Dumbest gimmick matches

By Scott Keith on 7 December 2020


Notwithstanding the Russo "on a pole" matches, what’s your least favorite type of gimmick matches? I always thought the Texas Death Match was dumb, despite the great sounding name. Repeatedly pinning somebody, then making them answer a 10-count seems to destroy the significance of a pinfall.

Any strap or chain match where the object is to touch all four corners to win. Why not just pick some other arbitrary bullshit condition, like having to do the hokey-pokey and first one to turn themselves around wins?
