Often times, particularly in Hardcore Professional Wrestling promotions, there are some wrestlers who really can't actually wrestle. Nor can they particularly do any high flying moves. Nor are they particularly good on the mic. But they can hit people pretty well, and they can hit people with things. So, they get a gimmick based around hitting people with foreign objects, and generally all-around brawling, and not particularly using any wrestling moves at all (or very few wrestling moves). Inversely, they are also known for amazingly dangerous "bumps" (professional wrestling stunts, particularly those that involve getting hit) such as Mick Foley flying off the Hell in a Cell. Fans of their style tend to appreciate the fact that these wrestlers are willing to implement such a dangerous style simply to entertain. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The term Garbage Wrestler was inspired by Giant Baba, Japanese pro wrestler and owner of All Japan Pro Wrestling, who once famously referred to rival promotion FMW, which employed this style with alarming regularity, as "garbage". Despite this, it is not necessarily a derogatory term in today's fanbase. Some related tropes could include: Batter Up! Chain Pain Gimmick Matches Chairman of the Brawl Electric Torture Fork Fencing Improbable Weapon User Playing with Fire Stuff Blowing Up |

In Mexico, these are known as "extremos" and are mostly associated with independent circuit promotions such as X-LAW, NGX, RevoluXion Hardcore, DTU and GLC due to CMLL not having much use for the style, having already lost one TV deal to Moral Guardians even after cutting all blood out of their shows. Some of CMLL's national rivals such as AAA have managed to broadcast these match types without losing any deals but only indy and foreign based promotions have divisions exclusively for extremos. | |

The belt's reign was short lived, though...after the card, the belt was lying around backstage when All Japan Pro Wrestling star Jun Akiyama sat down to give an interview, and just happened to rest his arm on the belt. A nearby referee counted the pinfall, and suddenly, Akiyama was the 1,001st champion, much to his chagrin. | |

Abyss during his run in TNA gradually became more known for thumbtacks, his signature weapon "Janice", a two by four with spikes protruding out of it and his specialty match the "monster's ball", which often adds barbed wire boards. His time as Joseph Park has not been a case of this trope, as it is in his opponents' best interest not to make Chris bleed. Prince Justice was likewise not an example. | |

Ivory and Tori (Terri Poch) had the first-ever women's hardcore match in WWE when Tori challenged Ivory for the WWE Women's Title on the September 6, 1999 Raw. The match started in the bathroom and may have been even stiffer than the hardcore matches the men were having at the time, and featured a lot of screaming and some creative choices in weapons, such as Ivory using Soap Punishment as they fought through the showersnote passing a naked Jacqueline along the way. This doubles as Fridge Brilliance, since the person using the soap was named Ivory. Ivory won by pulling a mirror off of a wall and smashing it over Tori's head, with Jim Ross worrying about the barefoot Tori possibly getting glass in her feet. After the match, Ivory found a plugged-in iron and tried burning Tori with it. It took several referees to pull Ivory off of her and get her to calm down. On the 2000 VHS release WWF Divas: Postcard from the Caribbean, right before scenes from this match are shown during Ivory's segment,note it featured the Kat, Ivory, Tori, Terri Runnels and Trish Stratus, Ivory compares wrestling to a dance and how the guys have all gotten around to each other a few times over their careers and how the women don't "dance very often with the same partners or the same opponents, and I guess that's why the hair-pulling happens." | |

Frank's wrestling persona in the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode The Gang Wrestles for the Troops is "The Trashman", invoking this trope in a literal sense (by throwing trash around the ring and then eating it). He fits the trope pretty well besides that, he's certainly not as flashy as the personas of the rest of the guys and he ends up winning the entire bout by throwing a metal trash can at his opponent (the edge of which knicks the other wrestler's jugular and he passes out from blood loss). | |

During FMW's first run, its two main rivals were Wrestling International New Generation and International Wrestling Association Japan. While W*ING did have fire and nails, it's death matches were slightly less extreme and less frequent than FMW, instead trying to compete through use of more surreal angles and gimmicks like The Crypt Keeper as well as cross promotion with WWC in Puerto Rico and UWA in Mexico. IWA rose out of W*ING's ashes when this approach failed, still looking to distinguish itself with much of the W*ING talent and partnering with foreign bodies like the NWA but also by applying more garbage wrestling in more unique ways, such as The King Of The Death Match Tournament. They also failed, though stayed active much longer thanks in part to a Puerto Rican branch. | |

While not a wrestling game, Eternal Champions features several fighters well versed in martial arts, and then it has the caveman Slash. His fighting style is listed simply as "Pain". The game further describes his style as using underhanded moves such as eye gouges, nose tweaks and ear smashes to inflict a great amount of pain, making it increasingly difficult for his opponent to properly focus on the fight. | |

During the late 1990s, when the garbage fad was around it's strongest, one of Future Of Wrestling's most popular talents was Al Bino, known for lack of regard for his body and use of ladders and chairs. The style would prove the be popular in the future, but it was two guys from OMEGA who ended up being the stars. | |

The Sandman is a classic example of this trope. For the majority of his career, he used very few wrestling moves, relying on punching his opponent and hitting him with a variety of objects. Only later would he add some actual pro wrestling moves to his arsenal, such as the "Rolling Rock" (a moonsault onto a ladder laid atop a prone opponent), the "White Russian Legsweep" (a russian legsweep using a singapore cane), and the "Heineken-rana" (a hurricanrana).note Sandman's gimmick involved drinking beer on his way to the ring and smashing the beer cans against his own head to make himself bleed before the match even started, so many of his big moves had alcohol-related names. When WCW hired The Sandman, they kept him exclusively in their hardcore division. | |

Lucha Underground is far from a garbage promotion and doesn't employ pure garbage wrestlers, but it does often have some brutally hardcore matches involving a great deal of weapon use and much bloodshed. The purest example was the 'Cero Miedo' match between Pentagón Jr.. and the famous Vampiro, nominally the colour commentator who came out of retirement for this match, at the first Ultima Lucha event. Vampiro had always been a hardcore wrestler, but his match against Pentagon went To the Pain, with steel chairs, thumbtacks, fluorescent light tubes, and ended with Pentagon slamming Vampiro through a burning table. | |

Abdullah the Butcher may have been one of the first garbage wrestlers, and managed to make a very long career out of it, with the fork being his Weapon of Choice. The Original Sheik was another innovator of this style. Other early examples were Dick the Bruiser and his "cousin", The Crusher, although they could definitely wrestle. Abdullah Kobayashi is a spiritual successor to the butcher in Big Japan Pro Wrestling, having been trained by him. BJ itself has been described as a garbage promotion. |

According to Carlito Colón, garbage wrestling, or at least blood n' guts, is what the majority of Puerto Rican fans want to see. He may have a point, though garbage matches have been rarer in WWC since the new millennium they continued on with scaffold matches long after they had fallen out of favor nearly everywhere else and company founder, his father Carlos Colon, was about as brutal a garbage wrestler as they come(by necessity, Abdullah The Butcher being the promotion's first singles champion). In fact, the trope naming promotion FMW got the idea to use barbed wire from WWC! WWC was also the first promotion to create hazards by lighting things on fire. That famous ECW scene where the fans bury the ring in thrown chairs? That had already happened in WWC to Ox Baker! "Super Fly" Jimmy Snuka diving off the top of a cage? Puerto Ricans already associated that with Gypsy Joe! | |

Cleverly subverted at Pro Wrestling NOAH Navigation with Breeze, Day 4, May 17, 2005, during the Genichiro Tenryu/Go Shiozaki/Jun Akiyama vs. KENTA/Mohammed Yone/Takeshi Rikio. At one point, the action spilled out to the floor. Tenryu grabbed a table from behind the guard rail and threw it onto KENTA's head. After some more action on the floor, Tenryu picked up the table and put it back behind the guardrail, to applause. | |

Likewise, IWA-MS, founded by garbage wrestler Ian Rotten. The state of Kentucky banished the promotion after one blood bath too many and the state developed the strictest athletic commission in the union to ensure another like it was never developed inside its borders again. Though this isn't really true of IWA-MS anymore and hasn't been for a good while; they still do deathmatch stuff, but their list of alumni also boasts the likes of CM Punk, Chris Hero, Colt Cabana, Ace Steel, Delirious, and Matt "Evan Bourne" Sydal. | |

Perennial All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling heel Kaoru "Dump" Matsumoto. Although she was a straight-up power wrestler early in her career, she only really took off by living up to the name and utilizing various weapons, starting with a pair of scissors that she would often convincingly jam into the arms of her opponents, until she evolved into a full-on Garbage Wrestler. | |

Mad Man Pondo started off as a more subdued collar and elbow style wrestler but decided he would not make any money that way, so he took to the garbage death matches of IWA Mid-South, CZW, Big Japan Pro Wrestling and Juggalo Championship Wrestling after seeing the shocked reactions his friends had to such (he was a little more subdued in Gateway Championship Wrestling). He also convinced 2 Tuff Tony to take up the death matches, so he could have a tag team partner. | |

Jon Moxley is actually an incredibly talented ring worker and an even better promo guy, but he does love a good hardcore match when he can get one, most famously his unsanctioned match against Kenny Omega at AEW Full Gear 2019 where both men used weapons (a bat and a broom) wrapped in barbed wire on each other, Omega tried to hang Moxley from the ring with a chain around his neck, Moxley was forced to crawl through a field of broken and powdered glass to reach the ropes to get out of Omega's sharpshooter, and both men were suplexed into a trampoline-like web of barbed wire. It was, in Moxley's own words, "fucking garbage wrestling". | |

Homestar Runner parodied this during a Strong Bad Email about wrestling. Strong Bad has had several gimmicks, but really made a name for himself in a tag team with Strong Mad... although there were some misfires, such as their "Foreign Object Bros." gimmick, where they apparently solely made use of the various foreign objects on their costumes, including a gun shoved down Strong Mad's singlet. The same episode had Strong Sad as Gardenboy, with a watering can that shoots fire. | |

Pro Wrestling spoof Kinnikuman has a few of these. Including at least one guy, Junk Man, who is actually made of garbage; True enough, his style also revolves around bashing opponents with his spiked industrial press hands. Perennial Heel Neptuneman apparently hates garbage wrestlers so much that he once killed his tag partner for using foreign objects. It's a bit ironic, considering that Neptuneman wears a special vest with spikes that he frequently uses to impale opponents, which some would consider a form of "garbage". Of course, note that among his opponents in the Choujin Tag Tournament was Buffaloman, who had horns he would impale people with; it's likely Neptuneman figured he was just evening the score a little, and that by using something simply attached to his costume he wasn't betraying his love of "real" wrestling. Also, after being shot by Kinkotsuman before his match with Robin Mask, Terryman, desperate to win, fought dirty by throwing sand in Robin's eyes and wearing spiked knuckledusters. This was a marked contrast to his normally extremely easygoing attitude. And while he doesn't display this directly in the anime or manga, in at least one of the games Kinkotsuman will indeed just shoot you in the ring. Note that Kinkotsuman is physically feeble and cowardly, so this is clearly his idea of evening the odds. Subverted with Warsman who SEEMED to be relying entirely on a clawed weapon to beat their opponents. However, when Kinnikuman removed his claw; he proved that he was still very capable of kicking ass. |
