Hardcore wrestling is a form of professional wrestling where disqualifications, count-outs, and all other rules do not apply. Taking place in usual or unusual environments, hardcore wrestling matches allow the use of numerous foreign objects as improvised weapons, including ladders, Singapore canes, tables, chairs, thumbtacks, barbed wire, light tubes, shovels, glass, and baseball bats (sometimes wrapped in barbed wire). Although hardcore wrestling is a staple of most wrestling promotions, where they are often used at the climaxes of feuds, some promotions (such as Big Japan Pro Wrestling, International Wrestling Syndicate, IWA Mid-South, Game Changer Wrestling, Combat Zone Wrestling) specialize in hardcore wrestling, with many matches performed in this manner.
