Best 2-of-3 falls (Lucha Libre standard, vs WWE-style single-fall format); "Fall" = pinning shoulders for 3 count, submission, count-out, or DQ; Match length: 10-25 minutes typical; title matches longer
Why people argue about this
People often assume that Lucha Libre matches are best out of three falls played continuously without breaks, which leads to misunderstandings since they're actually decided by winning two separate 15-minute halves with a break in between. The confusion arises because this format is not immediately obvious from the name or initial description of the sport.
