10 Superstar-Centric Gimmick Wrestling Matches

10. A Variety Of Street Fights - Chicago, Belfast, Philly Etc

I'll start off with one that doesn't really fit the list, but at the same time always does. The Street Fight is one of the most frequently used gimmick matches in professional wrestling, wheeled out when the beef between two individuals is so strong that a traditional wrestling match can't contain it.

The beauty of the street fight is that its location can always change depending on where the match is taking place, and certain individuals will take the location on their shoulders to mean home turf. The first example of this was the Chicago Street Fight at WCW WrestleWar in 1990, where the Road Warriors defeated The Skyscrapers (a young Mark Callous and a masked Mike Enos).

Another example would be Finlay's Belfast Brawl. This is just a Street Fight, albeit one with Irish overtones. Finlay has competed in all of these, defeating The Great Khali and Mark Henry but coming up short against JBL at WrestleMania XXIV.
