I'm convinced Whatculture is owned by Meltzer. They continually orally please AEW. Virtually all WWE Casket matches suck but Darby Fukin Allen can't have a bad casket match. 1st off Shawn vs Taker Rumble 97 is better than any Darby Casket match. Plus does anyone remember anything about a Darby match other than him always crashing throught the coffin? No, but people remember those horrible WWE casket matches because of the story told.

Triple H in 2011 and 2013 is an amazing special guest referee.

The Royal Rumble match is the only time I invite people over to watch wrestling. It’s fun to have a drinking game where you predict the next person to go over the top rope

Last Ride matches weren't wom by the move Last Ride. They had to put their opponent in a hearse and close the door hence them going on their "Last Ride" basically an ambulance match but with an Undertaker twist.

The only 3 stage of match which is good to watch is Austin vs HHH 2001. The other matches are forgettable. He is listing the best gimmick matches based on overall match quality it brought and the hype and history behind it.

I still maintain that a "Roulette" Battle Royale would work better than the current Casino Battle Royale. Instead of having people come out in groups, just bite the bullet and do it one at a time every 2 minutes like a Rumble, but have a roulette wheel spin to reveal the next entrant. Make it a digital one to control who actually comes out (for planning purposes) and so you can hide the yet-to-be-known entrants. Even though we'll know it's pre-determined, it still feels like a better version of the casino themed gimmick.

I mean, the Boneyard Match was technically a cinematic match from WWE. According to this video, though, it was horrible lol "You can't win the match until everyone's in the ring, which sucks" (laughs in WarGames)

We needed this a few weeks ago when we did this as a tournament

This could be a hot take, but I am a sucker for Last Man Standing matches. The concept has about a million possibilities for brutal, violent fun and the babyface barely moving after 6 gets me shaking in anticipation and anxiety. Announce a LMS match and I’m watching. Come at me if you want, see if I care.

The fact that there was such an incredibly bad move as forgetting to remove the strings from a piano before having a wrestler throw somebody through said table is insane. Like, there are 264 metal strings inside of a piano, most of which are strong enough that they can be used to slice flesh or strangle. And they just- didn't take the strings out?

Talking about the Taipei Deathmatch, they completely missed a chance to show footage from the Jean Claude Van Damme movie, Kickboxer

“A good ref is almost invisible” tell that to Jessica Carr.

Rhea Ripley's and Charlotte Flair's empty arena match at Wrestlemania 36 was great.

The AEW glazing is at an all time high with this one. Wouldn’t be surprised if Tony Khan proofread the script. Meltzer would be proud lol

The casket and stretcher match can be pretty exciting. One of my favorite matches of all time is a casket match and Brock Lesnar had an entertaining meeting with Big Show in a stretcher match.

I know it literally just happened and this was probably filmed a while ago, Maika and Momo Watanabe just had a pretty good 3 Stages Of Hell match. Not the level of Austin HHH or Michaels HHH but still pretty fine for Stardom's first time trying a stip like that.

The best gimmick match will always be the classic steel cage.

7:31 I thought that wasn't someone's toe at first

A lot of these matches should have been higher.

26:00 I love the Pure Style. I think that more titles should emphasize specific match types like this one, which allows for a fundamental break from the nearly anything goes nature of most wrestling matches. The contrast here makes it better and the regular type of match better.

Scaffold matches are the worst. Punches, no moves. Poor Bobby Eaton had to endure too many of these. And Big Bubba not catching you ruins your knees forever.

It was long but worth a watch.

You can win the Casino ladder match before all participants enter. No one has done it yet, though. I think it'd be a great way to kick off a program between multiple talents.

The Last Ride match was an Ambulance match but with a hearse instead

Man, whoever worked on this video did NOT do any research at all.

FACTS since the last time wwe did it was adam cole vs johnny gargano for the nxt championship at nxt takeover toronto and I’m kinda surprised aew has not done this type of match for a feud since they have done texas death, street fights, parking lot brawls, blood and guts aka wargames, steel cage, and anarchy in the arena matches before.

MCMG vs. Young Bucks had very solid empty arena match

Did I miss Heritage Cup match? I can't remember seeing it on the list, and I'm sure Noam Darr will be very disappointed....

A pure rule match is possibly one the of the best things to watch seeing two wrestlers doing proper pro wrestling and the 20 count just makes for better ring side spots and even more tense double count out spots

13:21 Boneyard Match, actually decent though.

What about a rank of the best match from every gimmick

I know TNA/Impact isn't anyone's favourite promotion but do your research The Hardys were doing cinematic matches in TNA/Impact before they were done in WWE or AEW. Plus Ultimate X deserves to be acknowledged as more than a ladder match variant. Did you even mention Monsters Ball?

I would definitely put Akebono vs. Big Show in the Top 10, maybe Top 5.

I generally agree with this channel. But omg this video is so far off. The top few are right, but everything after number 15 are in the wrong spot. So many great match types at the bottom, and so many bad ones higher

Was ultimate x and king of the mountain on here?

What is the consensus definition of “plunder spot?”

Gotta separate goofy ones vs those that were meant to be serious

Are you telling me you hated playing the Better than u topia matches in SVR '09/SVR '11 or watching Undertaker vs AJ Styles?

Most favourite gimmick match: Ladder Least favourite gimmick mach: Hell in a Cell.

So you guys hate professional but are completely obsessed with it? Besides the virtue signaling, that's what I gathered from watching this video.

It's what culture.. The kings of "Just Enjoy Wrestling" and "Stop Tribalism" yet are the most biased and Tribalistic clowns ever.

This is one of those topics where it might have been best to just do a list of all gimmick matches rather than rank them - its one of those things that nobody will ever agree on or say something or other should have been ranked higher than it was or lower than where it was placed. Can even see a semblance of disagreement in them compiling this list where some are described as older matches were good but recent ones sucked, which is why we ranked it so low... and then a few entries later they are saying that only one match was good and the rest all sucked but because of that one good match its ranked high.

This just in, AEW is the greatest wrestling organization of all time

You can tell which what culture commentators actually like wrestling (simon) and the ones who just like hating on it and being a social justice warrior (gareth)

Iron Survivor you should be much higher on the list than 36

24:15 for me the cody "I won't challenge for the belt if I lose" match was kind of ruined by MJF costing him the match accidentally. Personally if u're going to do a "I cost u the belt" angle imo it works better (and would've worked better here) if theres a heel turn with it. For example MJF "accidentally" costing Cody's chance to win the AEW title and hugging him to turn on him and beat him up would've worked better than the costs hiim the match im so sorry then we invent a secondary belt and give it to Cody as a makeup. TBF though without the TNT belt we wouldnt have gotten the "indie open challenge" (my term not AEW) that saw guys like Eddie Kingston get signed to AEW (was he the only one?)

So basically everything Aew does is amazing and everything any other company does is terrible
