You have to remember some things when trying to come up with new match types. Practicality is a major concern. For example, when CM Punk was around, he had a thing for barbed wire matches. While visually brutal when watching it on television, it's not practical in an efed setting. I mean, I for one, don't want to sit here and try and describe barbed wire tearing flesh a dozen times. I think this type of match falls into that category.

Punk was also all about the scaffold match. I made that one work better than I thought I would, and that we may see again somewhere down the line. I put a twist on it to make it work in an efed world. I made the scaffolding stationary and not free swinging like the old ECW ones. Competitors started in the ring, and so on.

It's usually better to take a match style that already exists and put your own spin on it that adds drama. Take Heymans Chamber of Horrors. It's nothing more than an elimination chamber match. Except inside the pods are weapons, not humans.

In the final analysis, you have to think about what would be appealing to read. On top of that, you have to remember that matches are about the competitors, not the environment they are on. You can't get too gimmicky. Is that a word?
