rock/foley
[edit]The Rock using a tape recorder to say "I quit" is vague as to whether it was a real situation or part of the worked angle. I personally don't remember, does anyone else? If so please edit the article to reflect it. -Drdisque 20:48, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
funk/flair
[edit]Terry Funk and Ric Flair participated in an "I quit" match in Texas in the late 80's for the World Title. Flair won. I don't know exactly when it took place, but the Magnum T.A. match was definately not the only I quit match in NWA/WCW history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.111.161.186 (talk • contribs) 08:45, 29 October 2006
bret/austin
[edit]I edited out Bret Hart vs Steve Austin because it was a Submission Match, not an I Quit match. For it to be an I Quit match there needs to be a microphone to yell "I Quit" into. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.158.3.254 (talk • contribs) 14:10, 15 March 2007
rock/hhh
[edit]The Rock vs. Triple H on 01.25.99 Monday Night RAW was NOT an I Quit match. Im removing it. Virakhvar321 07:06, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
Beth Phoenix vs. Melina
[edit]Shouldn't it be left off until the event's over?

Norman Smiley vs. M.I. Smooth
[edit]How can the match take place on television on August 22, 2000 on tape delay but be taped on August 23, 2000? That doesn't make since. Gibsonj338 (talk) 17:24, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

"I Respect You" match
[edit]Apparently when Brian Pillman yelled "I respect you bookerman," it was a work to get Pillman off TV for a couple months to build some legit heat with ECW and gear Pillman up for a big push. Instead of going to back to WCW, Pillman used ECW as a stepping stone the WWF which is where Pillman was going. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 17:07, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
The No DQ Submission Match section
[edit]I edited out the statement saying that Backlund and Hart at Mania XI wasnt an i-Quit match because the term hadn't been coined. This is wrong for two reasons, it had been coined at that point, and it was billed as an I Quit match. Pawnnolonger (talk) 10:35, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
Austin/Bret
[edit]This match is too far removed from the conventions of the match to be considered a variation. The entire gimmick consists of speaking into a microphone to quit, which the Austin/Bret match lacks. --Jtalledo (talk) 20:13, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
Why have the list of I Quit matches been removed?
[edit]The table has existed for 10 years, with new I Quit matches being added, suddenly someone removed them last years without any notification or reasoning. We read wikipedia as a source to get knowledge, get information, see records, know facts. Whats the point of having this article if its not going to be a source of any knowledge or list records of past I Quit matches, but just exist as a poorly written mess. The section "I Respect You" match does not even have any reference. Actually there are no valid reliable references at all. But with the tables we could see actual records, that had existed for over 10 years and we can verify those matches from the wrestler's profiles. What exists now is a cheap poorly written article on I Quit matches, only including what a particular editor wants to be included while that editor removed everything else he/she doesnt consider important. This is ridiculous and this messed up article is useless and now proves the fact how unreliable Wikipedia is. For over 10 years the I Quit match list existed here, and some new editor just removes it last year totally messing up the article! Please add the list of I Quit matches back, as without such vital information its totally useless to have this article at all and we only read wikipedia for information which this article no longer is and this is a disrespect to us readers! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joeptchjijihhtgghbyjhhmkkkl (talk • contribs) 11:58, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Will You Stop!
[edit]Someday the WWE will have for one match, a match call the Will You Stop Match, it's the same as I Quit. This Will You Stop Match is of course to honor the legacy of Gorilla Monsoon - Its Joeysworld 18:55 20, March 2021 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 35.136.5.50 (talk) 22:56, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
