First one that comes to mind is the Gimmick Battle Royale from Mania 17. Total fan service/nostalgia deal, but it made me so happy to see some of those old guys back. Few times in my life have a laughed so hard as when Heenan said "By the time the Sheik gets to the ring, it'll be Wrestlemania 38!"
If we're going a little more serious, maybe Piper and Valentine's dog collar match? What all are we counting as a gimmick match?

Kenny Omega Reportedly Irked People With Line In Backstage Speech:
Several weeks back, AEW put together a compulsory talent meeting backstage, and while Tony Khan did most of the speaking during that, the EVPs (Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks) also addressed the talent. However, according to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, some of the comments that Omega made during that time irked some of the talent on the roster. The former AEW World Champion reportedly gave a pep talk to those in attendance, but that also included some tough love. Omega apparently claimed that eight out of 10 of the people he wouldn't have hired, which was the line in question that apparently caused the frustration.
It is confirmed that he said that line during the meeting, but one version of events stipulates that he was simply joking in this moment. Omega was looking at Will Ospreay, with whom he has been feuding with online and in the ring during the recent AEW World Trios Championship tournament, but he was apparently just messing with the Englishman, and many laughed about it.
However, while some found the comment to be a joke, others took it seriously and were upset about the comment. There was reportedly a split amongst those at the meeting, with some believing it was misinterpreted, and then taken out of context, but there were certain wrestlers that did not like what he had to say. Outside of that comment, Omega did also say that the energy of the locker room was more positive when the company first started, which was taken as him trying to recreate that amongst those currently signed with AEW.

Well at the start it was elite + friends in terms of talent and backstage so it makes sense seeing that everyone was thankful for a job.
If I'm TK, I figure out a way to get Punk out of AEW. It's much easier him than all the people who got hired due to their ties to the elite. The atmosphere in the company would suck if TK sided with him.

So when Kenny's contract is up with AEW, does he go back to Japan to be with Kota or does he go to the E and make some real money?

According to Brian Last (
jshortt
) a lot of people backstage aren't for the Bucks/Omega and are simply scared of losing their jobs if they publicly speak out against them. So many people are with Punk there. (Supposedly)Plus, TK isn't firing his biggest star.

That's Why picking sides in this whole situation is tricky. Either way, your party is going to have some dirt on them.
Speaking of which, do we know where TK and the Bucks stand politically?
We Know where, "What if there were a White Entertainment Television" DemoGod Stands.
