10 Best (Worst) Wrestling Horror Matches

2. Clockwork Orange House Of Fun Match

A Clockwork Orange House of Fun Match (or simply a "House of Fun" match, if you don't want to get sued by the Burgess estate) was a creation of Raven's, both on- and off-screen, in TNA. The match saw poles attached to the ring posts, chains suspended from the poles, and weapons (and sometimes steel cage panels) attached to the chains.

The match made several appearances in TNA during the company's early years, usually with Raven involved. The first time, the way to win the match was to knock an opponent off a scaffold and through a pair of tables, but later, it just became a falls-count-anywhere match.

So with all the refuse and metal in the ring, were the bouts any good? Not usually - typically, the whole thing was an overbooked mess. In an interesting historical tidbit, though, CM Punk - who was aligned with Raven in the early days of TNA - competed in a House of Fun match. Odds are that it didn't make the list of Punk's career highlights.
