Worst Gimmick Match
 
Seriously, what gimmick match just makes you go "oh fuck me, not this horse shit again!!!"

Last Man Standing, definitely. It's a God-awful concept, and it guarantees that a large part of the match will consist of too-long periods of ONE...............................................TWO............................................... ...THREE.......................................FOUR.............................................FIVE ...................................................SIX...................................

...rinse and repeat.

And draws are even worse, cause then you have a crappy ending, and both participants lie there for like ten minutes, and then we spend twenty minutes watching them stand up.

So what makes you wanna vomit?

King of the Mountain. Whoever thought a reverse ladder match involving pins and a penalty box would be a good idea is a fucking moron.

IC Champion 09-21-2007 12:32 PM

Anything of a pole is pretty bad.

And King of the Moutain is pretty bad too.

St. Jimmy 09-21-2007 12:41 PM

Punjabi. Also, Last Man Standing is amazing. Given the right guys, the psychology is off the charts.

thecc 09-21-2007 12:56 PM

The reverse battle royal was fucking awful.

Xero 09-21-2007 12:57 PM

How the hell did that work?

BigDaddyCool 09-21-2007 01:02 PM

Judy Bagwell on a Pole match, everyone is a loser. Whoever gets to Judy Bagwell (the technical winner of the match) is stuck with her, like a loser. The guy that doesn't get to her, has lost as well. And the fans that paid money to see it, they are out $79.99 for the tickets and they will never get that time back. Everyone loses.

From what i remember wrestlers had to race into the ring. then the first 7 to make it were in the match. then it became a regular battle royal until there were 2 left. then it became a regular match.

Xero 09-21-2007 01:08 PM

:wtf:

Stickman 09-21-2007 01:28 PM

Pole matches...especially Flag matches.

Also, strap matches.

Chavo Classic 09-21-2007 02:05 PM

Cruiserweight matches

Hanso Amore 09-21-2007 02:18 PM

Reverse battle Royal Sucked indeed. Pretty much anything TNA comes up with sucks. Like they combine matches, like the Elimination cage match until 2 guys are left then they have to escape.

I still vote Coal Miners glove as the worst ever. EVER!










EVER

thecc 09-21-2007 02:22 PM

If you're talking about the one from ISW, thats really not a serious promotion so it kinda fits.

It would have made as much sense! :shifty:

chrisat928 09-21-2007 04:36 PM

Ummm...Did everyone forget the Blindfolded Cage match?

Slow 09-21-2007 05:19 PM

Electric cage match. Totally unrealistic and terribly executed, even by glorious TNA standards

We try to, we really do try

Disturbed316 09-21-2007 05:54 PM

Anything TNA has "invented" is fucking terrible.

Stickman 09-21-2007 06:09 PM

6 sided ring matches.

jimmy012345 09-21-2007 06:34 PM

the tuxedo match sucked

FakeLaser 09-21-2007 06:50 PM

Ladder matches :shifty:







In all honesty, I quit matches.

Jordan 09-21-2007 07:36 PM

When has there ever been a bad I Quit match?

Jordan 09-21-2007 07:38 PM

TNA has horrible gimmick matches, Raven's Clockwork Orange, Monsters Ball, King of the Mountain, Reverse Battle Royal (how fucking stupid is that), Ultimate X, Elevation X, Really every match they try to be creative with sucks horrible shit balls.

Mr. JL 09-21-2007 08:31 PM

I fucking hate ______ on a Pole Matches.

Mercury Bullet 09-21-2007 08:41 PM

Reverse Battle Royal, Anything Pole, And that electric chair/electric cage/electric clusterfuck match WCW had back in the day.

Impact! 09-22-2007 02:46 AM

Orange Clockwork House of Fun match was awesome. Fuck you Jordan X

FourFifty 09-22-2007 03:29 AM

Empty Arena matches.
Thank god this hasn't been done in a loooong time.

Chavo Classic 09-22-2007 11:17 AM

I gotta say that the Ultimate X match isn't a bad concept. Mind you, it helps when the majority of those involved are usualy pretty good workers.

The Optimist 09-22-2007 02:32 PM

Most of the above mentioned TNA matches, Kennel from Hell, most Pole matches, empty arena matches are boring as shit, the three tiered Ready 2 Rumble cage, the old Electric Chair cage, Kendo Stick matches (WCW), Boiler Room Brawl, Punjabi Prism

Xero 09-22-2007 02:41 PM

Oh, come on, the Boiler Room Brawl was good.

Was one of my favorite matches growing up. (The original Taker/Mankind one, not the ones which proceeded it.) :$

All matches including electric and Khail. Aslo ironman and table matches

Crossrine 09-23-2007 07:13 PM

Buried alive matches and Casket matches to me are so insanely stupid. I cant handle watching it and have people mark out and think the man buried is dead now

Lord-Of-Darkness 09-23-2007 09:17 PM

To go back to DT's original post of LMS, I didn't mind them a couple of years ago. They only used to break them out every year or two. But WWE put up an article of past LMS matches, and showed that Cena/Orton will be LMS 3 of 2007. No gimmick match(except no dq/extreme rules/hardcore) should be used that much in a year. It kinda kills it.

I used to really like HIAC, but I'm not too bothered about them anymore either.

I do have a pet peeve with cage matches. Where they are used to settle a feud because the cowardly heel keeps running away......when the object of the match is to escape your opponent!

I think the worst for me are pole matches. Just don't like them.

I loved the 1st one too. Pretty sure it was only Foley/Show that proceeded it. I heard a Foley interview on a podcast this year where he talked about those. Apparently he was offered gimmicked weapons and shit in the 1st one, but refused it, because he wanted a realistic feel to it. But he came out of it so bad that when the second one rolled around, he requested that every weapon in the room was gimmicked.

hb2k 09-23-2007 09:52 PM

TNA's Reverse Battle Royal. 17 guys around the ring pretending they can't get in. NO BUYS.

So of course, they're doing it again at Bound For Glory.

What was that stupid match with Sting and Abyss with the candleabras in the ring, blue lighting and phantom of the opera music playing over the top? Last Rites or something?

thedamndest 09-23-2007 10:12 PM

I don't understand how these matches supposedly get sanctioned. Would Mankind have had to go to Gorilla Monsoon (I believe the on-screen President at the time) and explain that he wanted to wrestle the Undertaker in the Boiler Room of the Gund Arena, and the winner would be whomever can reclaim the urn from Paul Bearer waiting in the ring? I don't think the venue would have permitted the use of their Boiler Room in such a manner for starters.

That was a great idea, just a terrible execution.

Also, for an optimist, you do a lot of bitching.

Stickman 09-24-2007 02:40 PM

The inferno match was pretty weak.
