Excerpt from Wikipedia:
# Circus Deathmatch- above the ring is a scaffold and under that scaffold there is a type of circus net made of barbed wire. When a wrestler falls off of the scaffold the barbed wire spider net is there to "catch" the wrestlers. After a wrestler, or a team of wrestlers, have been thrown into the net it is cut down and the match continues to a pin fall.
# Piranha Deathmatch- Barbed wire boards are placed in the corners. In the middle of the ring, there is a tank full of Piranhas. To win you must hold your opponent in the tank for ten seconds.
# Scorpion Deathmatch- This match is similar to the Piranha Deathmatch. However, instead of barbed wire boards, there are two cacti. And instead of Piranhas, there is a tank full of scorpions.
Video of Piranha Death Match:

When you actually watch it its a lot cheesier and looks a lot more phony then it sounds.

- So I'm told.
Yeah. I had a friend that chewed glass
for a living. In the circus.
- And he got cancer
from chewing fluorescent bulb glass ?
Nah. Got hit by a bus.

Look at them. Do you really think these guys care about some long-term health effect?
If you're job is jumping off ladders, diving into a tank full of scorpions and piranhas, being smashed over the head with fluorescent lightbulbs and barbed-wire bats.
The chemicals in the fluorescent tube are the last thing to be concerned about.
... but, yeah, they'll likely die from being hit by a bus.

Is the continuation of Futurama out already? Or was it just a rumor?

America for its part has Xtreme Backyard Wrestling (XBW), and all the other minor wrestling leagues with varying levels of 'xtreme'.
