10 Most Overrated (And Overused) WWE Gimmick Matches
9. Battle Royal
The Battle Royal has become the WWE's safest bet for picking a brand new Number One Contender or even World Champion, because it can appear from a storyline perspective as if it is affording the entire roster an opportunity, and also ensures that nobody has to take a pinfall in defeat.
However, whilst there have been some memorable spots in the countless elimination wars over the years, there's a common misconception that there's a lot to get excited about in the match itself.
Too often, the mass of bodies forges a largely unwatchable sight, and the only 'action' comes from half the competitors leaning against ropes waiting for their cues.
Even with the increased stakes of an Andre The Giant trophy, the latest WrestleMania tradition is already feeling a tired concept, despite the noble enough intention of giving every member of the roster a chance to perform in front of a stadium crowd.
And like the hundreds before them, outside of the winners, the battle royals have left behind few treasured memories.
It is at least, a relatively safe environment for wrestlers to compete, with their elimination the only element of irregular danger they're likely to encounter.
