What is an unsactioned single match?

Question

I'm refering to the HBK vs Chris Jericho match at Unforgiven 08 that Wikipedia says is an unsactioned single match.

What type of match it is? What's that?

Answer 1

All an unsanctioned match is is a fight. That's it. No rules, no DQ, the WWE wants nothing to do with the match. Look up Summerslam 2002 and you will see that the match between Shawn Michaels and Triple H was non-sanctioned.

Answer 2

It's unsanctioned.  It's not a match, it's a fight.  It means whatever happens, WWE isn't responsible.

Answer 3

I'm given the impression that there is not a single rule. They can basically do what they want until a referee counts a win.

Answer 4

Unsanctioned, hardcore, street fight, etc. they are the same it means no rules.

Answer 5

Like a No Rules, I think..

Answer 6

It's a match without any rules, WWE isn't responsible for anything that happens. The ref just counts the pinfall
