Crazy/offensive gimmick match ideas

[Guest JMA]

There has been a long history of crazy and/or offensive gimmick matches. Have you ever thought of any? Here are some of mine.

 

Flag Burning Match-A no DQ, falls count anywhere match. The loser will have his or her flag set on fire (and no one can interfere).

 

Glass Ceiling Ladder Match-A normal ladder match with one exception--a thin panel of glass is over the ring. The panel blocks the challenger from gaining access to the title. The only way to win the match is to break through the panel and grab the title.

 

Do you have any crazy and/or offensive gimmick match ideas?

In my e-fed a few years ago, a couple of the guys convinced me to sign a "Hand Blade-Hell In A Cell-Inferno-TLC-Flaming Tables-C4-Total Destruction-Scaffold-1st Broken Bone-Weapons-Barb Wire-Anywhere Falls-Death Match"...straight from the card: "To win, you must cut your opponent with a hand blade, toss him off of the Scaffold, break one of his bones, put him through a flaming table and bleed him until he loses consciousness"

 

I think the most unusual matches I've ever come up with on my own were a First Break match (first person to seriously break a bone loses the match) and a "Degeneration Next Match"...which is basically a ladder match on top of a 30 foot scaffold (which, thinking back, was probably the DUMBEST idea for a match I ever came up with).

Highway To Hell: Flaming tables surround the ring and to win all tables must be broken and then put your opponent threw a flaming pyramid of hell 3 tables, 2 tables, 1 table to win.

 

FMW did a "Exploding Anus " match I won't give details, but let's just say it came from the "Fuyuki Era" that ended up killing off FMW so that right there should tell you what happened.

That would never work in execution, but that's a really neat concept. How symbolic.

I think it could work well, if done right. Although, it would probably fit in better with a hardcore promotion. It would probably have to be fleshed out more.

I think they did a match in Japan once with Barb wire ropes, some light tubes, and a salt-covered ring. Ouch!

I had a similar idea in my head. An ironman type match, except instead of scoring by pinfalls, you get a point for a table spot. Obviously, you'd keep it down to 15 minutes maximum.

Triple Threat Iron Man Match...

 

 

That isn't Crazy or anything...Just a gimmick that hasn't been used yet...(mainstream that is)...

 

Something that vince will find offensive...

 

A Wrestling Mat.

No that was CZW.

 

It was "Sick" Nick Mondo vs. The Wifebeater in the finals of the Tournament of Death(I'm going to the 2nd one on the 26th) It had barbed wire, 200 Lightubes surronded the ring and Mondo brought salt in the ring(They already had cts from their pevious matches mind you) the final spot was Beater hitting Mondo in the gut with a weedwhacker.

[Guest the 1inch punch]

Well, first of all, the "legendary" Catch as Catch Can match from Souled Out 2000, Dean Malenko vs Kidman, where you cant leave the ring and Dean-o fucked up and left, could be brilliant if done right.

 

A match done in a Sumo ring would be interesting, psychology wise

From an e-fed match listing:

 

Holy Wars

Originator: Overlord

 

The top ten contenders to the world title (Minus the champ and whoever is fighting him that night) all start the match. It starts with a hell in a cell cage two guys start in the ring and it goes by royal rumble rules. There are a whole lot of weapons and tables inside and under the ring to use. The match goes in rounds, each round elimination is caused by a different stipulation. The first round the only way to eliminate your oponent is to put them through a table. Round 2 elimination by pinfall and round three is by submition only. Round one starts when the bell rings, round 2 starts when 5 wrestlers have been eliminated and round three starts when only 2 people are left.

 

Flaming Hell in the Cell:

Originator: Buzzsaw

 

A HIAC where the bars are wrapped in cloth, have kerosine poured on them and are lit on fire.

 

Crucifixion Death Match:

Originator: Overlord

 

Surrounding the ring are firestones (Hot coals). The only way to win is to chain your opponent's hands and feet to a man sized cross. That is hanging down at the top of the ramp. After the loser has been crucified, a wire raises the cross up in the air for all to see.

 

Burned At the Stake Match

Originator: NPWA, Chris Hebert

 

Placed on platform outside of the ring is a large wooden stake. The winner must tie the loser to it before setting his oponent on fire.

 

 

And one for the ladies...

 

Triple Dip Tubs Of Ice Cream Match

 

A number of tubs of different flavored ice cream (like kiddy pools of them) are scattered around just outside the ring. The girls will be wearing bikinis and the object is for one of them to put their opponent into three different flavors of ice cream. Whoever does so wins the match. No countouts or pinfalls but their still can be a disqualification.

Silly me for thinking a flaming table match was pretty riskay.

From the SJL:

 

Damnation in a Box

 

Rules: The match takes place in a hell in a cell setup, with barbed wire wrapped around it. C4 explosive is also attached to the cell, causing a small explosion with each collision. At the top of the cell, there are weapons that will fall to the ring every 3 minutes, and be legal. The match can be won through pinfall, submission, a 10 count, or the opponent losing consciousness.

*Points to himself*

 

The man that brought you that match and won. It was an e fed, but hey.

 

Other ones from the SWF/SJL

 

Glass Ceiling Match: Ring ropes removed, Glass Tables all around the ring from apron to barrier, no gapes. Barrier counts as the ropes, No DQ, pinfalls/submissions on ring or the tables.

 

No Gravity: Tame but fun, hit 5 top rope moves to win.

A couple of other "creative" matches I came across after reading through some of my e-fed's archives.

 

We had a bunch of Flaming Cell matches, but for the first one took place in the parking lot, where the Cell and ring were elevated on about 30 feet of scaffolding with about 9 or 10 tables stacked up underneath. The match ended with someone being tossed from the top rope, through the floor of the cell and through all 10 tables.

 

One of the guys lost their title after being run down by a car in a hardcore match, so I signed a Vehicular Assault Match between those two...the rules are pretty simple: first person to run his opponents over win the match.

 

We had a Mile High Match once...took place in an airplane...the match itself was a draw, so I ended up having both guys fall out of the plane and die. Gotta love e-feds!

 

There was a Towering Inferno Match...wasn't my idea, but it's a version of a flaming cell match where the wrestlers have to try and climb to the top of the cell and pull a lever that turns off the flames, and the first person to do it is the winner.

I've often thought you could get a neat match with this premise:

 

Hang a belt up, like in a ladder match, but don't provide a ladder. When the bell rings, or at a pre-set time, the belt is slowly lowered to the ground. Once it's low enough, the first guy to physically make it out of the building with the belt is the winner.

 

It probably would've worked best with the WWF Hardcore title, and a number of guys (Like, 10 or so) so it could just degenerate into guys randomly beating each other up all throughout the building. You know, like a regualr Hardcore title match, only with a reason for it.

I thought about this for a while, and I came up with one I think might work. It's REALLY outrageous, though. Here's how it would work:

 

You have a mat, with four corners and a post at each one. You have three big ropes connecting the posts, making a ring. It would look something like this:

 

I-----I

I___I

 

The two guys stand in the ring, and they wrestle. In order to win, you have to pin the other guy, or make him submit to a hold. Also, hitting someone with a weapon will cause a disqualification, and staying outside the ring for more than 10 seconds will get you counted out.

 

You could call it a "wrestling match", or something along those lines. It's radical, I know, but I've heard some of the feds in Japan use it sometimes. Might have worked in ECW.

Sarcasm is the ignorant man's weapon...keep up the good work!

This isn't as much offensive as an idea I'd like to see. Have the ring encased by an apron high steel floor like in the Elimination Chamber. The steel floor would be five feet in width all around the ring. Attached to that would be a cage with no roof. It would be pinfall, submission, or TKO. This could allow for some neat spots near the ropes, and something I'd personally love to see would be maybe Benoit jumping from the cage, over the turnbuckles or ropes into a headbutt into the ring.

[Guest netslob]

i always thought it would be cool to replace the ring ropes with chains...probably wouldn't work, tho.

[Guest Plushy Al Logan]

I came up with a Dungeon of Doom cage which combines Hell In a Cell, Kennel in a Cell, Wargames, Elimination Chamber, and the Uncensored cage. The idea was scrapped after I was booted out of my e-fed.
