10 Gimmick Matches WWE Should NEVER Book Again
Time to put these stinkers out of their misery.
A good gimmick match should leave you breathless, excited and entertained, but a bad one can leave you gasping for air too. Either that or you'll be palming your forehead and muttering, 'Who the hell booked this sh*t?'.
Stipulation bouts make sense - they're ideal for blowing off feuds, and they should (in theory) be perfect as unique selling points on bigger pay-per-views. Somehow though, WWE has muddied its own waters by introducing or returning to some of the worst ideas in company history. They need to start learning lessons, and they need to cast these match types out permanently.
The earliest example here is from 1994, and the latest is from this past week's episode of Raw. That's a sure sign that WWE hasn't learned any lessons when it comes to tragic gimmick matches; there are three bouts from 2020 alone on this list. That's...worrying, and the promotion should make sure they never repeat these abominations.
Don't work with children or animals? Add talcum powder, boats, hoods, well-known weapons and musical instruments to that. Welcome to the least fun collection of gimmick matches ever...
