Yeah, I think this whole match is a big argument for, "Keep it simple, stupid." If everyone were in the whole time and it just had you lose points when pinned it'd make for a far more interesting concept plus one a lot easier to explain to people. It's basically human Smash Bros.

Lance Storm brought up a good point. They never said what happens if there's a tie. Does it go to sudden death with those tied? Do we get five more minutes? Do both get a title shot? Logically it should end how IRON MAN matches normally end, with there being a draw or a GM ruling in a sudden-death stip. I'm no booker but if I were in charge my rules would include fool-proofing of this **new** match type: all competitors in the ring start the match, a 15 min timer kicks in after the first pin fall is scored. In case of a tie, we go for sudden death with the tied competitors. (GIVE ME BOOKER OF THE YEAR AWARD PLEASE!!!)

It's basically human Smash Bros. It also lines up a lot with the name - Iron Survivor. It sounds like something that requires you to outlast all competitors in a brutal competition testing stamina and skill. But you can actually just come in last and kill it for 10 minutes and win which doesn't feel like an Iron Survivor to me.

It pissww me off that the one time we actually had a multi man iron-man they went to a sudden death tie anyway

I am curious how they do the graphics for this because in theory you'll need:
- Scoreboard for all five competitors - Clock to show how much time overall is remaining - Clock to show how much time until the next person is in - Clock to show how much time Wrestler A has in the penalty box - If a second person ends up in the penalty box, they'll need a second clock to show how much time Wrestler B has left

Out of all the TNA match types they could've been inspired by, they should've gone with Ultimate X or Monsters Ball. Locking Austin Theory, Braun, Karrion Kross and uhhhh let’s say Von Wagner in a dark basement for days. And then nobody unlocks them so no match 🤣 That sounds like the most un-erotic gay porn I'll never watch.

Outside of a new person entering every five minutes. It sounded pretty fun.
That was just one step too many.

I imagine having intervals would it more interesting than a standard everyone fights for 30 minutes iron man match. Since people tend to tune out of iron man matches since they tell you how long it is. Look at war games, the people who don’t have fond memories of it, are usually of the “nothing happens for 30 minutes because you can’t win anything until the match beyond” but the intervals at least keeps it fresh.

Strange how in most matches it takes at least 20 minutes for a pinfall yet in this one there'll be multiple

So what if someone refuses to go into the box?

My guess would be if say...Cora Jade hit...Isla Dawn with the kendo stick, then Isla would get the point, and Cora has to go into the time-out box. Ok, but what if someone gets DQ'd for hitting the referee to stop a three count, who gets the point then? Everyone else? Which is why it would be very wise to not get DQ'd. So what if someone refuses to go into the box? They'll be threatened to have a point taken of their tally?

I think that is simple enough while still telling you all the info you need. You could even collapse it down to just the time and only bring up the full one when something changes or just as a reminder every once in a while to save space.

I onice had an idea for a Great Escape match.
Put the cage in the Cell, four people in the match.
Pinfall or submission or escape lets you out of the cage, last one left in the cage is eliminated.
Three remaining fight it out in the Cell, weapons and such, pinfall or submission lets you out of the cell, last one left in the Cell is eliminated.
Final two fight it out outside the Cell, you only win by locking your opponent in the Shark Cage/Penalty Box single person cage.

It definitely worked a lot better in action than it read on paper (probably because there was a bit to read). Not that I was out here doubting it.

Good match concept that sounded ridiculous when you explain all of the rules. I look forward to more IronSurvivors in the future
