14. Gimmick Matches Are Watchable

Here is a casket match between "The Man of 1,000 Lives" Fenix vs. "The Man of 1,000 Deaths" Mil Muertes. These two were embroiled in a bitter feud that led to a fantastic casket match, which is also a contender for "Match of the Year". You will notice -- unlike every other casket match -- Fenix and Muertes use everything as a weapon against each other and completely ignore opening the casket until the proper time. 

This trend of quality gimmick matches continues on whether it's a cage match (Mundo vs. Cuerno) or a 60-minute iron man match (Prince Puma vs. Mundo). It's amazing what less rest holds and better ring psychology does for these types of matches.
