Ambushed a Wrestler 16 WWE Records Most Fans Don’t Know About!

Wrestling Match Types Used Once (But Never Again!)

Gimmick matches are some of the most fun to watch in wrestling. These five match types only made one appearance in the WWE, never to be used again.

1. Six-Man Hell in a Cell

Put six stars in there, you’re going to get a war that’s incredibly full on and hard to keep up with, but in an enjoyable way.

2. The Barbed Wire Steel Cage

Not a regular steel cage match- a barbed wire steel cage match! This way, JBL’s minions like Orlando Jordan and The Basham’s couldn’t get involved.

Each of the four pods contained a table, a crowbar, a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire, and a steel chair.

3. Extreme Elimination Chamber

4. Asylum Match

The catch was that there was an abundance of weapons lingering above the steel cage, which either of the two could grab and use to their advantage.
