All the gimmick matches we love

Nothing is better than the good old Hair vs Hair match.

wow man youre right. I used to mark for those back when the NWA did them. Very cool matches. Very common south of the border now though.

The last hair vs hair match I remember in the States was the one at the WOW PPV last year, which is amazing that I remember anything from that thing. It was kinda obvious who was gonna lose, three chicks with long hair and one with short hair limits the odds.

I miss the 2/3 falls matches that don't involve a different gimmick in each fall.  Just straight to the point.  I think that's why I like Lucha so much.

Also the "I Quit" matches were kick ass especially in a cage.  Lethal Lottery would be great for the WWF's tag division plus they were fun to watch.

I miss regular battle royals they rarely have them anymore. They have the royal rumble every year but that's it they rarely have any regular 20 men over the top rope battle royal.  By the way is it battle royal or battle royale?

Thanks.

Battle Royals were cool.  Back then there were just a way to get all the jobbers onto the show.  Now we have heat and jakked.

Well if it was up to me I rather have battle royals than WWF Heat and WWF Jakked/Metal.Actually I enjoy watching those shows sometimes because it's like watching old school wrestling again.

Thanks.

i think the appeal of battle royals stems from the fact the wwf hasn't overused it in it's history.  i remember the odd battle royal would appear on some coliseum home videos but the wwf didn't start running one on every show which is surprising to me.

I think it would be cool if the WWF did some sort of Battle Bowl type of thing.It would be a cool nowadays to put different teams together and they never use double rings anymore.

Thanks.

I really miss those hair vs mask/hair matches.  Also, where are the cowbell matches where they had a cowbell tied to the middle of the rope both wrestlers were tied to and they could basically beat the snot out of each other with it.  Dusty Rhodes was the king in those.  Also, Russian Chaim Matches were cool, especially with Ivan Koloff as the participant.  And dont forget the submission matches where both wrestlers had to beat the other in their submission moves ala Billy Jack vs Superstar Graham with the full nelson (?) or David Von Erich vs Blackjack Mulligan with the claw hold.  

Most recent though is the lethal lottery and War Games!!!

Oh man one of the greatest strap matches of all time was Sting Vs. Vader for the WCW Tite at WCW SuperBrawl III.

Thanks.
