Also I went to the internets to search out more deathmatches for more possible options. And, really all I have to say is...Japan is fucking weird. Barefoot Thumbtack match What it says on the tin. Wrestlers wrestle barefoot in a ring filled to the brim with thumbtacks. Crisis Big Born death match This is a Big Japan match which combines several deathmatch types. The match starts out on a scaffold above a barbed wire net over a ring. The ring itself is surrounded by cactus, fire stones (electric space heaters wrapped in barbed wire) and dry ice. Thumbtacks are scattered in the ring. In the middle of the ring is a tank of scorpions. Various weapons including light bulbs, bats, drills, saws and swords are permitted. The match is fought with all members of two teams active at the same time under street fight rules. When all the wrestlers have fallen into the barbed wire net, the next phase of the match begins. The barbed wire net is removed and the match continues. Wrestlers leave the match by submission, by having their head put in the scorpion tank for ten seconds or by passing out. Circus Top High Tower death match This match features a scaffold next to the ring and a net made of barbed wire. The net is attached to the ropes, and the only way to win is by pinning the opponent in the net. The first match was between Mad Man Pondo and Ryuji Ito in Japan. Desert death match The ring is surrounded by cactus. A tank of scorpions is placed in the middle of the ring. The match is won by holding the head of a wrestler in the scorpion tank for ten seconds. Explosion match Usually accompanied with barbed wire ropes, a large barbed wire wrapped explosion board is placed in the ring laced with a small amount of C-4. The loser is the man that is blown up. In another variation, the match ends with a pin or submission and the explosives serve as weapons. Firestone death match This is a standard death match where the ring is lined with electric space heaters wrapped in barbed wire. The match can be lost by submission or when one of the wrestlers passes out. 2/3 Lightube Log Cabin death match A match where the only way to win is to smash or put the opponent through two lightube "log cabins". The most famous match with this variation is Sick Nick Mondo vs. John Zandig. Unlucky 13 Unlucky 13 is a death match invented by Ian Rotten where, in order to win, a wrestler must staple seven out of thirteen dollar bills to their opponent. |

The Snacky-Smores Guy

It just said Roxie signed up for a unnamed tournament and got a contract/waiver for it. I'd imagine something like this they'd have some kind of announcement backstage or whatever to see whose interested before telling the fans. Because if it was announced to the fans first and then opened up, what happens when people don't sign up? Disappointed fans, that's what happens! It's like a parade. You make sure you can have one before telling the populace it's coming. A lot easier to disappoint participants than ticket holders. They're...not as forgiving. Party on, Joe. ~eat snacky smores~ |

That's kind of what I was thinking. The idea too was to have the match types get more progressively brutal as the tournament wears on. Second round is going to be more combining the stipulations if that makes sense. Like a Taipei Deathmatch but inside the Rage in a Cage. Or a Barbed Wire Ropes, Barbed Wire Boards match, or Plates of Glass/Fans Bring the Weapons match. And the way it's gonna' go down, Jo, is like how Jericho started Money in the Bank as I've explained before. Basically Erik is gonna' come out and cut a promo during the show, explain what the tournament is, and tell any interested parties that they have seven days to sign up before the fun begins. That's why I was kinda hoping everybody could temper their excitement until the promo goes up, but I can still work with it I think. I love that you're chomping at the bit to get this moving, but I've got a set idea in my head I'd like to follow. |
