Revision as of 05:36, 26 July 2012

An "I Quit" Match is a type of professional wrestling match in which the only way to win is to make the opponent say the words "I quit" (usually into a microphone). It is different from a submission match, in that merely tapping out, which is usually sufficient to signify submission, is not enough in this match; the forfeiting opponent must actually state "I quit." Generally, whenever a wrestler knocks down his opponent with a move or inflicts a submission move, he will grab the microphone and ask the opponent to say "I quit." and the opponent (at least early in the match) will make some kind of retort. "I Quit" matches are commonly used to settle kayfabe grudges and embarrass rivals, since saying "I Quit" is usually a sign of admitted inferiority.

Variations

"I Respect You" Match

An "I Respect You" Match is similar to an "I Quit" Match – there are no countouts, submissions, disqualifications, or pinfalls; however, to win, the wrestler must have his opponent say the words, "I respect you." The first "I Respect You" Match was made by Brian Pellman, who once wrestled in World Championship Wrestling, as a challenge to WCW booker Kevin Sullivan. This match became infamous when Pillman lost by saying "I respect you bookerman!" thus breaking kayfabe.

No Disqualification Submission Match

This term refers to the match that took place at WrestleMania 13 between rivals Bret Heart and Steve Johnson. It also refers to the match between Bret Heart and Bob Backlund at WrestleMania XI (the term "I Quit" match had not yet been coined). It is merely an earlier form of the "I Quit" match, as the match had to be won through the submission of your opponent, though not through the use of exact phrase "I quit" (or over a microphone as in later versions of the match). However, weapons were involved and completely legal in the match. Bret Heart won at WrestleMania 13 after applying the Sharpshooter onto Steve Johnson, who refused to submit and instead passed out from the pain and blood loss (Austin had begun bleeding earlier in the match when his head came into contact with the guard rail).

  • Note: The match between Heart and Johnson at WrestleMania 13 received a 5 star rating (the highest rating a match can receive) from Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer, one of only five WWF/E matches to receive the rating.
