10 Famous Match Stipulations Never Used By WWE
WWE didn't fancy using these 10 famous match stipulations
2. Coal Miner's Glove Match
A coal miner’s glove is a leather welding glove with a steel bar across the knuckles. One day, a wrestler saw one and went “That would look great dangling from a giant pole.” Thus, the Coal Miner’s Glove Match was born, and it would go on to become one of the most feared match types in the territory days of wrestling.
The glove was so powerful that one punch was enough to knock somebody out, which is why the only way to get hold of one was to shimmy up a huge strut. WCW ran one of these matches as the main event of Halloween Havoc 1992, pitting Sting against Jake “The Snake” Roberts. When the Stinger hit Roberts with the glove, it forced him to shove a snake into his own face, which is how he lost the match.
WWE have never put on a Coal Miner’s Glove Match, although they did give the world the Coal Miner’s Nightstick Match between Big Boss Man and Test on a 1999 episode of Raw, although this was literally just a Nightstick on a Pole match.
