8 Gimmick Matches You'll NEVER See In WWE Again

8. Bra & Panties

Even the name of this match is enough to send a shudder down the spine.

The stipulation for a 'Bra & Panties' bout is to literally rip the clothing from your opponent, thus leaving them standing in their underwear. These matches were the brainchild of a deviant creep, and were demeaning and demoralizing for obvious reasons. Perhaps the only surprise here is that WCW ran the match before Vince McMahon did, with a "Rip Off The Clothes" match between Major Gunns and Miss. Hancock taking place at New Blood Rising in August 2000.

Unbelievably, the first WWE 'Bra & Panties' match took place between wrestling pioneers Trish Stratus and Lita, which only shows that even top-tier talent were not immune from being subjected to these ridiculous and degrading conditions.

Thankfully, the world has moved on from these knuckle-dragging conditions. No matter what you think of creative decisions by Paul Levesque and his creative team, this stipulation would never rear its head in the modern era. Asking Rhea Ripley or Stephanie Vaquer to take part in one of these matches would result in someone ending their night with a bloodied nose.
