Fire deathmatch

Mr.Matsunaga makes another well-deserved appearance in this list, this time as a part of a sadistic and blood-curdling match known as the Fire deathmatch.

And like the name suggests, it had to do with fire. Duh.

Now, it was normal to have the ring ropes replaced by barbed wires - sometimes with explosives strapped to them - in a deathmatch.

But what made the Fire variety particularly gnarly was that ropes were removed on two sides of the ring and instead replaced with poles that were doused in fuel and set on fire.

Matsunaga and his opponent, Mr.Pogo, would then take turns using said poles to light one another up.

And they said pro wrestling was fake.
