10 Terrible Gimmick Wrestling Matches One Tweak Away From Excellence
8. Blindfold Match
Why It's Terrible: Because not a lot necessarily has to happen - the gimmick requires wrestlers to miss moves as it does hit them in order to make the most of the stipulation.
One Tweak: Blindfold the referee as well.
Virtually every combination of heel/babyface advantage/disadvantage has been fleshed out in this concept to such a maddening degree that the charm of even something like Jack Roberts' enjoyable outing against RicK Martel at WrestleMani has gradually dissolved. It's time to go all in on the slapstick.
The wrestlers, themselves unsure because of the hoods, do their usual bit of back-and-forth with requisite chicanery, but then have the added problem of dragging the referee around with every move. This would lead to some errant-but-cathartic moves hitting one of the officials instead, used to particularly great drama when the heel is being a cheating turd only to find the referee as clueless as their babyface victim.
It allows for a bit of role reversal too - and anything that empowers a babyface in the modern era is better than the established norm.
