==Hardcore-based variations==
*''Main article: [[Hardcore Wrestling]]''

Hardcore wrestling is a subset of professional wrestling where some or all of the traditional rules do not apply. Most often this simply means there are no [[Disqualification|disqualifications]], which itself eliminates [[Countout|countouts]], allowing decisions to take place anywhere. Other common euphemisms for hardcore matches are Street Fight or Brawl (both of which suggest wrestlers dressing in normal street clothes), [[Xtreme Championship Wrestling|Extreme]] Rules, No Holds Barred match, Bimbo Brawl (involving female wrestlers) and Good Housekeeping match (which emphasized the use of kitchen implements as [[Foreign object|weapons]], in fact, the use of a Championship Belt as a weapon was deemed illegal, and the referee was allowed to restart the match if it was used).

Some promotions, such as [[Xtreme Championship Wrestling]], [[Juggalo Championship Wrestling]], and [[Combat Zone Wrestling]], have specialized in hardcore matches, with "standard" non-hardcore matches being the exception. [[World Championship Wrestling (WCW)|World Championship Wrestling]] utilized the term Russell's Rules for hardcore matches involving the wrestler [[Raven|Russell]]. They also created their own specific brand of hardcore match, for which bouts were to begin backstage rather than in the ring.
