EVERY Wrestling Gimmick Match Ranked From Worst To Best
From the seminal to the disastrous: what is the BEST wrestling gimmick match, and the dirt worst?
A quick note on the criteria: this shouldn't be too impenetrable nor daunting a read, and you'll only click through as many slides here as you ordinarily would - but it should be comprehensive.
As such, some stipulation matches will be collected under one banner - Reduced Clothing, for example. Nobody wants an in-depth analysis on the subtle intricacies that separate the Evening Gown and Bra & Panties matches, other than, of course, Jerry Lawler.
Conversely, some stipulations under the same purview should (and will) be reviewed separately. The aim is to catalogue each stipulation in an attempt to determine which types have endured and why, which should be abandoned, tweaked or brought back. It should prove interesting to compare something like the NXT WarGames reboot versus the slightly more traditional AEW Blood & Guts attraction - or whether, for that matter, another promotion exhumed the NWA/WCW centrepiece and did something better with it.
Also, because an exhaustive list would be legitimately impossible to compile, certain unknown or entirely forgotten matches can't be included - and something like the shindie 'Pools of F*ckery' or TNA's 'Hard Ten' won't be here, either. The idea is to spark some debate and provide an in-depth long read on a quiet night, not make you wade through every last bit of wrestling bullsh*t for the sake of retention.
Although, it wouldn't be very fun to ignore some of the more memorably silly matches, so the daftest and maddest will be ranked.
OK, let's go...
