An I Quit Match is a type of match in professional wrestling. The rules of the match states that a wrestler must make their opponent say the words "I quit" (usually into the microphone) to win the match. This match is similar to a Submission match. Disqualification and countout rules do not apply. "I quit" matches are commonly used to end grudges and embarrass rivals.
The first "I quit" match was in the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA)/Jim Crockett Promotions at Starrcade on November 28, 1985. Magnum T. A. defeated Tully Blanchard in a match (with a cage around the ring) for Blanchard's NWA United States Heavyweight Championship. To this day it is a popular match type in promotions like WWE, All Elite Wrestling and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling.
