6 concept matches from Extreme Rules that didn't work

#4 Extreme Makeover Match

Beth Phoenix and Michelle McCool contest in WWE's first and only Extreme Makeover match.

One concept match that won’t remembered in WWE history is none other than the first and only Extreme Makeover match, which happened at Extreme Rules in 2010. The match is not much different to a hardcore match, with the key difference being that the weapons in this match all relate to a makeover of some kind, including an ironing board, hairspray and countless other make-up products.

Beth Phoenix and Michelle McCool were the only two wrestlers that competed in this concept match, and whilst they tried to work with what little they had, due to the fact that most of the make-up products can’t (and weren’t) used as weapons, it was somewhat confusing to understand what the point of this match actually was.

Whilst the match may be memorable to Beth Phoenix for winning the match and becoming WWE Women’s Champion for a third time, the rest of the WWE have long forgotten about this.

In this new era of women’s wrestling where female wrestlers are proving they can and will compete on the same level as men similar other concept matches such as the Elimination Chamber match or a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match, it’s now simply unfathomable to see a match like an Extreme Makeover again in the WWE.
