All I can say is new concept match = afraid. Actually, if the Wrestling Observer Newsletter is correct, this would be an x-division type concept where the 2 combatants would wrestle for 10 minutes and at the end judges would pick the winner based on who looked better, and it would I guess be legit. This is a trainwreck that I would have to see at least once and be more than happy to pay $30 to see occur. The flaw with this idea, and as this is TNA you knew there'd be one is that it usually takes 2 men to look impressive, so how would this even really work?

Unless TNA has come up with something even wackier in the past few weeks to top this.
