Sometimes, fights have rules. These rules can be manipulated through things like the use of preposterous technical clauses. Other times, however formal things may be, the fighting doesn't actually have any rules at all. Last one standing wins. Use anything you can think of to make it happen. It may or may not result in a No Holds Barred Beat Down.

Super Libre is one that was specific to E\CMLL. Lucha Libre, Salvador Lutteroth's take on professional wrestling, was so named because in many ways it was more free than most pro wrestling of the 1930s. Want to punch your opponent? We don't want you to, but it's not an immediate disqualification. Want to climb the ropes and/or turnbuckle? Go right on ahead. Fight outside of the ring? You can't win there, but sure. Still, lucha libre had rules, and by the 1950s EMLL was in fact less free than many other lucha libre enterprises which had sprung up. So "Super Libre" was what EMLL held when its rules were relaxed. Super Libres have since become fairly tame with the rise of Garbage Enterprises such as NGX, DTU and XMW, but have nonetheless popped up in other feds more in the mold of EMLL. Outside of the lucha libre genre, other "strict" feds such as ROH, or "realistic" feds such as early EVOLVE, sometimes end up with similar gimmicks like Fight Without Honor and End Of Evolution.

Played with for comedy in an episode of Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu when the Karate Club's idea of "no holds barred" combat comes into violent conflict with Sousuke's. Hint: the Karate Club's definition doesn't include guns, tear gas, or hand grenades.

On NewsRadio, Joe and Matthew compete in an Ultimate Fighting match for charity. Matthew's strategy: tickling.

Milly in Code Geass loves organizing highly elaborate contests like this with absurd high-stakes prizes. Once, it ends up going a little too far when one character attempts to use a mecha to win one.

In the 1975 version of Rollerball, the championship match basically boils down to this.

X-Men has an example in the cage fight that introduces Wolverine, again toyed with a little: "Don't kick him in the balls." "I thought you said anything goes." "Anything goes, but he'll take it personal."
