To expand on the former, a Last Man Standing match can be better than a regular match if the angle has built the feud up as two guys who just want to beat the ever-loving s*** out of each other until one of them is physically incapable of getting back up. It doesn't even feel like a match since there's no pinning or submitting. It's just a straight-up brawl.
See, here I just feel like Streetfights or Falls Count Anywhere or Cage or Hell in a Cell or whatever just works better.
All the ref counts are just like really repetitive rest holds.
Maybe it's just the way WWE does them, I dunno. I just feel like they have too many winning attempts to stall the match.
My issue with Iron Man Matches is more the end of the match. Two people trying to pin each other is ALMOST always more interesting than one person trying to win and the other just playing defense trying not to lose.
