10 Hidden Gems & Curiosities From WWE Network
10. The Arkansas Hog Pen Match - In Your House 5 (1995)
Most one-off gimmick matches are one-offs for a reason, but in the heart of the New Generation Era can be found a contest which is both defined by a ludicrous stipulation and actually pretty good fun. 1995's In Your House 5 saw a svelte Hunter Hearst Helmsley facing hog farmer Henry Godwin in a match where the winner was the first to throw his opponent into a hog pen full of what was charitably described as mud.
Much of the drama came from the teasing of the various sources of gunk, with the first row getting a bucket of slop over them instead of Helmsley, and a handful of the stuff later getting mashed into the blueblood's face.
The match fits the 'curiosity' rather than 'hidden classic' category, but the crowd certainly got a kick out of the prospect of Helmsley getting dumped into the hog pen, and both men played it to the hilt. Just pity the poor folks who had to sit next to a clutch of flatulent pigs all night.
