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

The Chamber of Horrors match

Sometimes in wrestling, you have unforgettable matches that transcend the clutches of time because they're so damn good.

And sometimes, you have matches that live on in inglorious recollection because they're just so damn terrible.

The Chamber of Horrors match that WCW put on at Halloween Havoc 1991 was one such travesty.

Featuring two teams of four participants each, it was a match set inside a convoluted steel structure with various 'instruments of torture' available for use and a lever-operated electric chair in the middle of it all.

The team to which a wrestler belonged lost if he were to be strapped to that chair and electrocuted. Yes. In the same way murder row criminals were executed in prisons, in case you're still wondering.

Featuring some really big stars like Sting, Scott Steiner, Cactus Jack and Vader to name a few, the match did initially attract a certain level of intrigue on paper.

But as soon as it started, it was all downhill from there.

Devoid of any real match psychology, with random masked dudes popping out of caskets and a general feeling of un-coordinated chaos, everyone was glad when the trainwreck was brought to an unceremonious end by Abdullah the Butcher's electrocution.

Yes, the match was so bad that a wrestler had to actually kayfabe die for it to end.

The irony is inescapable, is it not?
