Forgotten/unused gimmick matches
So i'm watching old ECW matches and just saw the Mexican death match between Mysterio and Psicosis, after each pinfall whoever took the pin has to answer a 10 count or lose the match, not sure if it was a one off match but ive never seen it before/since and thought it could work today, maybe. So basically what other gimmick matches from days gone by do you think could or should be reintroduced, aside from Wargames.

I have vague recollections of the 'double jeopardy' match from ECW,2 seperate matches happening at once in the same ring,always thought that was a cool concept.

I was thinking if it came back then it would be in TNA,which probably isnt a good thing.

The Cruiserweight Open was a weird Gauntlet match. All of the guys were around the ring and they went in a certain order until every man had been defeated but 1.
Have they done another one of these since then? Tag Team Turmoil was a similar concept that always was a good match. |

I'm noticing that all of the matches mentioned here were awful for the most part and should remain confined to history.

The Kennel From Hell and Tower of Doom were already mentioned. Let's face it, this threat strapped a rocket to the shark and shot it to the moon.

TNA had their "Elevation X" matches a few years back. Which were basically scaffold matches. I remember at least two. I remember actually enjoying them. I mean, they were terrible "wrestling" matches, but the "story" of the danger and the height was cool.
