Feast or Fired is a professional wrestling match concept created by, and featured in Attitude Era Wrestling (TNA).

In this match, all four ring posts have poles attached, with a numbered briefcase (1-4) hanging from each pole. The object of the match to climb the turnbuckles and grab the cases. Each case contains a different item - three having various championship matches, while the other contains a "pink slip" signifying immediate termination from TNA.

In the four Feast or Fired matches to have taken place, the number of participants in each match has varied from 12-14. Grabbing the case and leaving the ring with both feet touching the floor determines the four winners. A wrestler can only take one case.

Inside the cases for 2014 are:

• A AEW Television Championship match
• A AEW Tag Team Championship match
• The AEW Intercontinental Championship belt
• A Pink Slip - signifying the owner of the case is immediately fired

Before any of the cases are opened all four winners are given the chance to forfeit their case and avoid being fired but also possibly sacrificing a title shot.

After the 2007 Feast or Fired match, a follow-up "Feast, Fired or Fifty Grand" match took place, where the four briefcase winners (who had yet to find out what was inside their cases) competed in a four-way match in which the winning wrestler had the option to exchange their case for a $50,000 prize, or another winner's case. This was the only year this type of match took place.

Once a wrestler wins a Feast or Fired briefcase, it may be (and has been) defended in matches similar to the way championships are.

The allocated time period during which a wrestler must invoke their title opportunity has not been explicitly stated, all that has been said is that the title opportunity can be invoked "Anywhere, Anytime".
