10 WWE Gimmick Matches you may not remember

#9 Last Ride Match - A gimmick match introduced at No Mercy 2004

JBL on Monday Night Raw

During the agonizing reign of JBL as WWE Champion, a new gimmick match was brought to the table during his feud with The Undertaker.

At No Mercy 2004, the Last Ride match was introduced by then SmackDown general manager, Teddy Long.

The match itself, saw a hearse be brought stage-side, and the only way to win the match was by placing your incapacitated opponent into the back of the hearse.

JBL ultimately won the match after Heidenreich attacked The Undertaker, thus helping JBL finish off the deadman to retain his WWE Championship.

The Last Ride gimmick match was used once more at Armageddon in a match between Mr. Kennedy and the Phenom.

#8 Tuxedo Match - A gimmick match introduced at Starrcade 1984

You're probably thinking, 'What on earth is a Tuxedo Match?', so let us explain.

The rules are fairly straightforward, the first person to remove a tuxedo from their opponent wins the match.

Surprisingly, this gimmick match happened numerous times in WWE, with the last being in 2012 between Santino Marella and Ricardo Rodriguez.

The late, legendary Howard Finkel has competed in two of these matches and lost on both occasions to fellow ring announcers Tony Chimel and Lilian Garcia.

The Tuxedo Match hasn't been seen on WWE television in nearly ten years, and it may be for the best that it stays that way.
