What is the Stupidest "Gimmick Match" you've ever seen?

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Wait, one sec

Ok now we can start this Thread

Though Russo Booked Matches will probably be a popular choice here, there ARE some other Gimmick Matches that we've seen that didn't even need Russo's involvement to happen, and are just overall for wrestling, a very stupid premise. Whether it be an out of nowhere gimmick match on a card, an actual hyped up one that just fails on all accounts, or a whole night revolving around a Special Theme (Remember the Monday Night Football RAW? I do...), and basically, matches that have happened in wrestling that just made us go "What were they thinking? Was this really a smart idea on paper??", in any case, it happened and we all let it happen 

But what is the worst one you've ever seen? If you remember the competitors, feel free to include them to remind them of the shame of being included in it.

I guess they can't all be winners, like the Bread Eating Deathmatch (Yes that's an actual thing, I think the Japan DDT Promotion did it)

dog poop match. was there even a kayfabe explanation for why The Rock and Davey Boy felt they had to have THAT match?

[Can you afford to pay me, Gah]

I have to say the dog poop match tops my list. In the WWE I also say the evening gown match between Patterson and Brisco.

WCW had some bad ones too. Like the match where you leave the ring you dqed that Malenko lost because he forgot the rules which was silly to begin with. Chambers of horrors just so cheesy pulled off.

Cause Smith was the British BullDOG

That one where Booker T and Jarret had to bust up boxes around the ring ranks up there for me

[keezy]

Yoshi Tatsu figure on a pole match from NXT Season 5. It was surprisingly good though.

Hell in a Kennel has to be considered, the dogs added nothing to the match and I am not even sure how they could have.

It did give us this classic moment though

Yeah, and the Dogs apparently were pissing and crapping at ringside, and when they were expected to attack the guy, they either ran away or looked like they were playing with them

In hindsight, if you got vicious dogs to begin with, you're looking at Maiming the guys competing so either way I don't know what they were thinking with that one

For a relatively common gimmick match, the Ambulance Match is beyond stupid. I hate you so much, that the only way to end this is for me to beat you to within an inch of your life and then insure that you immediately receive high level medical care so that you can make a speedy and complete recovery.

Tuxedo Match. Good if you like mens butts but come on.

Well unless they paid the driver to drive the Ambulance into the ocean or something while the other guy was unconscious in the back, that would have made for some high drama

The thing that gets me about Ambulance Matches is, what hospital would agree to be party to something so stupid? They kind of need all hands on deck when it comes to their ambulances.

"Hello, 911? I need an ambulance, my father is having a heart attack!"

"I'm sorry you're going to have to wait, a demon told a pro wrestler to embrace the hate but he said no so the demon dragged his friend to hell and now they're having a fight that only ends when one of them puts the other inside the ambulance."

I think a Stretcher Match also has to be talked about here

Put your Opponent on nice soft padding, and roll him UP a ramp, across a finish line to win

Essentially a Stretcher Match is a Budget Cut Ambulance Match...

I generally like gimmick matches, but the "Dominick on a pole," viagra on a pole, and the dog poop match were the worst I've ever heard of.

no mention of the Punjabi Prison match yet?

 Compared to the Dog Kennel Match listed above that was a Masterpiece to me... however still bad considering the only guy they based it around had basically no talent...   

[Pipe_Bomb2k13]

Isn't the Dog Kennel and Punjabi Prison essentially the same match/rules without the dogs.

It had a similar premise, but Punjabi was different in design due to it being basically made of Kendo Sticks... 

In retrospect I would have preferred the Dogs to Khali.

I also find the classic "If I win I get your girlfriend for a week" type matches to be pretty stupid. Sure, it can amp up the drama a bit, but I can think of few real men who would wager their girlfriend on the outcome of a fist fight, and even fewer women who would actually go along with it.
