20 Dumbest Gimmick Matches In WCW History
3. Junkyard Battle Royale
When we look back fondly on WWE's hardcore division, it's all fun memories of Crash Holly fighting dudes in a ball pit or Big Show nearly tanking an entire WrestleMania by driving a golf cart into a transformer. For WCW, the best you're going to get is this ill-conceived match, in which Fit Finlay battled 14 other men in a literal junkyard to be named Garbage King of Trash Mountain, AKA WCW Hardcore Champion.
About half the field went down with legitimate injuries, probably because an area filled with broken glass and jagged metal is a decidedly poor location for an athletic exhibition designed to not actually hurt anyone. Finlay escaped the junkyard for the win, and then nearly lost his leg weeks later on a house show following a botched table spot. Crash Holly was probably super thankful for that ball pit.
Defining Moment: Silver King needing 60 stitches to close his gaping trash wounds.
