I think many of us would agree that the World X and Super X cups were one of TNA's greatest, most original ideas(surprised they're gone?). The whole concept of having a World Cup like tourney to me was very intriguing, and honestly if promoted and booked well it could have very well rivaled the WWE in terms of gimmicked themed events.
While the X Cups featured have been very good, I felt the rules and how it was set up were pretty rough around the edges and needed some tweaks. It took me only about 40 minutes to think of how both World X and Super X cups should be done. If some random Joe Schmo like me could think of this in 40 minutes, I don't see why the buffoons in TNA can't think of something better.

4th Place vs 3rd Place

2nd Place
(X still in-active. Elimination Pinfall still applys.)
1st Place
(X is active. Elimination Pinfall no longer applys.)
WINNER: Team who wins gets the TNA World X Cup, a $30,000 dollar cash prize(Kayfabe), and the Captain receives a TNA X-Division Title Shot at the next PPV.
So there you go. The Super X Cup has a total of
15 matches and The World X Cup has a total of
14 matches. Each Cup could start in the beginning of May, continue all the way till the beginning of June and end at Destination X. I'd have the Super X Cup every 2 years and the World X Cup every 2 years in between just like they use to be.
