== Iron Man Match ==


'''Quote:''' An Iron Man match (originally known as a "WWF Ironman Match") is a professional wrestling match that originated in the now-renamed World Wrestling Federation in 1996 when acting WWF president "Rowdy" Roddy Piper made the WWF championship match at WrestleMania XII between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels into such a match. The man with the most pinfalls, submissions, count out and disqualification victories at the end of a given time limit is declared the winner. Should the match result in a tie, sudden death overtime may be requested by either wrestler as a plot device, and it is accepted or rejected by either an opponent or a higher (on-screen) wrestling authority.
Because of the fixed time limit, Iron Man matches have a tendency to lose their audience in the middle of a match, with a quick flurry of action near the end. Often, an Iron Man match will have the wrestlers tied or holding a one-point advantage going into the final minutes, with one wrestler attempting to make a tying or winning pin.
The Iron Man match was done as a throwback to the days of classic wrestling in the 1940s and 1950s where wrestlers would usually wrestle for an hour before an outcome would be determined. At the time of the first Iron Man match in the WWE, this type of wrestling was hardly seen in the United States due to strict television time limits. However, this type of wrestling has been a staple of the Japanese puroresu scene for years.
Recently, Iron Man Matches have frequently been reduced to 30 minutes in length, rather than the established 60 minutes.

'''KYR Rules'''

Winner of this match is the one with the most pinfalls and submissions, count out victories, and DQ victories in a set time limit.

The time limit is determined by the GM (usually 30 minutes or 60 minutes).

Each round, the GM rolls 1d4 to determine how many minutes have passed.

If tied at the end of the time limit, a Sudden Death round may be declared with the next wrestler to gain a pinfall or submission being declared the winner. This is at the GM’s discretion.
