10 Gimmick Matches WWE Should NEVER Book Again
9. Crybaby Match
What do you want to see when watching a pro wrestling pay-per-view? Thrilling in-ring action that you can't get anywhere else? Violent grudge matches? How about a grown man getting covered in talcum powder as another tries to put a nappy on his unconscious body?
That's what happened at In Your House 6.
The February 1996 show featured the WWF's first ever 'Crybaby Match', but the only ones shedding tears afterwards were the fans. Obviously, The 1-2-3 Kid and Razor Ramon did some nice work during their 12-minute opener - they were too talented not to. However, that 'Crybaby' ending sucked ass.
Kid's dramatic tantrum was WWF/WWE comedy at its worst. He flailed around like somebody had stolen his favourite toy, and the gimmick fell flat. The live crowd in Louisville responded to a gritty cage headliner between Bret Hart and Diesel with more vigour. Imagine that.
