Twists on old gimmicks/angles/stipulations you haven't seen but would have liked to

[flyonthewall2983]

I would have liked to have seen a guy lose a haircut match, but eventually come around to the idea that he looks better bald.

 

I think Bobby Heenan should have won at least one weasel suit match. Preferably against the Ultimate Warrior.

Didn't the "Perry Saturn wears a dress" gimmick come from him losing a "loser has to wear a dress" match to Chris Jericho, and they played up Saturn finding out he likes wearing dresses so Jericho didn't get to relish his victory at all?

They should've done that with Baron Corbin instead of just going straight to the haircut and posting the process on twitter.

Kurt Angle?

Tag title ladder match:  

Guy gets one of the straps off, and gets knocked off the ladder before he can get the other belt unhooked.

Then one of the opponents manages to get the other one off.  Its like Team Hell No’s “NO I AM THE TAG TEAM CHAMPION” bit but more of a “realistic” WTF do we do now scenario.

Kurt Angle. Gary Hart. Jeff Jarrett.

 I think you're correct. That's how I remember it.

At the time, the Jericho departure rumors were just heating up and people thought that was for sure something they were doing to humiliate him. It turned out that it was Saturn's idea and that he asked to lose the match.

[Richeyedwards]

I think I read that he wanted to do it as it would make him stand out from the pack at the time and give himself something unique.

Another ladder twist, multi-person match starts with everyone going quickly out of the ring, someone thinks quick, sneaks back in with ladder and zooms up to win in record fashion (maybe less than a minute, or just over a minute).

[JNLister]

I always thought you could do an epic feud settler/"who is truly the best all-rounder" match that was a twist on the British rules. To win you have to get both a pinfall and a submission (in either order) and only then are you eligible to win by knockout.

I wish a Babyface who lost a Loser Leaves Town match just showed up the next week as if nothing happened with footage shown of them driving out of the town as proof they lived up to the stip.

An ironman match that ends at the 40-45 minute mark with a wrestler gassed and completely unable to continue.

Sounds more like a heel move, but brilliant!

The result of a special guest referee match thrown out because the guest ref didn’t get his or her paperwork in on time, or was refused the “one time” license and didn’t tell the promotion before the match.  

It would set up an angle between the winner of the “thrown out results” match and the ref.

Boris Malenko did something like this in Florida, showing up on TV the next week with a train ticket proving that he had in fact left town.

I always wanted one of those falls-count-anywhere-in-the-building stips (or "falls count anywhere on the Gulf Coast," "falls count anywhere in Georgia," etc.) stips to be enforced literally. There's a brawl to the back entrance and a pin attempt--"One, two, and...oh, he JUST got his foot outside the door!" Also, has anyone ever won an FCA match by cradling up their opponent and putting their feet on the guardrail for leverage?

[Boss Rock]

I feel like the only Money in the Bank scenario they could still do that they haven't done yet is someone cashing in during a ladder match right after the two competitors get wiped out in a huge spot. Briefcase holder cashes in and easily unhooks the title.

Two friends/brothers turned bitter enemies compete in an I Quit match. Right when one is about finish the other off, he decides he can't go through with it and quits voluntarily. The two then reconcile.

Sounds like the Kayfabe News gag about major PPV main events getting called off, due to the match participants coming to amicable agreements!
