10 Superstar-Centric Gimmick Wrestling Matches
2. Inferno Match - Kane
The character of Kane has always been closely linked to fire, and as a result it is unsurprising that the Big Red Monster has been involved in every single Inferno Match to take place in World Wrestling Entertainment. The Inferno Match is aesthetically fantastic, but in the modern age the likelihood of performers going up in flames is slim to none, as it should be.
The very first Inferno Match saw The Undertaker defeat his baby brother in 1998, before repeating that action on an episode of RAW a year later. 'Taker then burned Stephanie McMahon's childhood teddy bear, bringing a tear to the eye of the Chairman of the Board.
Kane has also lost to Triple H and Bray Wyatt in such matches, and his only victory to date saw the Devil's Favourite Demon get one over MVP in December 2006.
The way to win the Inferno Match was fairly simple; set your opponent on fire. Flames would surround the ring, rising to the sky whenever a bump was taken, and pretty much every match ended with someone's arm catching fire. The Wyatt/Kane match was different however, with the fire acting the same as a cage. Victory came via pinfall, the flames there to keep Bray's followers out.
