20 Dumbest Gimmick Matches In WCW History

7. King Of The Road Match

What feud was ever as red hot as Dustin Rhodes vs. The Blacktop Bully, AKA Demolition Smash working a goofy trucker gimmick? You'd need a truly singular match to blow off such an epic, long-standing rivalry. Grittier than a cage match, more brutal than an "I Quit" match. So you're not careful, you might book these eternal rivals in a stupidly dangerous match, like, I don't know, a street fight held on a moving flatbed truck.

Yes, the one and only King of the Road Match was held at Uncensored 1995. The two men were made to battle inside a caged-off flatbed filled with hay, with the winner being the first person to climb over to the cab and honk the horn. Man, imagine if you slipped and fell to your death trying to accomplish that. Imagine someone having to break the news to your kids. "If it's any consolation, Billy, your father died trying to honk a horn to win a pro wrestling match literally no one cared about."

Defining Moment: Everyone involved getting fired after the match because they bladed without permission.
