A pillow fight match is a match, usually competing in by female wrestlers, in which the females hit each other with a pillow. A pillow fight match is also a variation of the classic children's game, pillow fighting, where a bunch of people hit each other with pillows and the last one standing wins.
Criticism[]
Along with Evening Gown matches, Pudding matches, Mud Matches, Pool Matches, and Bra and Panties matches, many people have said that these kinds of matches cause women's wrestling to be seen as a joke. Other people criticize these kinds of matches as encouraging people to care more about sex appeal than wrestling. Stronger critics have said this is moving wrestling closing to the porn industry.
