5 Gimmick matches WWE needs to bring back

#4 Texas Bullrope match

A Texas Bullrope match

Back in 2004, JBL had turned heel after WrestleMania 20 and kicked off a feud with Eddie Guerrero over the WWE title. JBL failed to win the belt at Judgment Day 2004, and this prompted him to introduce a gimmick match that many hadn't heard of in a long time: the Texas Bullrope match.

The self-proclaimed Wrestling God defeated Guerrero in the match at The Great American Bash 2004, winning his first and only WWE title in the process. Around a year later, when Batista was World Champion on SmackDown, he successfully defended the belt against JBL on a special episode of the Blue brand.

The match requires both Superstars to be restrained with a single rope. The rope also has a cowbell attached to it. The objective of the match is to touch all the four top turnbuckles in successive attempts. The Superstar who manages to do so wins the match. The match, during its short run in WWE, gave us some incredibly disturbing moments, with JBL getting busted open both times he was part of the match.
