10 Famous Match Stipulations Never Used By WWE

WWE didn't fancy using these 10 famous match stipulations

1. World War 3

World war 3 1998

WWE has borrowed a lot of things from WCW over the years. WarGames, The Great American Bash, nonsensical storylines with no payoff, but one thing they’ve never taken from them is the concept of World War 3. From 1995 to 1998, WCW held an enormous three-ring, 60-man battle royal at a November pay-per-view named after this insane match type. Though the first one was for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, later incarnations rewarded its winner with a title shot at Starrcade.

Even in their wildest dreams, WWE have never done an over-the-top-rope match with this many people. They’ve also never done a match type with three rings, despite owning the rights to World War 3 since 2001.

So why is this? Perhaps it’s because WWE are happy to stick to the Royal Rumble concept. Or perhaps it’s because a match with 60 people in it at the same time is an unwatchable mess.
