Forgotten/unused gimmick matches
 

So i'm watching old ECW matches and just saw the Mexican death match between Mysterio and Psicosis, after each pinfall whoever took the pin has to answer a 10 count or lose the match, not sure if it was a one off match but ive never seen it before/since and thought it could work today, maybe. So basically what other gimmick matches from days gone by do you think could or should be reintroduced, aside from Wargames.

Scaffold matches

Viagra on a Pole match needs to come back.

Championship Scramble, remember that?

Body Bag Match.

"Paddle On A Pole" Match.....

I have vague recollections of the 'double jeopardy' match from ECW,2 seperate matches happening at once in the same ring,always thought that was a cool concept.

It's called TNAs version of a last man standing match but they could never pull it off

Doomsday Cage Match
King of the Road
Battlebowl

I was thinking if it came back then it would be in TNA,which probably isnt a good thing.

Dumpster Match
Coal Miner's Glove Match

Chamber Of Horrors

Dog Collar Match: Two guys strapped to the neck with a metal chain and collar.

Tower Of Doom

Intercontinental title match.

Kennel From Hell Match
Judy Bagwell On A Forklift Match
San Francisco 49ers Gold Rush Match

That is the old Texas Deathmatch rules, actually.

Apple Pie Strap Match
Bunkhouse Brawl
Catch-as-Catch-Can

:shifty:

Who could forget WCW's King of the Road match?

Iron Circle Match.
Lion's Den Match.
Cruiserweight Open type match (unless that was the Scramble match).

The Cruiserweight Open was a weird Gauntlet match. All of the guys were around the ring and they went in a certain order until every man had been defeated but 1.

Have they done another one of these since then? Tag Team Turmoil was a similar concept that always was a good match.

Ally Michaka....

First blood match

Dog Collar match

Hogpen Match
Lion's Den Match
Inferno Match
Leather Strap Match

I'm noticing that all of the matches mentioned here were awful for the most part and should remain confined to history.

Parking Lot Brawl

Submission Match

The Kennel From Hell and Tower of Doom were already mentioned. Let's face it, this threat strapped a rocket to the shark and shot it to the moon.

Wut was that WCW one, with a cage on top of a cage on top of a hell in a cell and the winner had to get to the top and get the straight jacket out and put it on the other guy

I just watched The Road Warriors DVD where Jim Cornette fell on his ass during one of those. Even as a "smark" it is clear to see that those matches were insanely violent and extremely dangerous.

TNA had their "Elevation X" matches a few years back. Which were basically scaffold matches. I remember at least two. I remember actually enjoying them. I mean, they were terrible "wrestling" matches, but the "story" of the danger and the height was cool.

Stu Hart Dungeon Match

I remember Rhino vs AJ Styles. When/Who was the other one?

There are so many of them but the ones that WWE could really use to their advantage I think would be...

War Games
Battle Bowl
First Blood Match

Amateur Rules Match

GIMMICK BATTLE ROYAL!

Punjabi Prison Match
Boiler Room Brawl

I think it was Rhino vs James Storm.
