Video: Greatest Last Man Standing Match Knockouts

Count em out. One of the most brutal stipulations in wrestling is the last man standing match. This match is built almost entirely on violence as two people fight to keep the other one down for a ten count. Anything goes in these matches and that means various forms of violence are not only allowed, but also encouraged. Over the years, wrestlers have taken advantage of this idea with some very creative violence. Sounds like a countdown to me.

They just keep getting bigger and bigger.

Greatest Last Man Standing Match knockouts: WWE Top 10, May 28, 2018

WWE has posted a new Top Ten video looking at the Greatest Last Man Standing Match Knockouts. This match has been around for a very long time now and the history in this list goes back nearly twenty years. Some of these are more creative than violent but at the same time, several are just pure carnage that makes you wonder how the people are still alive, let alone supposed to answer a ten count. While some are a bit repetitive, the top entry isn’t likely to ever be topped.

Who is in the next Last Man Standing match? Find out right here.

Opinion: While the match has been overdone throughout the years and the counting to ten so early in the match can get old, there’s something to be said about this level of violence. Instead of pretending to have a match where you get an easy pin, this is all about defeating your opponent once and for all. That’s a lot of fun when it’s done right and some of the visuals are hard to forget. Hopefully AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura lives up to the top of this list, though their match is likely to be a little more technically based.
