	Dark match - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dark matches at the end of a card generally feature main event-level wrestlers, and are often used to sell more tickets to the live event and also to send the crowd home happy.
		Dark matches are almost never acknowledged (in kayfabe), but are sometimes used to gauge fan reaction to developmental talent that a promotion is considering elevating to their main show.
		Recently, matches before a Pay-Per-View event are also considered dark matches in the WWE after the indefinite suspension of the webcast of Sunday Night Heat.

	Of Mats and Men: Chapter 10 - Evil in Professional Wrestling
		This violence is obviously not used to win a wrestling match, and is closer to an effective representation of purposeless evil, as opposed to the straightforward trickery of using a foreign object in order to win a match.
		A third type of possible personified representation of evil in professional wrestling is the situation in which two or more Heels do violence to one Face during a match with the motive to injure or humiliate.
		The discussion of personifications of evil in professional wrestling would not be complete without discussing a practical problem of understanding evil acts in light of the agents' explanations of their evil deeds.

		In fact, Steamboat later commented that the match was both "fantastic" and "great." Danielson also feels grateful to have competed in such a high profile match at the time, as he had just been released from his WWE developmental contract.
