This thread is akin to 'match types you invented', but for like, something a wrestler can win, and/or even could use, like the Money In The Bank briefcase, which guarantees a World Title opportunity any time the winner wants.
(Or even ideas for championship titles you thought up.)
A few years after the MITB introduction, I came up with 'The Golden Contract' where the winner of said item could then, any time they wanted, make any one (1) match they wanted, involving any wrestler or wrestlers they wanted in the match. It could be for a title, if they chose to compete against a champion of a title, the title could be on the line in that match. And the match could be any special stipulation. So in theory, someone can use the contract to make an Elimination Chamber match where they themselves enter in the #6 slot and the defending champ must enter in the #1 slot. Or even a Royal Rumble match on an episode of the weekly TV program, where the contract owner and user enters at #30. (Although there are technically a couple of ground rules. 1: All competitors in the suggested match must be active wrestlers who aren't on any IR list. And 2: Any match must be approved by 1 figure of power or authority before it can begin (which I guess in theory could override rule #1).)

Not quite related, but when I was a little kid I'd play-wrestle with my father, with each of us acting out various WWF guys. At one point I was Hulk Hogan and he was Berzerker and we threw the match into a cage for the heck of it. My dad, on the fly, came up with the most brilliant finish possible for such a match: the cage door opens, and Berzerker does what he always does, which is take Hogan over and throw him to the floor. It kind of only works with Berzerker but it's a lost opportunity that the WWF never did this.
I also "invented" the shooting star press with my action figures, I think before I even knew what Japanese wrestling was.

When I was working I always wanted to do a stip I created which is ridiculously convoluted in hindsight.
Each wrestler would have the ability to change a match to no DQ rules for 3 minutes at any stage during the match, once each.
It opens all sorts of storytelling devices in my head. Guy on top in the match uses it to beat his opponent down. Guy losing uses it to even the odds. Do they use it at the start to gain the advantage early or later as a backup plan? A guy uses his and his opponent takes advantage then immediately calls for his own after the first 3 minutes is up. It has tonnes of potential.
But in execution would be a freaking nightmare.

I used to put my Hasbro WWF figures into a Crate and pretend they were in a cagematch Battle Royale called Rage in a Cage. At that time I had no idea what the Bunkhouse Stampede was so in my mind I invented that.

At that time I had no idea what the Bunkhouse Stampede was so in my mind I invented that. Did you know who King Kong Brody from AWA was by any chance?

The dumbest match I ever came up with was probably "Hell in a Hole".
You wrestled near a dug hole in the ground, then threw the other guy in, possibly with tables or some other kind of hazard at the bottom.
That was it. You don't even bury them like a Buried Alive match. Just, a pseudo-Scaffold match.

When I wrestled with my Ninja Turtle Figures, I used to do shows in my pool during the Summer. I would put the ring on a float. And then do a Match where the winner had to pin their opponent in the ring and then swim to the shore (my deck) to be declared the winner. All of the amphibious mutants did great in the match, the mammals not so much.

I had a couple of convoluted match ideas.
1) A multi-person match where each wrestler could only beat a specific opponent to win. Like a triple threat with wrestlers A, B, and C: A could only win by pinning/submitting B, B could only beat C to win, and C could only beat A.
2) Simultaneous matches. Two separate matches taking place in the same place at the same time, but only one ref. They could build drama by having the ref busy with one match when the other match has things like a pinfall, submission, or cheating happening. You could also have the wrestlers in the different matches temporarily team up or fight each other.

And #1 is pretty similar to, I think it was Breakdown 1998 where it was Austin v Undertaker v Kane, but Kane and Undertaker could only get a fall on Austin.

When I was a kid, I once did a show that was all cage matches. Every match. All simply because I was too lazy to take the cage off of my AWA ring. I wonder if the imaginary smart marks that followed my fake promotions shit over the idea like they did TNA 15 or so years later.

Used to line up my figures until I had a nice, divisible number -- usually 32. Then I'd roll RPG gaming dice (e.g., d4, then a d8) to randomly pick one of the 32 wrestlers. I'd randomly select his opponent the same way. They'd have a match.
Next match: Randomly pick two more wrestlers to face each other. Or sometimes it would be a three-way dance, or sometimes a fatal four-way. If my world or IC champion was one of the participants, it would automatically be a title match.
The novelty would be when wrestlers who had already competed (and were beaten up and tired) kept getting their numbers rolled and would have to go to the ring and wrestle again and again. This led to some funny squashes and miracle victories.

In my imaginary promotion in my head as a kid, I imagined a match where the time limit is 30 minutes, and the champion defends against three challengers.
Whoever can pin the champ is then interim champion, and whoever is champion at the end of the 30 minutes wins the title for year.
Similar to the scramble, and almost exactly like the hardcore title 4way from Smackdown on the PS1, except this one takes place in a cage with a roof, which I stole from the hell in a cell version that is in that game(wow I got a lot of inspiration from that game lol)
I even fantasy booked a match complete with two big crazy spots: after the cage door breaks open, one guy gets thrown off the top of the cage and through the ramp, which is one of the long ramps that extend to the ring. Then another guys falls into the announce table just like Vince did in the cage match.
I had an active imagination when it came to wrestling..

I THOUGHT I invented two moves but it turns out, they already existed. I was doing wrestling training at the time and was even planning on using them... The moves being these two...

One day in fall of 1995 I'm at the classroom daydreaming about wrestling. Suddenly I come up with a move, a sitout powerbomb, only with a double underhook added during the set up. After I get back from school I sit down to watch WWF Action Zone. Ahmed Johnson debuts and uses the exact same move to beat Rad Radford. Damn.

Was there ever a no ropes match?
All the rules apply ,except the rope ones because well... you don't have then. I didn't even it ,just thought about it now and was curious:P
I did come um with an idea where multiple teams face each other tornado eliminations style , except if your partner is you are still in.
the twist is at the end of the match the last 2 standing are the champions

My figures used to compete in the ultimate feud ending match. Hell in a Freezer. It was like a casket match where one guy would end up frozen solid for weeks until my mum discovered their frosty corpse. After which they'd return for revenge like a White Walker.
Warzone Match. Basically a match in a World War I style trenches with landmines, wooden Xs, barbed wire, trap doors, grenades, ejector seats, fences and planks.
