The only casket match I know of that hasn't involved the Undertaker was Fenix/Mil Muertes from Lucha Underground. ...Holy poo poo Darby Allin could become the new casket match guy. He's already up to body bags. ChrisBTY fucked around with this message at 10:41 on Dec 9, 2019 |

Jerusalem posted:Yeah I dug the Scramble Match too, but they completely hosed up trying to explain it (not helped by making poor Mike Adamle call it) since you weren't champion unless you ENDED the match with the last pinfall/submission, but they expressed it so it seemed like you were getting like 4 or 5 different champions through the course of a single match. Scrambles sound like a delightful, nonsensical mess. This blog post makes fun of them and I liked it even though I've never seen a Scramble. click here

I'm always going to be a sucker for any match type where the victory conditions don't involve the standard pinfall / submission stop, because it means that competitors get a chance to find more interesting things to do. To this end I'm going to say "feast or fired" as my favourite currently unused gimmick format. The matches rarely turned out great, but there was so much room for shenannigans

There was a lucha match in southern California in the early 90s that no one taped because everyone who usually taped those things thought someone else would do it. It was a cage match but the cage was a six sided star and every review of the match was that it was bonkers amazing.

This match was in a barbed wire cage and all four of these nuts weren'r afraid to go face first into the barbed wire multiple times. The meat of the match was good with plenty of guys being strung up in the barbed wire, but the real fun is post match. Haloween lights a barbed wire baseball bat on fire an starts hitting Ultraman with it (Ultraman is Damien 666 ), he pops him pretty good a couple of times, and the Psicosis just whallops him with it, breaking it into pieces of flaming material off the bat. Psicosis then decides to leap off the top of the cage and leg drops Leon Negro through a table on the which is this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66p8VQAWUrw I never noticed the entire "crucifixion on Christmas" part of it all. That's great. Wrestling is art.

So I can't see very good which is part of why pro wrestling has never lost its magi to me. Everything looks like it hurts as much as it appears to hurt, I don't see the trick behind a lot of the moves. But what I'm curious about is, with all the re-evaluation of chairshots to the head that has happened since the Attitude Era, is Edge and Christian's con-chair-to as bad as it looks? ;

Am I dreaming or did Triple H have a t-shirt design between 2005-2009 which was based around the hemorrhoid cream preparation h? Like a "apply some of this before you get your rear end kicked" vibe.

On a similar note, there could be some spectacular imagery in a Kane-less inferno match. Although it would still suck for the wrestlers involved, and probably still wouldn't amount to an actual good match. The whole "setting your opponent on fire" win condition kind of limits what you can do as well, so they might has well open that up. btw that got me thinking about Bray's debut in an inferno match, which I remembered ending in a pinfall, but now that I look it up it was apparently a "Ring of Fire" match? Huh, okay.

A few years ago there was a show, PPV I think, where Vince McMahon does a backstage segment. After the segment he's left alone in the room and turns around and has a vision of himself from the 80s (blue jacket and all) and looks startled, then moves on. I can't remember if it was a cardboard cutout of himself or if it was an Ultimate Warrior style mirror hallucination, and to the best of my knowledge NOTHING ever came of it. I think it might have been meant to be the start of some kind of angle where Vince realizes what a monstrous caricature of himself he has become, but if so it got abandoned almost before it began. Does anybody remember the particular show or have a screenshot/gif/clip?
