Face of the Revolution Ladder Match

AEW's annual Ladder Match held at Revolution, with the winner earning a future opportunity (historically a title shot) rather than a title itself.

Falls Count Anywhere

A match with no disqualifications where a pinfall or submission counts anywhere in the venue, not just inside the ring — the action routinely spills into the crowd, backstage, or the parking lot.

Fatal Four Way

A match with four individual competitors all competing for themselves at once — anyone can be pinned or submitted to lose.

Fight Without Honor

ROH's no-disqualification brawl stipulation, typically booked between wrestlers whose issue is framed as too personal for a standard, rules-bound match.

Face

Short for "babyface" — a wrestler portrayed as a hero, playing for the crowd's sympathy.

A storyline alliance or group of wrestlers with shared goals — used interchangeably with stable.

Finisher

A wrestler's signature, usually match-ending maneuver, established over time as their most dangerous or decisive move.
