Normal Matches
One on One Match
This is obviously two people going head to head in a match where it’s one pinfall or submission to a finish. Disqualifications and count outs can also occur via various ways (ref bump, interference, ect.).
Triple Threat Match
This match sees three people step into the ring and duke it out with the first person scoring a pinfall or submission being the winner. There are no disqualifications or count outs in this match, though falls must take place in the ring.
Three Way Dance
Like the triple threat, three people face one another in the ring, but there’s a key difference…..the first person pinned or made to submit is eliminated from the match and from there, it becomes a one on one encounter.
Fatal Four Way
Four people enter the ring and the first one to score a pin or submission wins. Like with triple threats, no disqualifications or count outs can happen, though pinfalls must take place in the ring.
Tag Team Match
This is a standard two on two match between two teams. The object of this match is to work as a unit to score a pinfall or submission on the other team. Disqualifcations and count outs can occur.
Tag Triple Threat
Instead of three people in the ring like a normal triple threat, this match sees six as three teams will be in the match at once. Usually, tagging and in and out is enforced during such a match. The first team to score a pinfall or submission is the winner. Again, there’s no disqualifications or count outs.
Tag Three Way Dance
Like the normal three way dance, the first team that gets pinned or made to submit is eliminated while it becomes a standard tag match with the remaining teams from there. Tags are usually enforced and no disqualifications or count outs can occur.
Six Man Tag Match
This match type sees teams of three compete against one another. It’s standard rules with one fall to a finish and disqualifications and count outs can happen.
Gauntlet Match
This match sees two participants start in the ring at once in a normal one on one or two on two tag match. Once a winner has been declared, the winner remains in the ring while the loser leaves and another participant comes out. It keeps going on like this until the last participant comes out and a winner is declared. Order is usually chosen at random.
Elimination Match
This match seems usually more than four opponents in the ring at once. The object is to eliminate all of your opponents. There’s no count outs and no disqualifcations and once you’re pinned or submit, you’re eliminated. Last person standing is the winner.
Elimination Tag Match
This match seems teams of just two or more facing off. Once a person is pinned, they’re eliminated. Once an entire team has been eliminated, the opposing side wins.
Championship Scramble
In this match, five participants take part in a title match where there’s a designated time limit. During that limit, pinfalls and submissions can take place with the title ‘changing hands’. Whoever gets a pinfall or submission becomes the interim champion. Whoever is the interim champion by the end of the match when time runs out then becomes the official champion.
Battle Royal Variations
Standard Battle Royal

This match starts with two people chosen at random. They take part in a one on one encounter in the ring for a designated amount of time until someone else, again chosen at random, comes down to the ring and joins in.

Last person standing is the winner.
Extreme Rumble
A gauntlet battle royal with entry potions chosen at random and eliminations happening when someone gets thrown over the top rope to the arena floor. The only difference between this and a gauntlet battle royal is that in this match, every superstar is allowed to bring a weapon of their choice down to the ring with them. Last person standing is the winner.
First Blood Battle Royal
In this battle royal, weapons are legal and encouraged as the way to eliminate opponents is by making them bleed. The last person left standing and not bleeding is declared the winner.
Tag Team Turmoil
Like a standard battle royal, only with tag teams involved instead of individual wrestlers. In this match, every team starts in the ring at the same time and once a member is thrown over the top rope to the arena floor, that team is eliminated. Match continues until one team is left and that duo is crowned the winners.
Retrieval Matches
Ladder Match
One of the most standard of all retrieval style matches, the ladder match sees just a few or multiple participants in the match at once with the goal being to get a ladder, set it up in the ring and climb it to get whatever is hung above the ring. Whoever manages to get the title, contract or item that is suspended above the ring is declared the winner.

First one to hang the title is then declared the winner.
Crazy 8 Match
In this match, a scaffold is erected above the ring with a contract or title hanging above it. The first person to get the title or contract wins, however two sides of the ring have a cage wall piece erected on them and the two open sides have large chain link nets erected on the arena floor below them that are rigged to explode upon contact with anything.

Whichever team wins the coin toss gets to send another man out after a designated amount of time expires. Once that man is in, the clock starts to count down again and once it reaches zero, a member from the other team comes out. It goes on like this until every member of each team is in the ring, then the way to win is by making a member of the opposing team surrender, thus giving up.
Survival Cage Match
In this every man for himself match, two people start in the ring, inside of the cage and at the end of a designated time period, another person comes out. It goes like this until everyone in the match is in the ring. Once that happens, then the first person to get someone to pin or submit is declared the winner.

The winner of this barbed wire deathmatch wins the tournament and a shot at the Southwestern Heavyweight Championship.
The Enduro Cup
Representing pure, mat based wrestling and emphasizing physical endurance and strength, this tournament requires qualifying matches unlike the Wild 9. In the weeks leading into the main tournament, the field of competitors will become clear as people qualify, though there’s no set number on how many qualifying matches there’ll be. To kick off the night of the main tournament, a battle royal is held. Unlike the one held for the Wild 9, the goal of this one is to win as the winner will advance to the finals automatically. The number two, number three, number four and number five placed stars will remain in the tournament, advancing to two Best Two Out of Three Falls Matches while the rest of the field will automatically be eliminated from the tournament. The two second round winners will then meet up with the battle royal winner in a three way dance Submission Match. The last man standing will not only win the Enduro Cup trophy, but also get a shot at any title of their choice (thus allowing The Southwestern Heavyweight Champion to be a part of the field).
