The opponents start in the first cell and fight their way up to the second vell In this cell there can be Weapons or someother special Item needed to continue on in the match and get to the third Cell. Once in the third cell the competitors will have to escape the cells through a hatch in the top of the cell from there they will have to set up the ladder and remove the Belt or other item from the hook above
Devils Playground is one of the bloodiest matches in the WCW. The match takes place in a cell where the chain links have been replaced by barbwire. Hanging from the cell are weapons of various types from Brass knuckles to Kendo Sticks all suspended above. Being 13 feet above the ring this forces the wrestlers to climb the cell in order to use the weapons.
The Ambulance Match is one of the rarest in WCW. Very few times have two Superstars competed in such a competition. The rules are simple, as there is only one -- the winner is the first Superstar to place his opponent into a ringside ambulance and close the door. Everything else is legal. As a result of this,

In a battle royal, a set number of Superstars (usually 20) all start in the ring at the sametime. When the bell rings, the Superstars go at it and it’s every man for himself. A Superstar is eliminated from the match once he is thrown over the top rope and both feet touch the floor. The winner of the battle royal is the last man standing.
Blind Fold match In this match, one or (usually) both Superstars have to wear a blindfold. Other than that, normal rules apply and the winner is decided by pinfall or submission. The first ever Blindfold Match was at WrestleMania VII between Jake "the Snake" Roberts and "The Model" Rick Martel. Martel had blinded Roberts when he sprayed him in the eyes with his cologne, Arrogance. The action resulted in a temporary loss of sight for Roberts. So Martel could feel what being blinded was like, both opponents were blindfolded for the match.
The Boiler Room Brawl is almost non-existent in today's WCW. However, prior to much more ringside weapons into matches, the Boiler Room Brawl was used as a way to get such items as ladders and steel pipes into matches.

The Buried Alive Match can literally change the direction of one's career. The object of this match is to throw your opponent into a six-foot deep grave.

As a result, Taker was missing from the WWE scene for months. When he returned at WrestleMania XX, however, Undertaker was the Deadman of old.
The Undertaker is single-handedly responsible for bringing the Casket Match to WWE. The object of this match is to beat your opponent to the point where he can no longer get up. Then put him in a ringside casket and close the lid. The first person to successfully do this is declared the winner

A Superstar can only be eliminated when he is pinned or submits. The last man standing in this match is declared the winner.
Anything goes in a Falls Count Anywhere Match. Very often, the action spills out to the concession stands, to the bathroom or even outside the arena. When this happens, the referee must follow the action, as a fall can count absolutely anywhere.

Very often, these matches are of an elimination style, with the last man scoring a decision being declared the winner. In other cases, a Fatal Four Way Match ends with the first Superstar to score a decision picking up the win.

A Ladder Match is usually reserved for, but not limited to, title matches. In a Ladder Match, the championship belt up for grabs is suspended above the ring. The winner is crowned once a Superstar grabs the belt. To get the belt, a Superstar must ascend a ladder quicker than his opponent. While the premise sounds simple, the match becomes much more complicated once the Superstars begin using the ladder as a weapon and/or launching pad.
Last man Standing Like many specialty matches, this match that is a true test of endurance as well as one’s threshold for pain. There are no disqualifications or countouts. The only way to win is to incapacitate your opponent enough so that he cannot answer a 10-count. Once a Superstar is knocked down, the referee begins to count, and if the Superstar cannot get up in 10 seconds, the match is over.
The way to win a Lumberjack Match is the same as in a traditional match - by pinfall or submissions. A countout is almost impossible, however, as the ring is surrounded by other Superstars. Once someone is thrown out of the ring, it is the job of the Superstars around the squared circle to throw him back into the ring. Very often, the surrounding lumberjacks get in a few shots of their own.
The Punjabi Prison Match is possibly the most feared and barbaric match in all of wrestling. Entrapping the dueling Superstars, the Prison bears two imposing walls and the only way to win the match is to escape both lethal bamboo structures. At 16 feet tall, the interior structure consists of four doors, each manned by a referee who raises the door for 60 seconds when called for by one of the Prison's competitors. After 60 seconds, the door closes and is padlocked for the remainder of the match. At 20 feet in height, the formidable outer structure has no doors whatsoever; meaning the only way to escape is to scale the bamboo, endure the razor-sharp spikes at its top, and climb to the floor.
The Royal Rumble Match is widely recognized as the most exciting hour of the year. It only happens once a year and includes 30 Superstars! Each Superstar selects a number between 1 and 30.

In a Strap Match, the competitors are connected to each other by a long, leather strap. The strap can be used as a weapon, but to win, a Superstar must touch all four turnbuckles uninterrupted and in succession. This match can also take place using a chain, bull rope, or other similar apparatus.
Tables, Ladders and Chairs Matches (TLC Matches) are some of the most exciting events. While the fans enjoy them, however, they can take years off a Superstar's career.

Falls are usually awarded on the basis as a traditional match - pinfall, submission, countout, disqualification.
In a Iron Man Match, there is a set time limit, usually 60 minutes, and the Superstar to score the most pinfalls and/or submissions in the allotted time is declared the winner.
