The infamous Kennel from Hell match took place during the midst of the Attitude Era at Unforgiven 1999.
It featured Al Snow as he battled Big Boss Man in the gimmick match.
A female WWE star said her life is in danger. Details HERE
The set-up itself featured a steel cage surrounding the ring, with a Hell in a Cell structure on top of it.
Guard dogs were placed in between the Steel Cage and Hell in a Cell structure on the floor, and the only way to win was to escape both structures, avoiding the dogs.
On paper, it sounds like a fairly alright concept, but in reality it didn't quite come off and has been labeled as one of the worst gimmick matches in WWE history.
Al Snow won the match to retain his Hardcore Championship, but the gimmick match hasn't returned since 1999.

The Parking Lot Brawl is quite simple. One wrestler challenged another to step outside into the car park for an all-out brawl.
The only way to win this gimmick match is to pin, submit or knockout your opponent, with all three permitted anywhere in the parking lot.
John Cena has appeared in two Parking Lot Brawl matches in WWE. Once against Eddie Guerrero and second against JBL.
There have been a number of these matches over the years, with the most recent being between Adam Cole and Velveteen Dream, known as the 'Backlot Brawl' for the NXT Championship.

During the height of the Attitude Era, WWE brought in a new gimmick match called the Lion's Den.
The Lion's Den is a small octagonal cage which was a play on Ultimate Fighting Championship.
The only way to win the match is by knocking your opponent unconscious or making them submit.
It was brought in as Ken Shamrock's specialty match, similar to that of The Undertaker with his Buried Alive match, Casket Match and so on.
Shamrock faced Owen Hart and Steve Blackman inside the Lions' Den, and won both of those matches.
The match hasn't been used since in WWE, as there hasn't really been a character similar to that of Ken Shamrock to be able to promote it.
