Choujin Wrestling (超人レスリング Chōjin Resuringu)[]

Used by Chojins to settle disputes. The rules are similar to puroresu and mixed martial arts; except eye-poking, biting, and attacks to the crotch are allowed.

Rules[]

They are basically limitless one-fall matches, but with no weight classification system. At first, referees were put into the rings; as the series progressed, the rulings and decisions were made from outside of the ring (so as to not interfere with the fight). Matches are won by the following: forcing the opponent to give-up, KO (this often means death), 3 Count Fall, and a 20 Count on the occasion of a Ring-Out. In Tag Matches the elimination of both opponents is usually required, but occasionally eliminating only one is allowable.

Violations[]

Weapon usage, and a third person trespassing during a one-on-one competition, are strictly prohibited. Techniques that require the ring post or ropes (ex: Choujin Hanging, Royal Stretch) are allowed, but when the ring posts are pulled out - or the ropes are torn and used against the opponent - they are viewed as weapons and therefore against the rules. However, weapons that are part of a Choujin's body (Warsman's Bear Claws, Buffaloman's Long Horns, Prisman's Rainbow Shower, etc.) are acceptable. Likewise, attachments to the masks of masked Choujins (ex: Kinnikuman's head fin and Robin Mask's horn) are considered part of their bodies and therefore not an infringement of the rules. The spikes on Neptuneman's vest also seem to be included in this.

After Geronimo was exposed as being a human who was fighting in wrestling matches against Chojin, a rule was put in place to prohibit humans from fighting Chojin since this would likely lead to the human's death.
