20 Dumbest Gimmick Matches In WCW History

2. Chamber Of Horrors Match

Say what you will about the rest of these matches, but none of them climaxed with a literal execution in the middle of the ring. Let's be clear: regardless of the additional stupid things you are about to read, this match could only be won by strapping a living human into an electric chair and throwing the switch.

This match had the babyface squad of Sting, the Steiners and El Gigante taking on the monster super team of Vader, Cactus Jack, Abdullah the Butcher and, uh, Scott Hall. All eight men swarmed around a cramped cage, hitting each other with weapons, while a proto-GoPro called the Refer-Eye Cam induced vomiting on all the fans watching at home.The horror would only subside when Abdullah was forced into the chair and electrocuted, with attendant smoke and sparks.

Defining Moment: The switch falling into the ON position well before the finish, causing Mick Foley to climb up and surreptitiously flip in back up.
