 What's good, George Boar Ross back again with another video. So I'm going to check out 10 WWE gimmick matches that should never see the light of day. Not all the time does WWE come up with a interesting gimmick match that actually works and actually has people wanting to see more of it. Sometimes they come up with gimmick matches that are just completely nonsensical and should never ever see the light of day. We're going to check out some of those instances where those gimmick matches just have never been created. Appreciate all of the support. Let's get right into this one. There have been some iconic match types throughout WWE history from the Hell in a Cell match to the TLC match. These matches are incredibly popular with fans and I so beloved that WWE even turned these match types into their own pay-per-view beginning in 2009. Nevertheless, there are also some match types that are truly awful and the majority of the fan base hoped they never returned. These match types usually insult the viewer's intelligence and have less than sell a track record when it comes to producing great matches.

Number 10, The Stairs Match. A 2014 TLC pay-per-view was rebranded for one year only as tables, ladders, chairs and stairs. The Stairs addition into the pay-per-view name was added because one match on the pay-per-view card would be the first time ever, Stairs Match. Yeah, sounds incredible. The Big Show collided with Eric Rowan in the match and to put it politely, it wasn't good. They'd never been desired from fans to see a match dedicated to Stairs, mainly because they are a common feature of most matches and even throwing an opponent into them doesn't usually result in a DQ. Big Show and Rowan did the best they could with the bizarre stipulation but the match failed to meet WWE's expectations. They clearly expected the stipulation to take off but this was the first and only Stairs match in WWE history that's extremely unlikely that the match type will ever return again. No more. Number 9, The Swamp Fight. When the COVID-19 pandemic shook the world, WWE were forced to change the way they conducted their business. Due to no fans being in attendance for Raw Smackdown and their pay-per-view events, they would introduce fans to cinematic matches. Some of these cinematic matches were better than others. Notably, the Boneyard match between Taker and Stiles was acclaimed by many but some matches just fell short. The 2020 Horror Show Extreme Rules event was headlined by Bray Wyatt vs Braun Strowman. This wouldn't be a standard 1v1 match up as it would be the first time ever Swamp Fight. While some fans praised WWE for doing something new, a lot of fans believed that this match type didn't warrant a main event position on the pay-per-view. The match itself was shot like a movie and it featured cameos from Alexa Bliss and the Wyatt Family member version of Strowman. It failed to connect like other cinematic matches and hopefully WWE will never revisit the unique match speculation ever again. Number 8, The Eye for an Eye Match. Speaking of the 2020, this match was so f***ing infuriating. Talented wrestlers like Seth, Enrae, should not be just subjected to doing dumb, nonsensical, makes no absolute sense whether you type it and put it on paper or actually put it into motion. Someone should have said, hey, this ain't it. An eye for an eye match where your opponent has to take out your eye for them to win. Just stupid. Money horror show at Extreme Rules, The Swamp Fight wasn't the only gimmick that debuted on the show. Arch rivals Rey Mysterion said Rollins competed in an eye for an eye match. This match could be won when the eye of an opponent was extracted. Yeah, literally. This was a rather sinister match for a PG product and WWE actually used prosthetics to make it seem like Mysterious Eye was actually removed. Mysterion Rollins had tremendous chemistry in the ring but the stipulation was just too much and a standard Street Fighter steel cage match would have sufficed that it's highly probable that the eye for an eye match remains retired but you never know. One day, WWE could decide to book the sequel to one of the most infamous matches of the modern era. Number 7, Kiss My Ass Match. The Kiss My Ass Match type has been used a number of times throughout WWE history. Perhaps the most notable time it was used was back in 1999 at the Summer Slam pay-per-view. The Rock took on Billy Gunn but the match type added very little to the match itself. The match has even been used in the PG era as two former world champions in Seamus and Dolph Ziggler competed in the match type at the 2015 Extreme Rules pay-per-view. This match didn't work for a PG audience and the WWE were evidently reluctant to follow through on the stipulation of a wrestler kissing another wrestler behind. The problem with the match is that it creates a booking problem as someone is always going to look insanely weak and embarrassed so it's best to avoid the match all costs. Number 6, Zombie Lumberjack Match. A lot of these are pandemic matches, bro. I get it and I appreciate WWE for trying something different but you a zombie lumberjack match, bro. I get used trying to promote for the movie with I think Batista was in the movie. I think I ain't enough actually seeing that movie. It wasn't that bad but bro what are we doing? This is just so bad. It's so bad. Oh my god. To promote the army of the dead Netflix movie, WWE did something special for their 2021 WrestleMania backlash pay-per-view. They would have Damian Priest and the Miz compete in a zombie lumberjack match. The match would be a standard lumberjack match but on the outside of the ring instead of wrestlers there would be actual zombies. This match received insanely negative reviews from fans as well as critics such as Dave Meltzer, one of the stars of the movie Batista even told fans to stop tweeting him about the match. What the fuck you telling me? You think I book a bunch of fucking zombies? I'm on a damn plane. You be tweeting bitch. Hey Dave I love you but this zombie shit on WWE backlash show. Dave was like why you tweet me? Why you tweet me? You think I book a bunch of fucking zombies? That was, I'm good man. I'm good. That was, that was fucking fantastic. Match and informed them to tweet Vince McMahon if they didn't like it. It's unlikely that the match will ever be brought back. However they reportedly paid a healthy sum to promote the movie in this manner and with the army of dead two planned it wouldn't be out of the question that we see a second installment of the zombie lumberjack match. Number five, blindfold match. On the surface a blindfold match is an exciting concept. Two wrestlers where their vision removed can in theory create a hilarious matchup. However when it becomes obvious after seeing one of the two of these matches in WWE that the wrestlers could clearly see out of the blindfolds the magic is lost. The concept doesn't work if everyone is aware of the secret behind the match and WWE have been reserved in using the match type over the past decade but that doesn't mean that they won't ever bring it back. If the match type is ever brought back it needs to be tweaked or a modern day WWE audience isn't going to like what they're seeing. Number four, the kennel from hell match. On the unforgiving pay-per-view in 1999 saw WWE debut their most infamous match ever. Al Snow and the big boss man would face off in a kennel from hell match. This match saw a steel cage getting closed by a hell in a cell and that ringside was supposedly savage dogs ready to tear the wrestlers apart. The match was a total disaster as the dogs themselves began to defecate and mate on the outside of the ring and this sinister matchup quickly turned into one of the funniest matchups ever. During an interview with inside the ropes Al Snow would discuss the dreaded match and this is what he had to say. The match will never return to WWE but to even know it may one day show up in the WWE video game installment. Number three, pole matches. The whole match that every wrestling company including WWE have failed to master is its matches involving an object on a pole. Whether the match be a kendo stick or a contract on a pole match they are usually massive let downs. One of the problems with the match is that they can be rather anticlimactic as there is a lot of stalling and wrestlers don't have weapons as they would in a TLC match to provide exciting spots. WTW's use of the pole match is also a big reason where the match is universally hated as Vince Russo has a habit of using the match in the most unusual ways possible. Nevertheless, WWE have struggled to master the match and even when they use the match type on pay-per-view in 2017 for Bayley's match with Alexa Bliss the match was so bad that it almost completely destroyed Bayley's entire character and persona. Number two, chairs match. In 2009 for their inaugural TLC pay-per-view, WWE would debut the chairs match. The rules of the chairs match stated that the steel chairs are the only legal weapon in the match and due to WWE being a PG product this limited what wrestlers could do as chair shots to the head was strictly prohibited. The first chairs match would be between Batista and the Undertaker and the match was incredibly awkward as a concept just didn't work. There have been several chairs matches over the past decade and the majority of them have been terrible. The concept simply didn't translate well and nobody was ever crying out for a gimmick specific match relating to a steel chair. And number one, the Punjabi prison match. The Punjabi prison is one of the most unique structures in WWE history but the match type itself has resulted in some downright awful pay-per-view matches. The concept was first used in 2006 and the Punjabi prison features two bamboo cages and the first wrestler to escape the two cages wins the match. The match type is confusing but it also lacks a sense of brutality that was needed for a match type of this nature. Additionally, one of the major flaws in the match was that it was notoriously hard for fans and attendants to see what was going on meaning that all three of the Punjabi prison matches have been met with a lukewarm response. The last time they used the concept was back in 2017 and the match was heavily panned by fans so it would be nonsensical for them to bring back the match type. All three of the Punjabi prison matches have been linked to the great Kali in some way and with Kali being out of the WWE for a number of years hopefully the Punjabi prison match remains retired for good but they have it folks. My number one pick still would be that eye-for-eye match because that's just, you know, sneering in right quote-unquote almost lost his eye. It was a fake eyeball. It was just awful. And then close second would probably be, it's either that one or you could choose the zombie one, the zombie lumberjacks. That's just, all right, that's turn off your TV inducing bad. Like get this shit off my screen man. So comment down below. Let me know what other gimmick matches do you feel like should never be seen on WWE television ever again and would you replace the number one spot even though the Punjabi prison matches they've never been good or what not the concept and how it looks looks cool but in execution it usually doesn't work that way. So that's why I would rearrange some of these matches to be number one whether it's the eye-for-eye match or the zombie lumberjack match. They would probably be number one on my list or equally as bad but I appreciate all of them support world 250k and I'm still here to speak to you to present ship of the world. Appreciate y'all kicking me. See y'all next one. Peace.
