Karrion Kross has stirred up excitement among WWE fans with his latest pitch: an Extreme Championship Tournament that would introduce a brand-new title to the WWE. The idea, which Kross shared on X.com/Twitter, proposes a tournament with no rules, no disqualifications, and matches decided only by pinfall, submission, or knockout.

Kross suggested this could be the perfect way to introduce an "Extreme Wrestling Championship," adding a new and different kind of competition to programming that is about to move over to Netflix.

The concept quickly gained traction online, with fans debating the merits of Kross’s idea. Some fans saw it as a fresh take on the classic hardcore matches that defined an era of WWE, while others worried it might simply bring back a title that few care about any longer. Regardless, Kross’s idea has sparked a conversation about what new directions WWE could take to enhance its programming and keep fans engaged.

When asked who should participate in this extreme tournament, Kross proposed that the fans should have a say. It's unclear if he was suggesting WWE open it up to the fanbase to legitimately be involved in the decision-making, possibly through social media polls or live voting during events. If he was, the idea could drive up viewership and create a buzz.

Kross also hinted at the larger-scale reason WWE might want to consider this; WWE's upcoming relationship with Netflix. When a Twitter user asked if Netflix needed more content, Kross said, "Bingo," suggesting that the streaming giant might be looking for additional WWE programming. His comments suggest WWE could be planning to expand its partnership with Netflix by introducing new shows or exclusive events. This might be one of the many ideas wrestlers and others behind the scenes will throw out there.

When it comes to Hardcore/No Holds Barred Matches, everyone likes to throw around the term "No rules". But to say that you can win by pinfall, submission, or knockout is a rule. Rules are not just violations. They're not just what you can't do, they're also what you can/should do. The same with "Unsanctioned" Matches. If it was truly unsanctioned it wouldn't be held in a WWE ring, during a WWE event, with a WWE referee.

Sounds interesting. It would have guys who aren't being used each week TV time.
