Unicorn Gimmick Matches

[Phil Schneider]

I started a new feature on Segunda Caida where I am reviewing Unicorn Gimmick Matches, fun gimmick matches which only got run once. I opened it up with the nutso Cellblock match from Wildside between Shank and Timber the Lumberjack.

Any other suggestions?

[Mr. Lacelle]

There's been only one hogpin match as far as I know.

[Phil Schneider]

Nope there were three

 

HHH v. Godwin, Bischoff v. Austin and Santino v. Chavo and Vicky

 

Still that could be a good one, HHH v. Godwin is the only one that mattered

[Flyin' Brian]

Capture the midget match 11/24/03 Raw

[Zenjo]

Was there only one Exploding Anal Bomb Death Match, or have I been missing out on all the fun?

[Peppercorn Bing Bong]

Isn't there a lot of good Big Japan matches like that?

 

Exploding Thumbtack Balloons Match

Matsunaga vs. an alligator

Piranha Tank deathmatch

 

There was also the Raw Sewage match from XPW that's probably at least good for a laugh.

[NintendoLogic]

Has there ever been another Catch-as-Catch-Can Match like the one between Malenko and Kidman at Souled Out?

[The Chief]

Somebody please tell me that Russo never repeated Viagra on a pole in TNA or something...

[Loss]

Triple Tower of Doom! (Bash '88)

 

I don't know if Uncensored '96 counts as the same thing or not.

[EricR]

Reverse Battle Royal should increase our page views...

Kennel from Hell

[Jetlag]

The SAW deathmatch. Snuff said.

 

Actually I also just saw a Corporal Robinson vs. JC Bailey match on YouTube where are barefoot in thumbtacks fighting over loafers on a pole.

Plus other fun things on a pole like a leather jacket, a piñata or Judy Bagwell.

 

How about that strange Texas death match version the WWF did at Wrestlemania X (Savage vs. Crush)?

[Al]

Triple Tower of Doom! (Bash '88)

 

I don't know if Uncensored '96 counts as the same thing or not.

Believe World Class ran the same gimmick that Summer.

[Phil Schneider]

Man I want to watch good matches, why are you guys nominating the worst of Russo?

[Loss]

Sadly, I think most gimmick matches that were only done once were probably only done once for a reason. Still, I think there have gotta be some that are good, so we need to dig much deeper.

I think there's been 4 SAW death matches.

[ChuckScumm]

Last Blood Battle Royal?

[Hawkeye12]

Thunderdome Match at Halloween Havoc 1989. They used the cage again but not with the electrified top gimmick and throw in the towel "terminator" stipulation.

[Peppercorn Bing Bong]

Some more I thought of:

Roddy Piper vs. Goldust - Hollywood Backlot Brawl

FMW Swimming Pool Deathmatch

Big Japan Desert Deathmatch: Matsunaga vs. Shoji Nakamaki

[Infinit]

Chamber of Horrors.

[Flyin' Brian]

King of the Road match WCW Uncensored 95

[Phil Schneider]

I reviewed the pretty boss Dungeon match between Owen Hart and Ken Shamrock

[Tim Evans]

The loser gets painted yellow match between El Profe and Hugo Savinovich from 1987 WWC. I know they have don't loser gets a yellow streak matches before in places like Memphis and Mid south but I don't remember painted totally yellow.

[elliott]

Was there more than one Coward's Way Out match? Because Lawler vs Dream Machine. And I don't see it reviewed in the Lawler Complete & Accurate.

 

Edit

Also, that Hugo vs El Profe match mentioned above is fucking awesome.
