10 Wrestling Gimmick Matches You Won't See Again

10. Electrified Cage Match

TNA tried to pull this match off at the Lockdown PPV in 2007, and immediately regretted it.

Team 3D (WWE's Dudley Boyz) and LAX (Latin-American heel hoodlums managed by Konnan) were to throw down in a match that was like a cage match ('Six Sides Of Steel' in TNA parlance) but even more dangerous. The cage would be electrified with 10,000 volts of sparkly blue agony, turning an already brutal match type into an epic of gladiatorial fury.

The major problem with the electrified cage match was the fact the cage was obviously not electrified, nor could it possibly be. Even an audience desperate to suspend its disbelief could not abandon basic logic when Hernandez grabbed the cage to steady himself with no ill effects, or the lights flickered and loud buzzing sound effects were played as Brother Devon was thrown into the steel.

The crowd turned nasty and booed the whole thing until the conclusion, at which LAX's Homicide botched a backwards fall into Team 3D's finisher, and the wrestling world agreed to never, ever try this again.
