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 was pinned in the finals was forced to put on a turkey suit. In 2007, Samoa Joe won the tournament, with A.J. Styles being forced into the turkey suit. In the 2008 tournament, Rhino won, with Alex Shelley being forced into the turkey suit. The 2008 Turkey Bowl would be the last until 2011, where it would return, but as a single match going forward.[1]
