5 insane gimmick matches that we will never see in the WWE

Evening Gown Hardcore match

Okay.

On to a match that did, for a change, take place in the WWE.

And unlike the other entries on this list, this match isn't as sadistic as it is just plain bizarre.

Normally, an Evening Gown match would involve two ladies battling it out to see who can relieve the other of her clothes first. The first woman to strip her opponent down to her bra and panties wins.

Not only would this match have no place in the WWE today, what with the Women's Revolution and all, but it may also behove you to know that this particular encounter that made the list didn't involve women at all.

Instead, it was contested by Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco - wearing bras stuffed with copious amounts of cotton, colour-coded panties and wigs to boot - under 24/7 Hardcore Championship rules.

It was so tone-deaf and downright bad that the audience spent most of the match booing the two men...although that could be explained away by the pop that Crash Holly got when he interceded and pinned Patterson to win the Title at the end.

Still, it's safe to say that his gimmick match is not making an appearance in the WWE again. Ever.
