A Ladder Match is usually reserved for, but not limited to, title matches. In a Ladder Match, the championship belt up for grabs is suspended above the ring. The winner is crowned once a Superstar grabs the belt. To get the belt, a Superstar must ascend a ladder quicker than his opponent. While the premise sounds simple, the match becomes much more complicated once the Superstars begin using the ladder as a weapon and/or launching pad.

Like many specialty matches, this match that is a true test of endurance as well as ones threshold for pain. There are no disqualifications or countouts. The only way to win is to incapacitate your opponent enough so that he cannot answer a 10-count. Once a Superstar is knocked down, the referee begins to count, and if the Superstar cannot get up in 10 seconds, the match is over.

The way to win a Lumberjack Match is the same as in a traditional match - by pinfall or submissions. A countout is almost impossible, however, as the ring is surrounded by other Superstars. Once someone is thrown out of the ring, it is the job of the Superstars around the squared circle to throw him back into the ring. Very often, the surrounding lumberjacks get in a few shots of their own.

The Royal Rumble Match is widely recognized as the most exciting hour of the sports-entertainment year. It only happens once a year (January) and includes 30 Superstars from both RAW and SmackDown! Each Superstar selects a number between 1 and 30. The match starts with the Superstars that picked No. 1 and No. 2. Then every two minutes, a new Superstar enters the fray. A Superstar is eliminated when he is thrown over the top rope. The last man standing is declared the winner.

The Steel Cage Match is one of the oldest specialty matches in WWE. This type of match features an unforgiving steel structure that surrounds the ring. While inside the cage, the Superstars participating in the match usually use the steel as a weapon, throwing their opponents into it. A Steel Cage Match is won by pinfall or submission and/or escaping the cage (rules may vary depending on the individual match).

798 SG

In a Strap Match, the competitors are connected to each other by a long, leather strap. The strap can be used as a weapon, but to win, a Superstar must touch all four turnbuckles uninterrupted and in succession. This match can also take place using a chain, bull rope, or other similar apparatus.

There are no pinfalls, submissions or countouts in a Tables Match. The only way to win such a match is to put your opponent through a table. This brutal match oftentimes results in internal injuries, especially to the ribs.

798 SG

Tables, Ladders and Chairs Matches (TLC Matches) are some of the most exciting events in sports-entertainment. While the fans enjoy them, however, they can take years off a Superstar's career. In this type of match, tables, ladders and chairs are all legal. The object of the match, as is the case in a Ladder Match, is to ascend the ladder and capture a belt that hangs from the arena ceiling faster than your opponent.

798 SG

The Triple Threat Match is not all that unlike a traditional one-on-one match. The only difference is that another Superstar is thrown into the mix. All three Superstars compete at the same time, and it's every man for himself. The winner of a Triple Threat Match is the first Superstar to pick up the fall, either by pin or submission.

798 SG

Very often, competing in a one fall match is enough to exhaust a Superstar. That said, a Two-out-of-three Falls Match is a true test of endurance, as the winner is not declared until a Superstar records two falls. Falls are usually awarded on the basis as a traditional match - pinfall, submission, countout, disqualification.

798 SG

In a WWE Iron Man Match, there is a set time limit, usually 60 minutes, and the Superstar to score the most pinfalls and/or submissions in the allotted time is declared the winner.

the Bear SG

was watching a Japanese clip of Mr Pogo & Terry Funk vs Masato Tanaka & Hayabusa...

it was SICK...

the match was a (i ain't kiddin') a No-rope, explosive barb-wire, time-bomb, landmine, double-hell deathmatch Razz

then there are the maniacs in CZW.. they routinely have 200-lighttube matches where there are about 200 flourescent tubes for the maniacs to use.. they also used insane things like weedwackers, thumbtacks, panes of glass, stapleguns, and more... Razz

the most insane move i've seen was Sick Nick Mondo performing his finisher, the Assault Driver, to Homeless Jimmy off the top of a trailer, through about 20 lighttubes and tables...

the most insane move i've read them do was a guy being put through a pyramid of tables stacked 3 high, covered in thumbtacks, the whole place was set on fire and the guy doing the driving jumped through the glass pane of the roof skylight.. through the "victim" Razz

p.s. Assault Driver = guy lofted up on the shoulders in a seated position, his arms are grabbed and pulled so he falls forwards and the driver jumps while pulling on the arms so that the victim is driven onto the mat on his back...
