rules.

    they always change their damn weight limit

  • askbillmitchell

    So they are reinstating one old rule and adding a new one. Consistency – A word that TNA hasn’t used properly since 2009.

  • doloafo

    3-man Triple Threat = redundant

  • http://www.sescoops.com/ Mr 561

    How long before these rules are forgotten by TNA?

    • Kefka

      Thanks for keeping your comments here and not in the article. Much appreciated.

  • Hudson

    Just call it the triple threat championship title..

    I think the three way match rules is stupid. is incredible stupid and as dolafo mentions below, redundant! As far as the weight limits it ruins the original idea of the X Division, I believe Mike Tenay used to say “there are no weight limits, there is no limits”

  • Deante320

    Ignoring the fact that TNA currently has only 3. X division wrestlers active so far. I don’t think it’s a good idea unless they do something very heart stopping which is kind hard to believe.

    • Stijnosb

      that would be fun since all the matches are triple threat. seeing the same guys fight each other again and again and again :’)

  • Kings of Wrestling

    New rules fit right in the hands of Aces and Eights. Mark my words Wes Brisco or Garrett Bischoff will win the X Division title in the near future.

    • Pozessed

      I think Wes will. He seems to be the better out of the 2.

      • Kings of Wrestling

        Yeah that’s what I thought two. That’s why the weight limit went up.

  • No Nonsense

    So is it safe to say Samoa Joe & RVD are no longer X-Division stars, Gone are the days of the greatest Triple Threat matches in TNA such as Daniels/Joe/Styles instead of the division being based on No Limits we get this tripe. TNA could have just gone back to the Old school of what made the X Division successful but No lets change it stupidly…TNA has taken a staple and destroyed a legacy. X-Division title is now just like every other title in TNA.

  • newgeneration

    TNA will more than likely have one wrestler go through a weekly weight-loss montage just for him to lose enough weight to challenge the X-Division champion. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was even a weigh in and the wrestler strips naked just to end up weighing 229.9 pounds.

    so basically before it was tna’s version of the harcore title and now it’s become their version of the cruiserweight title

  • bilbo baggins

    Its not about weight limits, its about no limits….huh?

  • wrestlingminute

    I like the idea and the rules but like so many are saying…how long until they ditch those.

  • jdbrown

    The weight limit isn’t that big of an issue, because the X-Division, with a few exceptions, has for the most part been TNA’s cruiserweight division. I don’t like making the all matches to be triple threat matches. I’d rather see one on one.

  • Andres0082

    So now this is a Cruiserweight-esque championship combined with 3 men? RVD better stop the munchies if he wants to still be on the title hunt.

    So it’s basically a triple-threat belt?

  • wwetnadudez

    Anyone else think the hype package for the X Division was actually pretty cool?

    i thought X division was about No Limits No at all DA Fuck is this
