No Disqualification Match (GWF)

From Iwe

A No Disqualification match, also known as a No Holds Barred match or sometimes as an Anything Goes match or Raven's Rules match, is a match where neither wrestler can be disqualified, allowing for weapons and outside interference. The key differences between a No Disqualification match and a standard hardcore match are that falls must be made in the ring, there is less emphasis on the use of weapons, and often the Count-Out rule is still in effect for No Disqualification matches. However, in a No Holds Barred match, the Count-Out rule is not observed, with a greater emphasis on weapons as opposed to a No Disqualification match. A match which does not observe disqualifications or count-outs, where pinfalls must take place in the ring, can also be known as an "Unsanctioned match", or, "Street Fight".

"No Disqualification, No Count-Out" matches may be used in feuds where a challenger may have won matches against the champion, but did not claim the championship because the champion was disqualified (championships may only change hands via pinfall or submission).
