7 Worst Wrestling Match Stipulations In WWE Extreme Rules History
3. Extreme Makeover Match
When it comes to womens wrestling, the WWE has something of a tradition of taking a legitimate match-type and bastardising it into a completely inferior knockoff version; turning a lumberjack match into a Playboy BunnyMania Lumberjill match at WrestleMania 24, for example.
Another such instance came at Extreme Rules 2010, when Beth Phoenix faced Michelle McCool in an extreme makeover match for the old WWE Womens Championship.
Now, in theory this was basically an extreme rules matchno disqualification, anything goes, and with a litany of weapons surrounding the ring. However, those weapons werent your usual array of chairs, table, and kendo sticks.
Instead, we saw an ironing board, a broom, hairspray and a mop-bucket, as well as a carefully assembled table of cosmetic goods just in front of the announce table.
In short, this match was as gimmicky as they come. And furthermore, it was a telling sign of how the WWE regarded its female competitors in an unabashed display of sexist stereotyping.
