If you had a gimmick match...

[Swiss Ultimate]

what would it be? What would you call it? Explain.

I've only ever come up with one really cool idea for a gimmick match...well, it was cool to me when I was fifteen years old and I'm still rather fond of it. I don't remember what I called it when I was a kid, but I'd imagine "Hard Time" would be a good name to me.

Anyways, the premise is basically a mixture of cage match and a ladder match. The first 15-30 minutes the wrestlers both men are locked in a cage. Escape is an automatic DQ before the time goes out and after reaching the predetermined time the cage is unlocked and the first man to climb a 20 foot ladder all the way at the end of the entrance-way to (ring the bell, capture the belt/suitcase/whatever) is the victor.

Finishes would be open-ended obviously as they are with all matches. I always imagined that the heel would try to escape the cage early (knowing full well that doing so was losing the match) or that he'd get his ass handed to him only to come back to steal the win after the cage was unlocked. There'd always be the option of both men getting DQ'd during a spot atop the cage or for both men to get knocked out via a suplex off the twenty foot ladder etc.

So basically part one of the match is all about revenge, while the second part is more about which wrestler can climb the ladder.
