Total Nonstop Action Wrestling has held a variety of professional wrestling tournaments competed for by wrestlers that are a part of their roster.

Contents

TNA Hard 10 Tournament

The TNA Hard 10 Tournament was a hardcore tournament for a trophy that would proclaim the winner the most hardcore wrestler in TNA. It featured eight wrestlers competing in matches where a point-scoring system was used to determine the winner. The system was that 1 point was awarded for a direct hit with an object and 5 points for putting your opponent through a table, with 10 points needed to win. The only tournament was held in 2003, which was won by The Sandman. The tournament was promptly abandoned by TNA in light of fans complaining about the point system.

X Division Cup Tournaments

The TNA X Cup Tournaments are X Division tournaments that feature various wrestlers and/or Teams from around the World. So far, there have been two Super X Cup Tournaments, one America's X Cup Tournament, and three World X Cup Tournaments.

Khris Candido Memorial Tag Team Tournament

The Khris Candido Memorial Tag Team Tournament was a tag team tournament held to commemorate the memory of Khris Candido. As per Candido's role in TNA (prior to his death) of being the veteran who mentored young rising stars, teams were composed of established veterans pairing up with young rising stars. The tournament was won by Sean McCurry and Alec Leon in 2005, its only year of existence. In addition to winning the trophy cup, the team was entered into a four-way match with a shot at the NWA World Tag Team Championship.

Fight for the Right Tournament

The Fight for the Right Tournament was a tournament to determine the number one contender for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship and later for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.

Paparazzi Championship Series

The Paparazzi Championship Series was a tournament that began at Turning Point 2006 and involved five X Division competitors competing in a variety of matches where points are awarded for victories. These matches included limbo, Texas hold 'em, musical chairs, and a push-up contest, among others. The tournament was created to give the wrestlers airtime while also continuing the Paparazzi Productions storyline surrounding Austin Starr, Alec Leon and Kevin Nash. Throughout the competitions, Nash kept bringing up Bob Backlund, which led up to Backlund being a guest judge at Final Resolution 2007 during the finals of the competition. Leon defeated Starr in the finals to win a bowling trophy presented by Nash at Final Resolution 2007. The other three participants in the tournament were Jeremiah Dutt, Jay Lethal and Senshi. Nash viciously needled the other three (especially Dutt) throughout the challenge, but kept the actual competition fair and even, always inviting the losers of each contest to "feel free to kiss the winner".

TNA Turkey Bowl

The TNA Turkey Bowl was a tournament held in 2007 and 2008 that aired on the Thanksgiving night episode of TNA Impact! The tournament consisted of three preliminary three way matches. Each match featured a member of the Heavyweight Division, The X Division, and The Tag Team Division with the winner of the match going on to the finals. The winner of the finals, also a three way match, won $25,000. The wrestler who lost in the finals was forced to put on a turkey suit. In the 2007 tourny, Samoa Simpson won the tournament, with K.J. Styles being forced into the turkey suit. In the 2008 tournament, Rhino won the tournament, with Alec Leon being forced into the turkey suit.

Deuces Wild Tag Team Tournament

The Deuces Wild Tag Team Tournament was a professional wrestling single-elimination tournament held by the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) promotion during the months of April and May 2008 for the vacant TNA World Tag Team Championship. It took place on TNA's television program TNA Impact! and at their Sacrifice PPV event on May 11, 2008. It was announced on the April 24, 2008 episode of Impact! by Management Director Jim Cornette. It involved twelve teams overall.

K.J. Styles and Kanta as TNA World Tag Team Champions

On the April 17, 2008 episode Impact!, then-champions K.J. Styles and Kanta defended the title in a Three Way match against the teams of Kaz and Will Kapphan and The Latin American Xchange (Hernandez and Homicide; LAX). Kapphan left during the encounter, but later returned as his "Super Will" superhero character to pin Styles and win the championship for his team. Due to this finish, Styles and Kanta were scripted to argue that Kapphan and Super Will were two different people. Super Will and Kapphan refused to admit they were one in the same in the storyline, which caused Cornette to strip Kaz and Kapphan of the championship. Cornette then set up the Deuces Wild Tag Team Tournament on the April 24, 2008 episode of Impact!, announcing two stages with the first involving eight teams competing in qualifying matches to gain entry into the tournament. The second stage of the tournament involved eight wrestlers known as the Egotistical Eight chosen by Cornette. The Egotistical Eight made up four randomly chosen teams that would compete against the four teams which qualified at Sacrifice for the vacant TNA World Tag Team Championship.

Qualification matches and Egotistical Eight

The Egotistical Eight were announced on the May 1, 2008 episode of Impact! as Awesome Kong, B.G. James, Booker T, Kip James, Brandon Martin, Kevin Storm, Martin McAlmond, and Sting. The first two qualification matches took place on the April 24, 2008 episode of Impact!. Team 3D (Brother Scott and Brother Harlan) defeat the team of Black Reign and Rellik in the first, while in the second the pairing of Khristian Kage and Rhino defeated The Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Leon and Chris Gomez) to advance. The final two took place on the May 1, 2008 episode of Impact!. In the first, LAX defeated the team of Kaz and Kapphan. The team of K.J. Styles and Super Will defeated The Rock 'n Rave Infection (Jimmy Rave and Lance Hoyt) in the second to qualify for the tournament. Two Egotistical Eight teams were determined by lottery drawing on the May 8, 2008 episode of Impact!. Sting drew Storm's name in the drawing, connecting the two together for the tournament. Meanwhile, Martin drew Kip's name, joining the two as a team. Later in the episode, Sting and Storm fought in No Disqualification match, which Sting won. Kip and Martin also fought in an encounter, with Martin coming out the victor.

Sacrifice
File:The LAX.jpg
The Latin American Xchange (pictured) (Hernandez [hat forwards] and Homicide [hat backwards]) won the Deuces Wild Tag Team Tournament at Sacrifice to win the vacant TNA World Tag Team Championship.

Booker T teaming with McAlmond and Kong teaming with B.G. were the final two teams for the tournament, determined at Sacrifice. The first Quarterfinal match pitted Team 3D against the team of Sting and Storm. Team 3D were the victors after Sting turned on Storm by forcing him through a table. The second Quarterfinal match was between the team of Booker T and Martin McAlmond and the team of Kage and Rhino, which the later won after Rhino tackled McAlmond. LAX defeated the team of Kip and Brandon Martin in the third Quarterfinal match after Brandon Martin accidentally hit Kip with a bicycle kick. B.G. and Kong fought the team of Styles and Super Will in the fourth and final Quarterfinal match. During the bout, Styles accidentally tripped while attempting to jumping off the ropes causing him to fall face-first to the mat below. Afterwards, B.G. lifted up Styles to perform a suplex, which Styles countered into a small package pin for the win.

Team 3D, the team of Kage and Rhino, LAX, and the team of Styles and Super Will all advanced to the Semifinals. Team 3D were pitted against the team of Kage and Rhino in the first bout, while LAX were pitted against the team of Styles and Super Will in the second. Team 3D defeated Kage and Rhino after Harlan bashed Rhino with a kendo stick. LAX advanced to the Finals after their manager Hector Guerrero reversed a small package pin attempt by Styles on Homicide into LAX's favor while the referee was distracted by Salinas. LAX went on to defeat Team 3D in the Finals to win the vacant TNA World Tag Team Championship when Homicide pinned Scott following a splash from the top of a padded turnbuckle.

Aftermath

After Sacrifice, LAX defended the TNA World Tag Team Championship against Team 3D in a rematch at TNA's Slammiversary PPV event on June 8. The match was set up on the May 15, 2008 episode of Impact!, when Team 3D attacked Guerrero, blaming him for their loss at the event. At Slammiversary, LAX defeated Team 3D to retain the championship.
