Raw/Elimination Chamber - Smackdown/???

[Loose Cannon]

I actually was thinking about this yesterday. Well, not the fact that Smackdown doesn't have a "specialty" match, but what kind of a new match is there to come up with. I study marketing and I'm always thinking about new concepts and different ideas to build a product. There has got to be so many different matches out there they could do that haven't even been discovered yet. The Royal Rumble match amazed viewers the first time it was done. Same for War Games. I should hold a contest on the main page to see who can come up with the best concept for a new match.

I've actually got several ideas for new matches. They're just not the same caliber of EC or HIAC.

Domination Match - Match would have 4 to 6 wrestlers involved the match. The goal is to score a pin or a submission on each one of his opponets. Example, If Eddie, Booker, JBL, RVD, Undertaker, Big Show are in the match, for Eddie to win the match he would have to score a pin fall or submission on Booker, JBL, RVD, Undertaker, and Big Show. I picture their being a scoreboard like for the Ironman except this will show who has pinned or foced a submission on who. I think it would be a good match with a lot of opportunity for twists and turns.

Pyramid Match - Doesn't actually involve a pyramid, I just call it that because of the structure of the match. You start with 4 vs 4 tag match. From their the losing team is eliminated and the surviving team is divided at random into two teams of two which starts the next part of a 2 vs 2 tag match. From their the losing team is eliminated and the surviving team is then divided and that starts the final part of the match of 1 vs 1 singles match. Yes, this potentially could be a really long match but you have to remember the longer it goes the more battered and bruised the wrestlers will be which means that the final part doesn't have to last forever. If I were to book this match I would schedule for about an hour like the Royal Rumble or an Ironman Match. I figured this match would be really interesting because you don't want to start the match with a heel team vs a face team because that means at the end you will have either all faces or all heels so in order to avoid that the wrestlers will be all mixed, heels teamed with faces. Example: JBL, Eddie, RVD, and Luther Reigns vs Kurt Angle, Booker T, Orlando Jordan, and Big Show. This way it also adds in the drama of the heels and faces having to work with each other. We would get to see how the faces would react to how the heels use heel tactics (of course wouldn't be a problem for Eddie but you get the point).

The Last Match Idea I have had for awhile and does involve a cage and its kind of along the lines or RemyRed's idea.

The Tower - A cylindrical cage fits around the ring like the EC but I don't want it as wide as the EC. I want it to fit tight on the ring. And the walls and ceiling will not be made of chains or chain-link but of the metal bars like the old blue cage that WWE had. From the center of the ceiling a belt will be hung. The object will be to climb the sides of the cage, once the wrestler reaches the ceiling he will have to work his way to the center by using the ceiling like monkey bars. I first came up with the match as a specialty for the cruiserweights. I figured this would be WWE's answer to the Ultimate X match only 10 times better.

Sorry my post was so long. Let me know what you think about the ideas.

Great ideas man. The Domination Match is something I had pictured before, but I didn't have a name for it. I was thinking "Round" something, since it reminds me a bit of a Round Robin tournament.

The Pyramid Match is another idea I had thought of, but I couldn't have pictured it as good as you made it sound. Making it one match instead of like a tournament is much better than my envisionment. Great work man.

The Tower is something original, and I like it. I've pictured matches where they have to climb along the roof to get to the title, but you idea sounds so brutal and dangerous.

I was trying to picture a match that could showcase the cruiserweights, but I could never hit gold. At one stage I was thinking something like a "Playhouse" match, with flying foxes and bars everywhere.

How does this sound (this is something pretty crap I just came up with on the spot)? A ring with giant polls for ring posts, but with ropes and turnbuckles all the way up. The winner is the first to climb up the 10 or so sets of ropes, and manages to call the title over. Maybe you can put a spin on things and have it like a Texas Bullrope Match, where you have to control all the top turnbuckles to win the title. You could even have pinfall or submission to eliminate wrestlers.

How about a match where there are either a lot of little rings (I'm thinking five), that are say, 6ft by 6ft. I don't know why, but I can easily see a cruiserweight springboarding off one side of the ring, hitting their legs on the opposite set of ropes, then flipping forward with a 450 Splash. You get eliminated if you are pinned or submit, and the last guy is the winner.

Another idea is a massive rectangular ring, which is made to look like six or eights rings put together (so let's say 60-80ft by 40ft, if that's possible, or maybe you can shrink them down a bit). You can then you have one set of ropes seperating the rings frome each other. It wouldn't only be good for cruiserweights, but you could use it for anybody. Maybe even have a tag team/singles tournament in the eight rings? LOL, it would sort of be like woodchopping. You could even have a little timer, and then on the DVD, you can release a close-ups of the matches. So say they have a PPV "Fully Loaded", you have 20 minutes or so with the eight ring action, then you have a Battle Royal (how great would a Royal Rumble type match in this sort of thing be?), and maybe have a cruiserweight match. You can then have ten interesting matches on the DVD, or just watch the three segments.

I've got some specialty matches, but no real original ideas not using a cage.

Thanks for the kind words, Alienoid06. I really like your last idea with the six or eight rings but I think it would eat up too much floor space. I can see it being a Royal Rumble style match having to get your opponent from one ring to another till you finally get them out of the ring(s) entirely. That would be frantic and crazy. I could deffinately see some interesting aerial moves.

I thought of another use for the EC if anybody wants to take a look.
Tag Team Elimination Chamber - Four Tag Teams involved. One man from each team is locked in a Chamber leaving one member of each team in the ring to start off the match. Just like usual the object in to eliminate your opponents. When one member of a team is eliminated the other member is eliminated automatically. The chambers will open a random just like in a regular EC match. Last team standing wins.

I've thought about a Tag Team Chamber, but I think they should make the chambers larger and have two members in each one. Or just have a member from one team start out with the member of another one, then release the team members one at a time (so no advantage is necissarily given). So on SmackDown! you could have:

-RVD and Doug Basham start.
-Luther Reigns comes in.
-Rey Mysterio gets in.
-Luther Reigns is eliminated.
-Mark Jindrak comes in.
-Danny Basham comes in.
-Rey Mysterio is eliminated.
-Doug Basham is eliminated.
-Mark Jindrak is eliminated.
-Danny Basham is eliminated
Winners: RVD & Rey Mysterio

I think you should limit it to three teams if you have them one at a time. I wouldn't mind seeing something like this, though:

-Rey Mysterio/Rob Van Dam & Eddie Guerrero/Booker T start.
-Mark Jindrak/Luther Reigns come in.
-The Basham Brothers come in.
-The Shane Twins come in.
-Mark Jindrak is eliminated.
-Hardcore Holly/Charlie Haas come in.
-Doug Basham is eliminated.
-Rey Mysterio is eliminated.
-Booker T is eliminated.
-Charlie Haas is eliminated.
-Hardcore Holly is eliminated.
-Danny Basham is eliminated.
-Eddie Guerrero is eliminated.
-A Shane Twin is eliminated.
-Luther Reigns is eliminated.
-Rob Van Dam is eliminated.
Winners: The Shane Twins.

It would be so clustered with something like this.

I agree my idea would take up way to much floor space, but I guess you could make it four rings arranged in a square, or even just do it at house show as a "WTF?" moment, to make people feel like something itneresting will happen if they go to a show. Maybe they could even just sell less tickets or something? The crowd would be hot regardless, and it would come off well on TV.

I'm probably dreaming, though.
