Gimmick matches you want to see in WWE (that rhymes)
I have always thought a good gimmick match in WWE if they did it with the right guys would be a No Holds Barred match.
No, I don't mean that shit they are going to do with JBL and Batista. I mean a no holds barred match, with the key word being holds. Not a hardcore or no-dq match, which is all no holds barred matchs have become, but like a match were we are promised to see dangerous wrestling moves like pile drivers, brain busters, and a whole slew of suplexes.
I would set it up in mid fued with a guy like Jericho vs. a guy like Cena. Jericho gets in Bischoff's ear that he should get a second title shot against Cena, but he needs the perfect stipulations to beat Cena. Bischoff wants to know what they are, Jericho says he is still working that out. Later that night Cena (in the ring) is pissed and wants to know what these stipulations are. Jericho (on stage) says he figured it out, and announce a no holds barred match. Cena pretends to act scared and then says all cocky like he isn't afraid of steel chairs and trash cans, so bring it on.
Jericho is like no ass clown, I mean no holds barred. Jericho then produce the WWE rule book (much like how he did with the WCW one) and flips to a section that comments on moves that have been banned in WWE and names off a few. Jericho then goes on to say forqien objects are still illegal and it is otherwise a striaght wrestling match. Cena looks confused, even slightly scare realizing Jericho is the man of 1003 holds while Cena knows about 10. JR then explains the implecations of such a match to the boys and girls at home in such a voice that one would think an atomic bomb was in the hands of Osama bin Laden. Jericho then swaggers off smiling to himself while John Cena is left alone in ring trying to figure out what to do.
Now this could work equal as well with Beniot, Angle, Eddie, or Tajiri in Jerichos place against pretty much anyone else in Cena's place.
Or make it really interesting and book that angle and match with like Jericho vs. Angle or something like.
