Mr. Carlisle posted:The old blue cage actually looked like it hurt when someone was bounced off of it though (probably because it did) and it felt like a big deal when they used it because there wasn't a cage match like every other week so there's that. I understand why it went away and don't want performers getting murdered on it but the chain link fence doesn't have nearly the same visual effect as the old school one and the chain link cage doesn't really feel like a special event type match anymore. Thats weird, I feel the opposite.. the old blue cage from my childhood always looked like a bad idea of a 'cage', it had huge gaps in it and looked (and moved) like bendy plastic. When they went to solid fencing it actually started looking like it would legitimately hurt to bounce off it. Cage matches being rarer and a bigger deal back then though absolutely.

Climbing out of the cage to win has always been dumb. Here you have these guys that hate each other so much (or have had problems with interference/their opponent running away) that they've finally got them locked inside a steel cage where they can't run or get outside help! How exciting! But not really because the one guy that runs away like a chicken poo poo going so far as to climb over the entire cage to get away from his opponent is the one that gets the win. If anything a cage match should be one of the places where someone actually eats a pin or submits to end a feud.

I don't mind the climbing, because there's always Hell In A Cell to escalate to "now there definitely has to be a pinfall or submission," but escaping the cage by the door is loving dumb. "Hey ref, let me out." "Fine."

When they went to solid fencing it actually started looking like it would legitimately hurt to bounce off it. Cage matches being rarer and a bigger deal back then though absolutely. I can totally see how one would get that impression since it was so colourful and cartooney but from everything anyone who wrestled in them has said the blue cage was loving murder to work in because it was solid metal. I believe Foley said one of the worst pains he's ever dealt with in wrestling was having Chyna slam the old blue cage door on his head. Compared to that, the chain link fence cage always seemed way more forgiving to me. Especially since, as a kid, every time my friends and I walked past a chain link fence it was basically an excuse to play "cage match." I was thrown into them all the time and as long as you're not hitting a crossbar they have tons of give. So even before I'd heard the horror stories of how rough the blue cage was I thought the chain link cage seemed less impressive. Though, now that I'm older and don't care so much about everything in wrestling being hardcore the more forgiving cage seems like a way better option.

Escape through the door I believe started with Bruno, the idea being he'd beat the crap out of his opponent and then just walk out the door as a show of dominance. Bruno was really bad rear end. I don't know when it became more of a goofy crawling crapshoot though, and agree it's bad.

I actually like the escape-only cage matches. The idea that these two are so interested in destroying each other that you literally can't talk a referee into being locked in the cage with them and you need a stipulation like "the last guy walking wins" to determine a winner & put a stop to the violence is powerful stuff. It also works if it's not a blood feud: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFRQEgSL7Bw&t=24s It fits the match psychology there. Deep down they really don't want to beat the tar out of one another, they want to establish which brother is better as quickly as possible.

I think the problem with the door is that the psychology demands it to be either a very quick match or where only 1 person is interested in escaping quickly. However since you save it for PPV's you don't really want to have a short match. Hell in a Cell matches work much better because those are built on the idea that two people want to beat the poo poo out of each other.

So my college's newspaper is doing a story about next year's WrestleMania, and they got an interview with Wade Barrett and Jimmy Hart - and they came by our tiny rear end community college campus. I had missed them because I had already left campus. Still kicking myself.
