I was recently watching the blindfold match between Jake Roberts and Rick Martel and I was thinking how cool it would be if WWE had another blindfold match.

Any 2 trained wrestlers can go in the ring and put on a match, but it takes some real talent to pull off a blindfold match and make it believable.

I was thinking John Cena vs. Alberto Del Rio would be a good one. I think those 2 guys could pull it off well.

I believe Hornswoggle vs. Chavo Guerrero was WWE's last Blindfold Match....well, 1/2 of the competitors at least. Lita and Mickie James had one, Jamie Noble and Nidia had one too, as did D'Lo Brown and Tripul Heysh (where both were blindfolded).

EDIT: There was also John Cena vs. Daivari.

I remember the buildup and everything to the Jamie Noble/Nidia one. I had gotten into wrestling fairly recently at the time and thought it was just silly.

The Roberts-Martel blindfold match barely worked, even for its time. The only reason it even barely worked was because Roberts was a master when he wanted to be. That may be the only blindfold match that hasn't been an unmitigated disaster. Its a different time now and the blindfold match is better left forgotten.

There are far too many gimmick matches in wrestling as it is, lets not bring back the ones that can never end in anything but disaster.
