WrestleZone’s Top Ten: Gimmick Matches

February 9, 2012

Number 6: Iron Man Match

A match that was remembered mostly by Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels, the Iron Man match cannot be done by most wrestlers. One hour of wrestling, with the winner being the competitor who gains the most pinfalls or submissions. Hart and Michaels went over one hour, into overtime at WrestleMania 12. You get a classic one on one match here, with the best of the best competing. Why is the Iron Man Match so good? You get everything, from submission to high flying to ground and pound. It shows the heart, the dedication, and the endurance of a certain wrestler. I absolutely love the Iron Man Match, even though it has been a while since we have seen one. That makes this match more special. If you are booked in this type of match, creative and the entire company have total confidence in everything you do. This may mean more than a championship in most eyes.
