Given we're coming close to Halloween: What's your favourite 'spooky/weird shit' in pro wrestling?
Was it a gimmick? A faction? Storyline? What weird fucking spooky shit in pro wrestling tops your lists.
Or..do you just hate the spooky shit and prefer your wrestling to just be straight faced and logical?
Either way, tell us!
I'm a sucker for dopey monster gimmicks of all sorts. Love all those weird Memphis monsters, love WWE gimmicks like The Boogeyman, love all of it.
At a local show I went to, they had a dragged to hell match.
It was basicay a bunch of extras in masks hiding under the ring. If you fall out of the ring they try to grab you and pull you under. You have to get back in the ring quickly.
The person that gets dragged under the ring loses.
It was fun and they added lots of fog. I wish I could find a video of it.
Edit: I found a fan video but it’s from the worst angle and you don’t see the demons under the ring. But you get the gist of it. I don’t think the company put out the video for it yet.
Sounds like a great alternative to the standard lumberjack match!
I love me some mist spots and pretty much any asian wrestler who does it. I always keep trying to spot when they load the capsule and such before the move.
Gangrel is still the shit.
When Asuka wiped it in the eyes of Bianca for the win it was beautiful
Such a great use of it!
When it's obviously just a fun gimmick I love the stupid shit. Rey Mysterio and Seth Rollins was dumb as fuck, but I had a good time. A lot of the stuff from the pandemic era if you weren't trying to take it seriously. Pretty much anything Bray Wyatt. The Undertaker and AJ boneyard match was really good
I'm a sucker for NXT's Halloween Havoc. I love spin the wheel things. The Devil's Playground shit was surprisingly good. Wendy Choo and Tiffany Stratton was a banger. That might not have been Halloween, but the lights were out, so we will call it spooky
Hardy Compund matches can be fun, and you know Jeff loves the super natural. Danhausen is always hilarious. Always.
I like to smark out, but I can also just have some goofy fucking fun. Doesn't hurt anybody, and there will be plenty more regular wrestling when it is done
I love all the spooky shit, whether it’s dramatic or comedic. I spent a lot of time during lockdowns watching Rosemary (and Bunny) vlogs and their storyline in TNA. And I was a huge fan of the soap opera rivalry and tag team of Kane and Undertaker.
I'm a sucker for any spooky shit. As a kid I didn't watch wrestling but Undertaker was still my favorite, and the Wyatt Family was partly responsible for finally getting me to watch.
WHERE TO, STEPHANIE??!!!
