TNA Matches Monster ' s Ball match . The key premise of the match - was - that all contenders are sequestered alone in a locked room without light , food or water for twenty - four hours before the match . This stipulation is intended to induce extreme feelings of aggression in the competitors . Once released , the wrestlers fight one another in a no disqualification match , with the usage of weapons encouraged . Victory can be achieved by pinfall or submission , with the match ending as soon as one wrestler is pinned or submits ( there is no elimination format ) . However , the locked away stipulation was simply forgotten about and not mentioned since the 5th one . It is now simply a Street Fight , as the match has to end inside the Ring . Ultimate X Match . Ultimate X is usually contested by three wrestlers of the X Division . Two cables , connected to metal structures rising from the four corners of the ring , cross 15 feet above the middle of the ring . [ 1 ] Similar to a ladder match , an object ( usually a championship belt or a large red " X " ) is suspended from where the cables cross . The winner is the first person to take possession of the hung object . After TNA made the transition to a hexagonal ring in June 2004 , the cables were suspended from the four turnbuckles that were not perpendicular to the entrance ramp ( s ) . Gauntlet for the Gold . Different from the other Gauntlet match in which one competitor faces several others , the Gauntlet for the Gold match is very similar to WWE ' s Royal Rumble match . It consists of two competitors entering the ring and fighting for a set amount of time ( usually 3 minutes , but varies ) , following which competitors enter the ring at 90 - second intervals . Elimination is in the standard battle royal format in which a competitor must go over the top rope and hit the floor in order to be eliminated . This can occur both by a competitor being thrown by an opponent out of the ring or by a competitor voluntarily eliminating himself . If a wrestler falls to the floor without going over the top rope or is thrown over the top but does not fall to the floor , the competitor may re - enter the ring and continue the match . The final portion of the match consists of the last two competitors squaring off in a regular singles match in which victory must be attained by pinfall or submission . No official ruling has been declared on interference or disqualification , but due to the booking of such matches and the brevity of the actual final portion of the match , neither potential outcome has ever been an issue . Hangman ' s Horror match . The Hangman ' s Horror match , which was ( legitimately ) created by Raven , has dog collars hung on the ring ropes . In order to win the match a wrestler has to hang their opponent from one of the collars until they can no longer continue . Elevation X Match . Total Nonstop Action Wrestling ' s variation of the scaffold match , has two scaffolds placed above the ring intersecting to form an " X " , with the only way to lose being to fall from the structure . Clockwork Orange House of Fun match . The Clockwork Orange House of Fun match , also known as Raven ' s House of Fun , was created by professional wrestler Raven during his time in TNA Wrestling . It ' s a singles match for which a chain link wall is erected on one side of the ring with chains wrapped from it to various points on the ring itself with weapons hanging from them . [ 39 ] In the first match the only way to win was to put an opponent through two tables , [ 39 ] but afterwards it was changed to falls - count - anywhere rules . Hard Ten Match . The Hard Ten match was created by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling . It is contested on a points system , where the points are earned for the use of weapons . The first person to earn ten points — and be up by at least two points — wins . Regular strikes with a weapon are worth one point , while putting an opponent through a table is worth five . [ 42 ] Unlike the tables match , a wrestler simply moving out of the way so that an opponent puts themselves through a table does count in this match type . Sadistic Madness Match . Sadistic Madness is a match created by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling in which an opponent must be bleeding before a wrestler can legally pin them . [ 51 ] A variation , the Doomsday Chamber of Blood , takes place inside of a barbed wire topped cage . King of the Mountain match . The five competitors in the match start out as " ineligible " to win . In order to become " eligible " , a wrestler must score a pinfall or submission on an opponent . The opponent who submits or is pinned is forced to spend two minutes in the " penalty box " cage . More than one wrestler can be in the cage . This often results in wrestlers fighting inside the cage or forming some sort of alliance . Once " eligible " , the wrestler may win the match by retrieving the belt and hanging it on the hook suspended above the ring with the aid of the ladders . A TNA official maintains possession of the belt and circles the ring , staying out of the action as much as possible . When a wrestler wishes to hang the belt , he must retrieve it from the official . Once the belt is in play , any other wrestler who is eligible may attempt to steal the belt and hang it . Once the belt has been dropped and no wrestler is attempting to hang it , a referee returns the belt to the official . Six Sides of Steel . Is a steel cage match that takes place in a six sided ring . The object of the Match is to escape the cage by climbing the cage , forcing the opponent to tap - out , escaping through the cage door , or by pinning your opponent . See also . TNA Impact !
