20 Dumbest Gimmick Matches In WCW History
15. Triangle Elimination Match
Which brings us to this. Despite Roddy Piper holding WCW Nitro hostage with his weird Fight Club pastiche, he was ultimately made to team with Chris Benoit, Jeff Jarrett and Mongo against the WCW team of Lex Luger, The Giant and the Steiners and the nWo team of Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Hollywood Hogan and Randy Savage. It's a three-way elimination tag with staggered entry, or it's supposed to be, and there are also absurdly convoluted stakes.
If the nWo won, they could challenge for any WCW title at any time. If WCW won, the nWo would be stripped of all titles and banned from wrestling for three years. If Piper's non-WCW team of nWo-hating WCW employees won, Roddy Piper got to wrestle Hulk Hogan. Yes, the Four Horsemen were actively trying to stop the banishment of the nWo and the return of their titles to WCW so Roddy Piper could have another bad match with Hogan. Also, Dennis Rodman was there.
Defining Moment: The match mercifully ending so Sting could rappel down and beat everyone to death with a baseball bat.
