10 Terrible Gimmick Wrestling Matches One Tweak Away From Excellence
7. King Of The Mountain
Why It's Terrible: A desperate attempt from Vince Russo and TNA to reinvent one of wrestling's wheels. The end requiring the wrestler to hang a title after a pinfall is somewhat preposterous, and works against what's often quite a unique affair.
One Tweak: Hang the belt from the very beginning.
There's so much happening in a King Of The Mountain match that it looks beyond saving, but ironing out this minor detail would provide such a huge benefit to the rest of the encounter.
For the uninitiated, five men start but nobody can climb a ladder to hang a title (and thus win it) until they've registered a fall on somebody. Said loser goes into a penalty box for a predetermined amount of time, helpless to stop the action until they're released.
I swear to god, bro, it's not that complicated, bro. But for common sense's sake just hang the belt like a normal ladder match and everything else won't see half as hard.
