On Thursday's episode of Impact Wrestling, TNA announced the rule changes to X Division matches that Dixie Carter hinted at last week on Twitter. They are:

* The X Division now has a weight limit of 230 lbs.
* All X Division matches will now be three-man matches[/quote]

The reason for the first rule is obvious. It means that certain main eventers (e.g. Rob Van Dam, Jeff Hardy) can no longer compete for the X-Division title, and therefore must remain in the main event bracket.

But as for the second reason... I used to read Eric Bischoff's blog every single week until he joined TNA. He used to hate multi-man matches because he felt that they covered up a lack of drama between competitors.

That`s retarded.[/quote]This.

So Ultimate X matches will be 3 way matches also? This is just another backward step for the X-Division.
