10 Most Terrifying WWE Stipulations Ever

1. Scaffold

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltJcSVXXUnw No match in wrestling is quite as explicitly dangerous as a scaffold match - it is probably the stipulation in which the risk of death is at its highest. Although tables and other objects are often piled up in the ring below to break a wrestler's fall, sometimes the sheer height of such a fall can make an accurate landing difficult. While a deathmatch can be incredibly terrifying due to the dangerous nature of the weapons involved, the competitors at least have some control of the moves they execute upon one another. Throwing somebody from a high platform safely down into the ring is a world apart from pulling a strike at the last second. The scaffold match also has the dubious honour of being the only stipulation in which a wrestler has admitted his intention to legitimately kill his opponent. Ex-ECW star and former bounty hunter New Jack competed in a scaffold match against Vic Grimes in 2002 (for Rob Black's notorious Xtreme Pro Wrestling promotion), and threw his opponent directly onto the top rope from the platform some forty feet above. In a shoot interview conducted three years later, New Jack claimed he intended to land Grimes on the ring post and kill him - although the validity of this claim is often disputed. Grimes escaped with a dislocated ankle but came dangerously close to hitting the turnbuckle (or landing on the outside). The supposed motive for New Jack's actions was as revenge for another scaffold-related incident in which Grimes landed on his head following a double-fall. It's no surprise that such a match has never been seen in the WWE, even during the company's most extreme era at the turn of the century.
