Death Match (Torture Factory)

In The Torture Factory, a Death Match is usually a 4-10 Fall Fight, where the loser is immediately executed after the fight ends. Victims of this match type are Deadhead, Spike Diamond and Eric Bell. Death Matches usually have some sort of reason for being contested, such as Number One Contendership or a release from the Factory. All fights for the Sawblade Championship are Death Matches, due to the format of the fights.

Sawblade Championship
The Sawblade Championship was created for the sole purpose of contesting Death Matches. Fighters compete for it by fighting on the usual platform, but with no set number of Falls. A Sawblade will come from the ground after both fighters have fallen ten times, and the only way to win is by making your opponent fall onto the blade, killing them. The Sawblade Championship allows the holder to be free of Death Matches until an eventual defense. Every fight the current Sawblade Champion competes in other than title defenses are 36 Fall Fights, to match the number of spikes on a sawblade.

The First Death Match
The first Death Match took place in episode 1 of Welcome To The Torture Factory, which saw Deadhead vs. Blank. Deadhead lost fairly quickly, being killed soon after his loss. The fight was 3 Falls. Interestingly, Blank would later become the first ever Torture Factory Champion.
