Should the Feast or Fired match be brought back & have a briefcase added with the Television Championship added to list of title shots? Also since the Knockouts Division doesn't have a alot of tournament matches or speciality matches do they deserve a Feast or Fired match where you either get a suitcase that has a pinkslip, a Knockout Championship title shot, or a Knockout's Tag-Team Championships title shot?

[Mr.Anderson]

Yes. It will give TNA a reason to fire Garrett Bischoff.

[Master Blaster]

No. Stuff like Feast Or Fired gave TNA the reputation to overcomplicate their gimmicks and to create clusterfucks. Gimmicks are best when they're nice and simple. I think that's one of the reasons Lethal Lockdown is such a success.


@ Anderson: A simple loser leaves town match would be enough to get rid of him.

A Sacrifice wager match would do better with Garett's career on the line

[ILWyep]

No. Terrible MITB rip-off.

[ShowThe420]

Nope, would rather see the Sacrifice match back.

Yes the traditional Sacrifice wager match needs to come back.

I was so glad when they got rid of Feast or Fired and Steel Asylum, seriously those gimmick matches made the company as a whole look second rate.

Feast Or Fired? Yes.

Steel Asylum? No, I don't get how that match would make the company look second rate. The steel asylum matches were extremely good and I say they bring back the concept from the original one for Destination X this year. The winner is put in the World Title match later on in the show. Gimmick matches make wrestling less predictable and boring. I agree some of the complicated ones are stupid but just look at KOTM. The IWC loves that match yet it's one of the most complicated matches in history.

I don't know I never liked Steel Asylum. I never liked the cage they used and never really liked the concept as a whole, it just felt way too over the top for my taste.

[Omgitzjay]

King of the Mountain or Full Metal Mayhem.

[Namor1987]

Worst match ever the Electric Steel Cage Match. When they used the stun gun it looked so fake.

[MartisLTU]

It Would Be Awesome to See That Match Back

[MR B]

For the match Itself no... But Idea behind yes... Tna had somthing going with the idea but it needs tons of twicking before coming back.

MITB is a Ladder match with just a different name. WWE just added a different name to it. Companies threw out the word and companies in the past have done the same thing. The only thing wwe done was put it in a briefcase and give it a different name.

Feast or Fire match was a Pole match that didn't require a use of Ladder and had peoples carer on the line. That imo is more Creative then just a different name to a gimmick that has been around for years.

The only thing they had in commin are the briefcase

WWE is great at Marketing gimmicks and making them seam orginal like MITB and HITC.

Feast or Fired was more creative then MITB but that doesn't necessarily mean it's any good either. The match was usually a bigger clusterfuck than MITB due to it having around 12-13 people in one ring trying to fight over 4 briefcases on a pole. They of course had the fired briefcase to make the match a bit more interesting but the only people who were fired were lower card X Division stars like Curry Man and Shiek Abdul Bashir. Lets just face it this match would have never taken place if it wasn't for MITB and it's concept becoming popular. The idea may have been more creative but MITB's simple concept is one of the reasons why that gimmick has lasted so long.

I never stated it was good ether. I just pointed out the differenace in the two gimmicks. liked i stated wwe marketing is the reason this match is so popular.

Feast or Fired sucked. I mean if TNA brought it back, would it be just to "fire" someone who is leaving the company reguardless of the match?
