In this match, 200 fluorescent light tubes are
available as legal weapons. Victory is by pinfall
only.


=== Asylum Match ===

This match takes place in a circular, chain-link
cage in the center of the ring. The only way to
win is by submission.


=== Barbed Wire Match ===

This is a very dangerous type of match. The
ropes are taken down and replaced with barbed
wire. Maneuvers such as the Irish Whip can be
used to do a lot of damage in a hurry. Most
moves change to 1d8 base damage when
involving barbed wire, or 1d10 damage when
involving tables or ladders and barbed wire. All
maneuvers involving throwing the opponent
into barbed wire get the Save Negates Damage
maneuver modifier.

''Example:'' Terry Funk Irish Whips Sabu toward
barbed wire. Sabu makes his Reflex save and
thus manages to stop himself short of the barbed
wire before being spiked on it.
All maneuvers executed while being wrapped in
barbed wire receive the Endurance Cost
modifier. You may only wrap yourself or your
opponent in barbed wire if your opponent is
stunned/distracted. If both wrestlers are wrapped
in barbed wire, the one who holds the initiative
must make a fortitude save (DC 15), to separate
himself from his opponent. Otherwise, both
combatants are tangled up together in barbed
wire and may only use simple maneuvers until
separated.

Wrestlers involved in this match usually tape
their hands heavily; the barbed wire is very
sharp and they may utilize it during a match,
cutting off strands of it with wire cutters. Both
wrestlers are often a bloody mess at the end of
this match, and often have to have barbed wire
clipped away from their bodies! This is a No
Disqualification match.

throws his opponent onto the coals outside of
the ring.


=== Catch-as-Catch-Can Match ===

This type of match was popular in the early
1900’s. It stipulated that any maneuver that
wasn’t intended to inflict damage was legal.
Thus, wrestlers would use many amateur
wrestling and submission techniques. Another
stipulation was that a match could be won by
forcing your opponent to the arena floor, much
like a battle royal.
