WrestleZone’s Top Ten: Gimmick Matches

Number 8: King of the Mountain

Jeff Jarrett

One of my personal favorites, King of the Mountain took the traditional Ladder Match and made it perfect for TNA. They wanted to create something unique just for their company, so this is what they came up with. The winner is the first person to hang the title after climbing the ladder. The only thing is they needed to score a pinfall or submission to earn the right to climb. The person who was pinned would spend two minutes in a penalty box, which made it more interesting. I know many people may not like this, but I thought it was something different that worked. Jeff Jarrett's idea, from what many believe, was good enough to be used numerous times. A reverse ladder match, good enough for me to want to watch and buy. They tried and I give them credit for thinking outside the inside box.
