When I was a kid, there was a neighbor's house where they frequently watched wrestling matches on TV. Once the neighbor told me that the object of the wreatling match was to break through the floor of the wreatling ring. For a long time afterwards, any time I saw a wrestling match on TV, I kept waiting for someone to break through that floor into the area below, inside the box-like structure that supported the wrestling ring. For years I watched in vain to see anyone do that, and concluded for a long time that winning a wrestling match must be a quite rare event.
