Barbed Wire Massacre is a match type where the ropes have been replaced with barbed wire set up in the "X" fashion and the use of additional items that have barbed wire attached to or wrapped around them are made available, such as plywood, baseball bats, steel folding chairs and other weapons. This match originated in TNA in 2005. Since then, there have been four such matches.
In 2021, at Hard to Kill, a variation of Barbed Wire Massacre was used. In lieu of replacing the ropes outright with barbed wire, the ring ropes simply had barbed wire wrapped around them, while the ring itself was surrounded by barbed wire boards and weapons, including a section of steel cage erected on one side of the ring, adorned with barbed wire.
