The Worst Gimmick Match of All Time

**CWK** · 10-06-2009, 03:09 AM

Vote for the worst gimmick match of all time.

**Verbose Minch** · 10-06-2009, 03:27 AM

No Kennel from Hell match?

**CWK** · 10-06-2009, 03:29 AM

There were some matches I felt didn't need to be on the list as they have had a good history such as...

TLC
Ladder Match
Hell in a Cell

I put the royal rumble match on the list because a majority of them have sucked bad. Just my opinion.

I wouldn't dare put the jailhouse match with big boss man vs. mountie on there. It was a pretty decent match that the crowd was very into. The footage of the mountie being taken to/put in jail afterwards was genius comedy.

**Sixx** · 10-06-2009, 03:42 AM

I can't wait for TNA to have a Royal Rumble in a cage.

**Rammsteinmad** · 10-06-2009, 04:12 AM

Pole Match.

Dammit nothing is worse than watching two 'athletes' struggle to climb a turnbuckle five minutes into a match.

**Tazz Dan** · 10-06-2009, 07:42 AM

Ironman match

**St. Jimmy** · 10-06-2009, 07:43 AM

No King of the Mountain match?

**EDWARD** · 10-06-2009, 08:40 AM

any vince russo match

**Nicky Fives** · 10-06-2009, 08:50 AM

I would have voted for Kennel From Hell, but I went with King Of The Road..... TNA's reverse Battle Royal was horrible as well..... Vince Russo's 'creative genius' still amazes me..... long live the days of "Judy Bagwell On a Forklift" Matches

**Hanso Amore** · 10-06-2009, 09:52 AM

Team Challenge Series is by far the worst, as it was not a single match, but a series of horrible TV.

Who the fuck voted for Lethal Lottery? That is actually one of the few good things to come out of Mid 90s WCW.

**Phenomenal 1** · 10-06-2009, 09:55 AM

I voted for the Chamber of Horrors match.....WCW was so fake and so generic at the time......you could tell how bad the timing was in this match when Mick Foley had to keep looking over to the chair looking for the spot where Rick Steiner does the belly to belly on Abdullah the Butcher into the chair before he pulled the switch....not to mention the switch fell down during the match right on camera and Cactus pulled it early....one of the worst matches in wrestling history.

The only reason I voted for this match is you didn't include what I consider to be the worst match off all time....The Cage of Doom....WCW only did it once...where it was the Alliance to end Hulkamania vs Team Hogan....basically the Dungeon of Doom and Four Horseman vs Hogan and Savage.....so shitty....and the finish sucked where Booty Man (Beefcake) tosses them frying pans they hit the dudes and walk out of the cage....boring finish and the spots in the match were worked for shit...What do expect out of Hogan or Savage...nothing more and nothing less...

**Phenomenal 1** · 10-06-2009, 09:58 AM

and By the way whoever voted for a texas bullrope match is a choade.....guess you didn't see Mid South or Championship Wrestling from Georgia in the 80's when the match originated on television for the first time...some of the best matches and who could forget JBL vs Eddie Guerrero at the GAB 2004....that was epic and probably JBL's best match ever in his singles careeer.

Oh and if you vote for Ultimate X...ur a choade mark as well

Its not that Lethal lottery was a shitty concept....the way WCW pulled it off was shitty....they had zero depth to their talent roster at the time...

First ever Lethal Lottery Match was Marcus Alexander Bagwell and Tommy Rich vs Ricky Morton and El Gigante.....tell me in 1991 you knew who Marcus Bagwell and El Gigante were.....yeah right....

**Kami Raki** · 10-06-2009, 10:00 AM

The pole match.

Seriously. And I still put this one over the Cage of Doom match because it involved a FUCKING ELECTRIC CHAIR.

Yeah, it was actually a concept that could be pulled off quite well if WCW hadn't been hellbent to destroy it with shitty-ass booking.

Ultimate X is probably the best concept TNA ever came up with.

**DaveBrawl** · 10-06-2009, 10:48 AM

No blindfold match?

Of the list though, I'm gonna go with King Of the Road match with pole match a close second for the same reason Rammsteinmad said.

**SuperSlim** · 10-06-2009, 11:15 AM

Where is the Punjabi cage match or something it's called with the bamboo poles and stuff.

I think it would have been a tie for me between that one and the Kennel

**Droford** · 10-06-2009, 11:15 AM

Chamber of Horrors easily

Electric Chair + Cage Match = dumb

**Nark Order** · 10-06-2009, 12:19 PM

Where's Judy Bagwell on a pole match?

**Hanso Amore** · 10-06-2009, 12:41 PM

SO maybe I will give you the first Lethal Lottery, but Lethal Lottery 96 was the shit with DDP winning. A few bad opening matches does not make the entire deal bad.

Look at how many shitty scrubs were in KOTR qualifying matches throughout the years...shit, Mabel won the shit.

**BigDaddyCool** · 10-06-2009, 12:46 PM

Judy Bagwell on a poll.

**screech** · 10-06-2009, 12:59 PM

No Sumo Monster Truck Match?

Picking from the list, pole match.

**kareru** · 10-06-2009, 01:35 PM

the triple cage match was a good idea, its just a shame that russo booked it, nice bump by kanyon though

I loved that match when I was a kid. I haven't seen it since though.

**thedamndest** · 10-06-2009, 03:39 PM

Seeing Casket Match on the list reminded me what a terrible idea the Coffin Match was. It was Undertaker v. Kamala at Wembley and it was a regular match in that you had to gain a pinfall, except then you proceeded to painstakingly nail the coffin lid shut to actually win the match.

**El Fangel** · 10-06-2009, 03:44 PM

King of the Clusterfuck (Mountain)

**The Jayman** · 10-06-2009, 06:09 PM

pole match

**Chavo Classic** · 10-06-2009, 07:15 PM

Who voted Ultimate X? They should be perma-banned

**The Ravishing One** · 10-06-2009, 07:54 PM

Worst would be Kennel from hell match. But worst from the list would have to be hogpen match.

**The Ravishing One** · 10-06-2009, 07:56 PM

Whats the point in wrestling infront of some pigs and craving a slope fetish for some weirdos.

Wow that'll really settle a feud*

**The Ravishing One** · 10-06-2009, 07:56 PM

*sarcasm

**Skippord** · 10-06-2009, 07:57 PM

I voted Hogpen because it's a dumb idea

**Ruien** · 10-06-2009, 09:42 PM

That match with Hogan and Savage vs like 10 people. There was 3 floors and such, ya it was bad.

**Executioner** · 10-06-2009, 09:50 PM

Chamber of Horrors..no contest. Shitty concept, shitty execution.

Lethal Lottery is one of the best concepts ever. Totally agree with Hanson. WWE needs to bring it back.
