10 WWE Gimmick Matches you may not remember

#5 Bar Room Brawl - A gimmick introduced at Vengeance 2003

The APA

Usually, you'd see these kinds of gimmick matches on the weekends at many bars around the world.

JBL and Ron Simmons, then known as the APA, declared an APA Bar Room Invitational for Vengeance in 2003.

The rules were fairly straightforward, the last man standing in the bar was declared the winner.

To be eliminated, you would need to be pinned, submitted, or just too drunk to continue to compete.

The match saw a whole host of talent appear, including legendary talents such as Doink the Clown and Brother Love. As you would expect, JBL, as Bradshaw, ultimately won the match, last eliminating Brother Love.

Another Bar Brawl took place more recently with a match between Jeff Hardy and Sheamus on SmackDown in 2020.

#4 Championship Scramble Match - A gimmick match introduced at Unforgiven 2008

Triple H on Monday Night Raw

The Championship Scramble match was something unique that we hadn't seen on WWE television before.

To this day, many fans around the world hope that this particular gimmick match will one day return.

The rules of the match: two superstars start, with new superstars entering the match every five minutes. Whoever scores a pinfall or submission during the match becomes interim champion.

The only way to win is to be the interim champion when the match ends, which is five minutes after the final superstar has entered. A great concept right?

The interim champion during the match would not be recorded as an official reign.

Three Championship Scramble matches took place at Unforgiven 2008, and the gimmick match has not been used since.

We will always remember The Brian Kendrick's short reign as interim WWE Champion.
