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 in a standard Lucha Libre match format, each wrestler gets three separate falls before deciding who wins, which leads to matches lasting 30 minutes or more. However, the actual rule is that best two out of three falls decide the winner, with matches typically capped at around 25-30 minutes, divided into ten-minute halves.
