In what way is Ultimate X innovative? The basic principle is the same as a ladder match. Difference being, obviously, that there are cables, instead of the use of a ladder. Yet everybody talks about how innovative the concept is. Is it innovative if the basic concept is the same as another match? Hell In The Cell is a different version of a cage match, it creates good matces. But it's not the most innovative gimmick in history.
I'm not disputing that the gimmick has produced some of the best matches of the past 5 years. But I am going to say that ladder matches are better. It's so obvious. In Ultimate X the cables are almost statc. You can't move them. The only thing you can do is jump from them, do moves off them and fall off them. So In a couple of years the gimmcik will be finished. Not in TNA, they'll still use it. But each and every one will be almost the same. There is only so much you can do with it.
