What is your favourite gimmick match ever?

Quite simple - what is your favourite gimmick that you have the privilege of seeing?

Feel free to list any that I have forgotten!

Kiss my foot match?
Paddle on a pole match?
Evening Gown match?

the pirannha deathmatch

gotta hold someones head in a box of pirannah's for 10 seconds to win

Mop on a pole match with Perry Saturn?

Fans bring the Weapons match

Hard 10 match (points awarded for use of weapons, first to 10 points wins!)

Taipei Deathmatch (hands are taped. glued and covered in broken glass)

Crazy 8 match (trampolenes & rope swings!)

I voted for the Punjabi prison match, partly because i don't remember many if any of the others. Can anyone tell me what the triple cage match is? Sounds awesome.

You should check out the good housekeeping match for the IC title - genius!

I cannot view those at work, i will check them when i'm home later Hobo and Fernando, cheers. What did it involve though?

My Favourite would have to be the ken shamrock handicap match where he fought in a straight-jacket and still managed to choke out his opponent!!

The one's I hate are the blindfold matches, really what is the point there?

This is a thread to discuss the best gimmick matches in wrestling history. I am not talking about the type of match ie Hell in A Cell, Cage but I am more looking to see your views on what were the best matches that involved a gimmick. Be it for a crazy spot, or the feud before the match.

My favourite gimmick match will always be the Triangle TLC match at Wrestlemania X7. So many insane spots, especially with Edge spearing Hardy from about 20 foot in the air. These three tag teams feuds were so good and this match was just one of several brilliant matches these guys had.


Over to you and look forward to seeing what you come up with.

In my opinion TLC I at Summerslam 2000 (its on WWEO btw) was better than the second version.

The 6-man hell in a cell match at Armageddon 2000 comes to mind for me. Maybe because I was young and impressionable, but it has always stuck with me.

The 2000 Royal Rumble 'street fight' between HHH and Cactus Jack was another that I recall. Gutted when Cactus Jack got beaten.

Punjabi Prison match was ruined by Khali being unable to compete and Big show stepping in

Table & Ladders & Chairs - Oh My!

The Hardys, Dudleys and E&C produced some of best performances I've seen in all my time watching wrestling.

I don't think there will ever be another group of people that could pull off a TLC match as entertaining as the above mentioned people.

Didn't Bulldog & Shamrock have a match were the loser had to eat Dog Food?

Mountie vs Bossman jailhouse match!

I voted for the Punjabi Prison match, in all seriousness I didn't actually think it was a bad concept. It didn't work, but the concept was alright.

The Hell in a Cell matches where brilliant before they elevated the Cell roof and the no blood rule, those are matches that definitely do need colour and I've always been a fan of tie Ladder Match
