10 WWE Gimmick Matches you may not remember

#7 Hog Pen Match - A gimmick match introduced at In Your House 1995

Imagine a gimmick match where to win, you must throw your opponent into a hog pen filled with mud and excrement. Not us either, but it has happened to Vickie Guerrero and Henry O. Godwinn in WWE.

A match simply to embarrass the opponent, is won by throwing your opponent into the hog pen.

The first of its kind happened in 1995 at In Your House 5, between now WWE Executive Triple H and Henry O. Godwinn.

The second happened between Vickie Guerrero and Santina Marella (Santino Marella's twin sister and Miss WrestleMania) at Extreme Rules in 2009.

The gimmick match hasn't been used since, but variations have happened with Stephanie McMahon facing Vickie Guerrero in a Mud Match on an episode of Monday Night Raw.

#6 Barbed Wire Steel Cage Match - A gimmick match introduced at No Way Out 2005

Barbed Wire Steel Cage match? Nope, this is not Extreme Championship Wrestling.

The first-ever Barbed Wire Steel Cage match took place at No Way Out in 2005, during the tail end of JBL's reign as WWE Champion.

To stop JBL's Cabinet from interfering, then SmackDown General Manager Teddy Long announced this gimmick match against The Big Show.

The odds were stacked against JBL, but he ultimately came out victorious after The Big Show choke-slammed the champion through the ring, only for JBL to crawl out underneath with his two feet touching the floor first.

The unique gimmick match, only used once by WWE, set off a wave of 'extreme' matches that would come within the next 12 months.
