.... what was it?

This is of course opinion only. There's no possible formula you could prepare to measure the awfulness of a given gimmick match, but what gimmick matches throughout the halls of wrestling history has been the worst? If you have more than one option, feel free to express your disdain, also.

Mine personally has to be the kennel match that occured between Al Snow and Big Boss Man. I think it was officially titled "Kennel From Hell" match. What a shitty gimmick match that was. For those not around to watch stuff in 1999, Al Snow and Big Boss Man were embroiled in a feud stemming from Big Boss Man stealing Al Snow's Chihuahua, and basically they decided to settle the score inside a steel cell, which surrounded another cage, with the added stipulation of having dogs between the cage and the second steel cell. You'd have to make it over the cage and through the cell to win.

Sure, it sounds like it could turn into a brutal, stomach churning match filled with blood and torn flesh but think again! Instead of snarling and barking, the dogs basically walked around, taking wizzes, shitting everywhere, and making babies. Now I think there may have been one instance where the dogs actually did their job but my memory is fuzzy. I only watched it on PPV when I was 9 and once again about 4 years ago. It was a complete failure, both in terms of storyline, concept, and execution.

So, sound off on those gimmick matches that made you want to puke. Nothing's off limit, voice your damn opinion!

The gimmick battle royal from wrestlemania X-Seven. That wrestlemania was one of the best ever but that match was so stupid. It had an elimination every 5 seconds with no wrestling. It brought the whole PPV down before rock/austin

For fans who grew up with those guys, it wasn't about the match, it was about the entrances and seeing all the wrestlers come out. If you'd lived through the time, you wouldn't say it was the worst gimmick match at all. And :lol: at no wrestling in a battle royal, that's kind of the point.

Anyhow, I'm siding with EC on this one, the Kennel from Hell was beyond atrocious.
