This is either a good idea or a bad one...
 

Anyway, I had this idea, based on ROH's Pure Title.

I was going to call it the Catch Division. The premise is No DQ, No Countout, No Weapons. The match can be ended only by Pinfall, Submission, or KO.

The concept is a more MMA-based division. It will give props to the best wrestlers, but enough of a rub for Brawlers to get ahead, as well.

Comments, disses.

not bad...just makes me miss the Pure title in ROH

But if there are no DQs and the match can only end with a Pinfall, Submission or KO, what happens if they use weapons?

I probably hadn't fleshed the whole thing out yet. I was probably gonna have to add a "No Leaving the Ring" rule.

So what happens if they leave the ring?

:shifty:

DQ. ;)

God Damn it, you're making this too complicated.

:mad:




:shifty:

That's what everyone tells Vince Russo but it doesn't stop him.

They'd be disqualified. By "No DQ" I'm sure Vastardikai meant that there are no holds barred. You're allowed to use closed fists to the face, your toes to kick, chokes, etc. There would be no rope breaks to ease the pace of a match.

It'd be like one of Ring of Honor's "Fights Without Honor," only, well...with honor.

Yeah, no shit.

Then stop wasting the guy's time by asking him questions you already know the answer to.

No.

Hey Vas, if there's no exiting the ring, how can there be no countouts?

lol

:lol:

Looks like the needle's pointing towards the latter part of the title.

COME ON SON...bring it home, Vas.

Because, if you cannot leave the ring, then there is no possible way to be counted out. Hence, no countouts. :roll:

Then why make it a rule in the first place?

It's not a rule. It's a premise.

Take a joke for once.

I was gonna go with ropebreaks. Maybe something similar to Pure Rules in that respect with a limited number. If someone falls out of the ring on accident, all action stops and the guy has to get back into the ring. If he refuses or is unable, its considered a TKO. Not necessarily a 10 or 20 count but a "Get in the Ring right now or the match is over" type of warning. Kind of a semantics thing, I know.

I was considering the "no exiting the ring" thing more as a way to prevent stalling and eliminating the ability to go for a weapon.

Noid was right with the No DQ concept being more along the lines of No Holds Barred. I was also going to allow for eye gouges, throat shots, and biting.

And, just to say, this was basically a concept. I hadn't had the time to actually flesh anything out. And I am pretty sure Xero is giving me hell on that part of it.

;)

Too many titles any way. Would rather see a return of the tag titles.
