"Stipulation Matches"

If you were going to a live event which stipulation matches would you most like to see?

Mine would probably be

- TLC (after the IPW match its now my favourite stipulation match!)
- A Bullrope match
- A Casket Match
- Ladder Match
- Bra and Panties Match
- Last Man Standing
- Battle Royal
- I Quit Match
- 2 out of 3 falls

I don't like it for the same reason i don't like the Last Man Standing matches, it's far too much of a stop and start nature to it and ruins the flow of the match. *Aha take this bodyslam, now just to put the boots to ya...........oh darn gotta wait for the 10 count*

I like my chain wrestling

The Eddie Guerrero Vs Kurt Angle 2 out of 3 falls match was pretty good not too long ago. The whole cheating pulling the hair/straps was quite funny.

Seriously Kawada, I'm surprised you don't like World of Sport.

AHA, that'd be why i don't like them

I like two out of three falls, reminds me of the classic years of 'World of Sport'...

They would usually get around 30 minutes anyway (or at least if the booking team is smart they would give them around that much) sticking the ironman tag on it is needless. 60 minutes yes, 30 minutes no.

Never been a fan of 2 out of 3 falls either, annoys me for some reason. Don't know why, probably saw a poor match involving it and it put me off

The reason i asked is that there is a suggestion page on the IPW website and i think it would be cool for some stipulations!

However, i saw a highlight package of one of their events and they had a ladder match and it looked like someone got whacked round the face with a ladder!

Stipulation matches should be used in the later stages of a heated feud, in order to get across to the fans the increasing intensity of hatred between the two workers...

As Kawada said though, there is no replacement for two good workers who don't need a gimmick to get their match over.

Most stips are over-used these days and pop up with no reasoning behind them.

A match like a 2 out of 3 falls match or an ironman match doesnt always mean the wrestlers need the stipulation, it may be a stipulation match to showcase their talent in an exciting match. Like the ironman match for RAW with HBK Vs Angle. They dont NEED the stipulation, but it should be a good match to watch!

I'd prefer to see talented wrestlers who don't need stipulation matches to help them put on a good show

However my favourite stipulation match would be something like HHH vs Batista vs Orton vs Masters vs Snitsky in a exploding landmine match
