Alright here’s the thing, Pole matches sometimes (and I mean rarely) have a useful premise. For example if a wrestler has been using a personal weapon unfairly, it’s a good match to even the playing field and give the heel a taste of his own medicine. Whilst in the WWE, William Regal used brass knuckles to his advantage, so Edge vs. Regal in a “Brass Knuckles on a Pole Match” made at least some sense. But over the years, the “On a Pole” stipulation has seen its fair share of ridiculous moments, and we mostly have WCW and Vince Russo to thank.
Here’s a selection of some of the worst/weirdest/most pointless “On a Pole” Stipulations in wrestling history.

After three years of twists, turns, tense negotiations and litigation, Barry Diller and John Malone have finally unraveled their complicated, 17-year business "marriage."
In a deal announced Thursday, Liberty Media has traded its 34% interest in Diller's Iac for $220 million in cash and the assets of Evite and Gifts.com. In classic Malone fashion, the deal is tax free to Liberty shareholders (of whom Malone is the largest).
And in an even bigger surprise, Diller also announced that he will surrender his duties as CEO of Iac to Greg Blatt, now CEO of one of his subsidiaries, Match.com, but will remain active as chairman of the board.
"It's been clear to me for some time that this company needs a full-time aggressive and aspirational executive in the CEO role," Diller said in a statement.
That seemed to suggest that Diller wasn't full time, when every indication is that he has...
