10 Terrible Gimmick Wrestling Matches One Tweak Away From Excellence
2. Battle Royal
Why It's Terrible: It's everything and nothing - there's lots to look at, but upon zeroing in it quickly becomes apparent that it wasn't worth your effort in the first place. It flies directly in the face of Vince McMahon's "more is always more" philosophy because a 20-man is marginally better than a 30-man, which is marginally better than a 40-man, and so on.
One Tweak: Only book them with the World/Universal/Whatever Title on the line.
Its bad enough when half a ton of mass aren't generating enough interest to shake an arena to its foundations, but at least force through some fun by the end. WCW's World War 3 matches were a jumbled mess, but the promise of the World Heavyweight Championship or a shot at it was enough to always make the closing stages fascinating.
Making the "nitty gritty" actually gritty again would provide untold excitement, rather than the non-existent type that greets the WrestleMania Kickoff/Saudi Arabia oil money spectacles.
