10 Wrestling Gimmick Matches You Won't See Again

TNA's Fish Market Street Fight happened at Destination X in 2008, and was between Team 3-D (those crazy Dudley lads again) and the deliberately stupid gimmick pairing of Shark Boy and Curry Man (portrayed, bizarrely, by Christopher Daniels).

The match was a street fight using fish-themed ringside implements. Faces were mashed into trays of icy produce, faces were slapped with fish, and fishing poles were used to reel in opponents. Brother Ray, never one to pass up an opportunity to horrify fans, hurled fish into the crowd, whereupon they were hurled back.

There have been worse matches than the Fish Market Street Fight, but it's not the match quality that is the problem. The issue is that current wrestling is missing one essential ingredient for this display of piscine pugnacity - a fishy gimmick. It was Shark Boy's schtick that meant the whole fish thing made what little sense it did.

In the absence of a Salmon Corbin or Prawn Cena, the Fish Market Street Fight is never to make its odiferous return to our wrestling rings.
