Homicide, it was during the Jan 4th episode of Impact when Hogan showed up. It was also blindingly orange and hard to see anything inside because of it... TNA had some really interesting gimmick matches. Especially when they try and reverse things... like the Reverse Battle Royale, The Reverse Steel Cage. Also Elevation X... They should try a Reverse Submission match. Yes, you have to make your opponent put a hold on you so you can submit first and win.

I hate strap matches, particularly where you have to touch all four corners before your opponent. Always the same finish, too, with the winner being flung into the fourth corner because the loser doesn't realize he was right behind him in each of the previous three.
Oh yeah, and Brawl for All.

WCW had some kind of match where Dustin Rhodes and somebody were wrestling on the back of a flatbed truck that was driving full speed down a highway. It didn't seem to me like they could really make an entertaining match and not die. Also, a sumo match with monster trucks seemed an odd choice.

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. You never know.....I said to my girlfriend, "You ever had sex with a woman?" She said "No". I said, "You should try it, it's fun." So she did, now she's gone. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}Steven Wright!

Not as dumb as some of the matches listed here but I don't care for scaffold matches or any match where someone is hung from a small cage.

Unfortunately whoever came up with that finish (the earliest example I can think of is the Sting-Nikita Koloff Russian Chain Match, any earlier examples?) kind of painted all strap/chain matches into this corner. Now if someone doesn't tap the corners as they're being dragged, they look like an idiot. The only way out of this is to have the winner beat the shit out of the loser so he can't do this or wrap him up with the strap/chain to immobilize his arms so he can't touch the corners.

The Bagwell/David Flair first blood match where Flair was using it so he could get a sample of Bagwell's blood and get a paternity test on his unborn child in Ms. Hancock's womb, which by the way is impossible.

A Ladder Match for the custody of Rey Mysterio's son. Though, I did enjoy the disappointment of the Two Best Friends that said match did not actually have him hanging at the top of the ladder, even if there is no way in hell they could legally pull that off.

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've always wondered how they got the ambulances. Do they rent them from an actual hospital or a prop company? I thought hospitals would be too busy to go letting WWE etc borrow ambulances. I don't think they'd get away with renting an ambulance from an NHS hospital in the UK!! I'm pretty sure there's an ambulance at all sporting events on standby. Some states actually require it.

only read the first page but didn;t TNA have a reverse steel cage match (or was it a reverse battle royale?) where everyone started on the outside and the winner was the first one to get into the ring/cage.

It was called "Steel Asylum" the cage was bright orange. Homicide couldn't get out of it and was stuck at the top... he dropped down and started hitting people with a baton for a DQ (in the cage match...) But it was Jeff Hardy that was sitting on top of the cage for no reason.

Yeah I thought of that but just think its quite odd that the medical authority in that state would allow it to be used for an angle/match/part of the show. I dread to think that anyone that had to go to the hospital at last years Payback would have to wait until Cena vs. Ryback was over...

This is probably a repeat post of mine but I haven't stated it in a couple of years at least. WWE/WWF Steel Cage matches. "Hey, I hate your guts! I hate you so much! What is the most extreme way to express what I want to do to you? I've got it, Steel Cage Match! And the way Im going to gain my vengeance upon you, you bastard, is to RUN AWAY FROM YOU! I'm the man!!!" The very mention of Vince-brand cage matches makes me way more mad than it should. But I hate that idea for victory on levels than mere words can't express. It's a freaking joke. Yoshi Tatsu figure on a pole match from NXT Season 5. It was surprisingly good though. Hahahahaha! That sounds amazing.

I'm pretty sure that it will be a prop ambulance hired from a theatrical vehicles supplier. As a) wrestling around a real ambulance with sharps, defib machines, oxygen tanks could be dangerous and is less than sanitary. Also really expensive if the wrestlers break something. b) what happens if there's a serious injury in the match preceding the ambulance match? Have a 'Let's wait for the Ambulance to get back to the arena' Match?

First Blood Steel Cage Matches where you can win by pinfall.
I'm looking at you Hogan/Flair!
