Are there any good/innovative gimmick matches yet to be invented?
 

Are there any great, non-confusing gimmick matches that can still be invented?

Now, I'm not talking about shit like Ladder-Cage matches, or Penalty Box Reverse Ladder Inverted Lumber Jack Matches, but simpler matches like a ladder match or a cage match.

I'd say the last really good match was the Ultimate X match. It was familiar (same concept as a ladder match) but different enough and decently executed where I'd call it a pretty good gimmick match.

Basically, this is a "non-retarded" gimmick match thread that could possibly be the next "War Games".

Honestly I think the next step is a MMA styled match....2 minute rounds and shit.

Aside from the rounds, it's been done with the Lions' Den.

About nine years ago with wrestlers that aren't active any more.

My point is that it's been invented.

I know. That's true. It hasn't thrown around freely yet like Ladder matches/Cage matches/Pole matches, which WWE will do if they think of it.

I mean, there has been a match in a moving truck for christ sakes.....can they really come up with anything else?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Ive been told to pass this along

1 Title raised 20 feet above the air
2 Wrestlers
And...


20 Trampolines!

The Chris Benoit Match.

You take each wrestler's family, put them in cages, you have a weigh lifting bench on the entry ramp and...

Oh, nevermind.

Stripper on a pole/ last man standing match :shifty:

As for a real gimmick match, that hasn't been invented yet, that will have the lasting power as a cage or ladder match... probably. TNA sure as well won't invent it. They have too many fucking rules and are confusing.

I'm still a fan of the concept of a Triple Threat (/Fatal Four Way/whatever) where a wrestler needs to get a fall over each of his opponents. Not sure if that has been done yet. It doesn't really use a contraption, though, so it might not be what you're after.

I was thinking the other day how awesome it would be to see some kind of World War III-like Battle Royal with teams. Again, not sure if it has been done. You could use the brands to divide the wrestlers: A RAW team, an ECW team and a SmackDown! team. Everybody in, with a layout that makes the match fair. The last surviving team wins.

It would be wrestling version of Slamball. I would watch.

For like 2 or 3 episodes anyway.
