Gotta Love a Gimmick - Chamber of Horrors Match


It's been a little while since I've posted a Gimmick on this site, and so I thought I'd give you all this doozy. One of the most absurd WCW matches of all time, by far, the Chamber of Horrors Match from Halloween Havoc 1991.

Let me set the scene. Sting, The Steiner Brothers, and El Gigante take on Cactus Jack, Big Van Vader, Abdullah the Butcher, and the Diamond Studd (Scott Hall). Inside of a Steel Cage.

So that's not too weird (even though the pairings are sort of odd, like Gigante and Sting). But whatever. Only that's not all. At one point in the match a smaller cage drops into the big cage with an "electric" chair inside of it. The whole point of the match? Get one of the four guys you're fighting into the chair, and "electrecute him" (obviously not really) using a switch somewhere else in the cage. No pin falls or submissions...just total ridiculousness. To add to to it, the referee has a camera on his head. What do they call it? The refer-eye camera. Niiiiice WCW.

I won't tell you what happens, so you'll have to watch the video yourself. I will tell you that the ending of the match is rather shocking (ha ha ha).

And here's part one of the match for those of you who are curious.
