In a singles match, if wrestler A gets disqualified, then wrestler B has no one to wrestle, so the match is over and they win.

But with 3 (or more) wrestlers, wrestler B would still have wrestler C, etc, so the match could continue without wrestler A.

So why doesn’t it?

I’ve never understood this, and would appreciate people’s thoughts.

    I get why countouts would be harder, so no countout is fair enough.

    I guess my main confusion is that, in a standard No DQ match, both wrestlers go quickly to weapons. In a triple threat, why bother wrestling ‘clean’ for 10 minutes, to then suddenly bringing a chair in, especially if you’re the heel.

    On eliminator - and a 3 way dance - I think that’s different. My reasoning is, you can have one fall to win, but if you’re disqualified then the match essentially becomes a singles match.

    In a singles match, a disqualification isn’t really a fall, it’s you being disqualified and no longer being allowed to compete. That is conceptually different.
