10 Famous Match Stipulations Never Used By WWE
WWE didn't fancy using these 10 famous match stipulations
7. Scaffold Match
In theory, there’s nothing wrong with a Scaffold Match. Two wrestlers or teams of wrestlers fight it out on top of a large, wobbly structure, with the winner being the first one to throw their opponent or opponents off the top. It’s dangerous, it’s visually interesting, what more could you possibly want?
Well, to actually see the wrestlers, for a start. The Scaffold Match has long been criticised for making it very hard for crowds both at home and in person to witness the action as it unfolds. They also severely limit how much work participants can do - the bulk of the offence in them being punches and kicks - as well as being needlessly risky for very little reward.
During a match at the NWA’s Starrcade 1986 between The Road Warrior and The Midnight Express, Jim Cornette fell from the scaffolding and managed to tear all the ligaments in one of his knees.
