10 Wrestling Gimmick Matches That Only Happened Once

10. House Of Horrors

Bray Wyatt's House of Horrors - not to be confused with the "compound" on which his army of brothers tangled with The New Day a couple of years ago - has only hosted one WWE match to date, and the strong likelihood is that it will not do so again.

Mostly, this is because the format just isn't palatable for fans in the arena, who at Payback last year only got a viewing experience you would ordinarily associate with a premium-rate WWE live event when The Eater of Worlds and opponent Randy Orton rocked up in the ring for the final two or three minutes.

Up until that point, they watched the action unfold on a screen like the rest of us. And we're using the word "action" liberally here: much of what we were seeing less resembled a wrestling match than it did a sequence from a low-budget horror movie overly reliant on jump scares.

By definition, a trick of this kind - trying to pull in extra subscribers by promising a wacky match familiar to nobody outside of Vince McMahon's circle of trust - can only work once. They may pull out something similar in the future, but it almost certainly won't go by the same name.
