IMPACT Wrestling has created its fair share of innovation matches throughout the years including Ultimate X and King of the Mountain.
Ultimate X has remained a staple in the company, and at IMPACT Destination X 2008, the company took it to a different level with Elevation X, which was Ultimate X on a platform. AJ Styles and Rhino were the two participants in the bout.
Speaking on Cultaholic's Desert Island Graps, "Speedball" Mike Bailey revealed he wants to take part in an Elevation X match.
"Elevation X really is my favorite. AJ Styles vs. Rhino in Elevation X really is one of my favorite things of all time. One, because it's completely ridiculous. It's a terrible idea. I watched it last year when I was doing a Twitch stream to get ready for Ultimate X and I watched all the Ultimate X matches I could find, and I also watched Elevation X. I had seen it, but as I'm re-watching it, I'm like, 'this is completely ridiculous.' I then spoke to Rhino about it, and he told me, above and beyond what you see on TV, the structure was shaky and really felt unstable, and it looks terrifying. Somehow, it's worse. I would love to be part of it because I think it's an incredibly over-the-top interesting concept," he said.
Bailey is set to compete in his second Ultimate X match at IMPACT Slammiversary. He is 1-0 in Ultimate X matches, winning the X Division Championship at IMPACT Slammiversary 2022 in Ultimate X.
