What was your favorite custom gimmick matches for your fig fed? I'm trying to come up with a new one right now and need inspiration.

Do you have a dog?
One of my least favourite matches I ever had with my figures was the “leave my figures unattended and whichever one the dog didn’t chew to bits wins” match.

10 Contracts, 6-Man Ladder Match
Six men are in the match with ten contracts hidden in envelopes hanging above the ring. One enveloped contains a shot at the World Title, one a shot at the Intercontinental Title, two contain a shot at the Tag Team Titles with the two men grabbing the tag title contracts being forced to team, and one contains a pink slip. 5 are empty while means that the competitor will have to try and grab another contract with something in it.

I like this, how does one hang ten contracts up? |

I like this, how does one hang ten contracts up? I had cut a cardboard box in half and put it up against the wall of my bedroom. I would then staple pieces of paper to string then staple that to the top of the cardboard box that hangs over the ring. So you have cardboard against the wall, and a flap that dangles above the ring with the contracts. |

One of my favorites that I would do was a Title match, I called it a gauntlet match, but it wasn’t like the gauntlet matches that are in WWE. I would usually do this with the Intercontinental Championship, but think I remember doing a few Tag Team Championship Gauntlet matches too.
It’s actually a set of 3 matches, that involves 8 wrestlers or 8 teams. It’s basically 2 Fatal Four Way matches, with the winners of each of those matches going one on one for the Title later in the night. You can either use this to crown a new champion if the title is vacant, or the champion can be in one of the Fatal 4 way matches, trying to retain their title through it all. It was always fun to play, because with 8 people involved it wasn’t always clear who was gonna make it to the one on one Title Match. The person going into the pay per view with the Championship , might not even be in the Title match at the end of the night, as the Title could change hands in the 4 way match that he was a part of.

None of these were from my childhood, but were matches used when I booked an efed a few years back. Similar enough IMO though.
The Double Jeopardy Cage Match.
Settled a tag team feud. One member each from two team goes one on one inside a cage (no escape) The winner (the heel) gains his partner for a handicap match. Finish wash the 2nd partner of the babyface team climbing to the top of the cage from the outside, knocking one heel to the mat into their partner to allow the other babyface to win the match.
The Double Ladder Match. Another tag team match. Typical ladder match set up, but have both tag title belts hung separately. Match ends when both belts are pulled down. Used it to put the titles on one member of 2 feuding teams, have them be unable to co-exist as champions and either lose the titles and continue to feud while shifting the belts to another team OR have a one on one match for the tag titles and it go to a No decision, vacating them and giving me an excuse to run a tournament.
Elimination Series Less a match, of course, than a series of matches. Used to fill a vacant title or to name a number 1 contender. Pick a Number (I always went with 6) Start with a 6 way match. Person who takes the pin is eliminated. The Next week/card/etc.. the remaining 5 have another match & again, person who takes the pin is eliminated. Lather, rinse repeat until you get to the final 2, then throw them in a cage or give it an extra gimmick (submission, No DQ, etc..)
Also liked the 20 or 30 minute Scramble match concept the WWE did once and never brought back and used it on occasion.

When I was a kid my brothers and I used to stack all of our figs in the ring, sometimes up to a foot high, and then shake the ring. Whoever was left won the match.
Spoiler Alert: this will scuff the sh*t out of your figs. I used to do this with my WCW OSFTM figs and well...I don’t think I have to tell you how they look now.
