"I Quit" Match

|
An "I Quit" Match is a professional wrestling match type. The only way to win the match is to make the opponent say the words "I quit" into a microphone. The most famous "I Quit" Match took place on January 24, 1999 at WWE Royal Rumble between The Rock and Mick Foley (using his 'Mankind' persona). The match lasted just over 20 minutes and was very brutal. The Rock eventually won the match, but it was later revealed that he had played a tape of Foley saying "I quit" over the PA system.
Another famous "I Quit" Match happened on October 19, 2003 at No Mercy between WWE owner Vince McMahon and his daughter Stephanie McMahon, with Vince winning. More recently, John Cena retained his WWE Championship by defeating John "Bradshaw" Layfield in an "I Quit" match at the Judgment Day pay-per-view on May 22, 2005.
