Match types in professional wrestling are often either notable due to its frequent use, logistics of setup, or a memorable instance of such a match. Some one-time match types are often notable either they are used as a finale to a popular or infamous storyline, or the execution of a match itself.
Because professional wrestling is a type of performance art, many match types are variations of existing match types, and thus matches can be organized into several loose groupings.
Variations of singles matches
The standard wrestling match (or One Fall Match) involves two wrestlers attempting to win the match through either pinfall, submission, disqualification, or countout. Some consider countout, where a wrestler leaves the ring and does not return in the ring after a ten-count, a form of disqualification. In Japanese puroresu, the ten-count is usually extended to a count of twenty, but the same rules apply to a count out.
In matches where championships are on the line, the champion typically retains the title in a disqualification or countout finish (even if the champion loses the match) - Total Nonstop Action Wrestling is a notable exception. Often storylines with heel champions may attempt to protect their title reign by forcing disqualifications or countouts.
Some of the most common variations on the singles match is to restrict the possible means for victory: Pin only or Pinfall match where only pinfalls are permitted, Submission match where only submissions are permitted, and so forth. Another variation is a Time Limit match in which a match is contested until a time limit is reached or a wrestler achieves victory - in the event of the former, a separate method (audience reaction, "judges", or even a rematch) is used to determine the winner. Time Limit matches were invented during the vaudeville days of professional wrestling as a way to stop matches that would last well unto hours, boring the crowd. A Battle of Respect is often held in tribute to another wrestler, where all means of victory are removed (that is, wrestlers simply wrestle each other for a fixed amount of time, without victory taken into consideration).
The following matches have their own articles due to them being commonplace, and thus information about these matches are in their own articles:
Barbed wire match;
"I Quit" match;
Iron Man match;
Monster's Ball match;
Two out of three falls match;
Ultimate X match;
TNA Wrestling had a main event at TNA No Surrender 2005 for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship between Raven and Abyss with a "No Surrender" stipulation, meaning that neither competitor would be permitted to submit or give up.
