Monster's Ball match

Last updated

A Monster's Ball match is a professional wrestling, hardcore match type that originated in and is primarily staged by Impact Wrestling (formerly TNA). The key premise of the Monster's Ball is that all contenders are (kayfabe) sequestered alone in a locked room without light, food, or water for 24 hours before the match. This stipulation is meant to induce extreme feelings of aggression in the competitors. Once released, the wrestlers fight one another in a no disqualification match, with the usage of weapons encouraged. Victory can be achieved by pinfall or submission, with the match ending as soon as one wrestler is pinned or submits (there is no elimination format).

Contents

There have been 56 Monster's Ball matches conducted by Impact Wrestling, with several unaffiliated independent promotions hosting the match type as well. It was the signature match stipulation of Abyss. Before his retirement in 2019, he had appeared in 48 of the 50 Monster's Ball matches held by Impact to that point and managed in another. Due to the hardcore nature of the match, the Monster's Ball typically features numerous high spots. Frequently used weapons include thumb tacks, "Janice" (a board filled with nails, Abyss's signature weapon), and barbed wire.
