Admittedly, this suggestion is more in hope than expectation, but is there a more pointless match type in modern-day WWE than the Flag match?
In the 1980s, the concept made sense when villainous anti-Americans like Ivan Koloff and Nikolai Volkoff were facing some of the biggest babyfaces in the industry after making derogatory remarks about their country, but the match type is outdated now and isn't needed in 2018.
The most recent match of its kind took place between Rusev and John Cena at Battleground 2017. Not only was the 21-minute match slow and tedious, but Rusev’s anti-America gimmick was way past its prime and he was just a few months away from being the most popular good guy on the roster!
