Blood, Pride, Death Match

A Blood, Pride, Death Match (also called Blood, Pride and Death Match) is a professional wrestling match seen in the Universal Wrestling League The match is very similar to that of a Last Man Standing Match, 3 Stages of Hell Match, and Street Fight, with other influences taken from First Blood and Submission Matches. Matt Mathews acredited with the creation of the match.

=Concept and Creation= The Blood, Pride, Death Match was initially introduced by Matt Mathews back in the summer of 2007 by Matt Mathews as a part of his long standing feud with Andrew "Inferno" Fyre in the Kingdom of Pride wrestling organization. Mathews/Fyre is considered one of the more violent feuds during KoP's time of operation, primarily due to Mathews' vicious assaults not only on Andrew, but on his immediate family memembers. Eventually Mathews was challanged to a Burning Hammer Match, however he declined, and instead threw and offer of his own at Fyre, which was the Blood, Pride and Death Match. However, the show the match was set to take place on was canceled, and in due time, KoP itself closed down, thus the match never took place.

It wasn't until a year later in the UWL that this match would be seen. During his long standing feud with Johnny Slayer, which has crossed over two companies, the two men got to a point where they could not even finish matches anymore with a clean fall, or without a brawl. Sick of wasting his time on Slayer, Mathews was able to get the match booked after nearly two months of pleading with management and increasing the intensity of his feud with Slayer. The first ever Blood, Pride, Death Match will take place on August 30, 2008.

The match layout was described by Mathews as, "simple to understand." The match follows standard no disqualification rules, and the falls can be met anywhere in the arena. In order to win you must complete three tasks in a predetermined order. First you had to make your opponet bleed, referring to Blood. Next you had to make your opponet submit or say "mercy", similar to a Submission Only mixed with an I Quit Match, this refers to Pride. Finally you had to keep your opponet down for a ten count, similar to a Last Man Standing Match, this refers to Death. When Mathews announced the match to the UWL crowd on July 30th he added a new stipulation not seen a year prior; it stated that all outside parties were banned from ringside, thus making the match a true way to end feuds.
