10 Most Ridiculous Variations Of WWE Matches

The Attitude era was famous for overbooked nonsense, and what’s more overbooked and nonsensical than a tag team match for a singles title? Matches of this type play into the Attitude era’s love of uneasy alliances and people turning against each other.

Nowhere was this more prevalent than at King of the Ring 2000, when The Rock, Kane, and The Undertaker took on McMahon-Helmsley Faction members Triple H, Vince, and Shane in a six-man tag match for the WWF Championship. It was a chaotic main event that saw ostensible partners Rock, Kane, and ‘Taker attack each other in addition to the heel team. After all, whoever got the pinfall won the title, so what reason did these three have to cooperate? Moreover, in the midst of the chaos, Rock didn't even pin the champion Triple H to win the title, but Vince. What a definitive and satisfying conclusion to Hunter and Rock’s months-long feud, amirite?

There are other examples of tag matches for singles titles, and all of them follow the pattern of being overbooked and nonsensical at their core. Unless it’s two stables desperate to keep a title “in the family,” there’s really no reason to have matches of this type.
