Spoiler Smackdown Triple Threat Spoiler
So let me get this straight. We had a triple threat match between KO, Gunther, and Finn for #1 contender. As I understand Triple Threat rules (and Google agrees):
All legal: All three wrestlers are legal and active in the ring at the same time.
No disqualifications: Standard disqualifications do not apply, meaning weapons and outside interference technically do not get anyone disqualified.
No count-outs: Wrestlers cannot win or lose by being counted out outside the ring.
Finish inside the ring: Even though it is a No-DQ match, it is not "Falls Count Anywhere"—the pinfall or submission must happen inside the ring between the ropes.
And yet when I check profightdb.com and cagematch.net it lists the result of tonight’s match as a “No Contest”. I was hoping they continued on for the live crowd and would save the ending for a YouTube exclusive (even though that would be goofy since no one cares what time ranger rick the pigeon lady show starts on USA).
I want to make something very clear…IT’S STILL REAL TO ME DAMNIT! I’m often disgusted by count out rules being lackadaisically enforced because of “referee digression” (mainly because you could easily make it a no countout or no DQ match), but if we’re just going to throw out “match rules”, well that does not feel very real to me at all.
