Cage matches need to be revamped

[Snowman1]

In a Japanse company I watch, they have a variant of the cage match where before escaping even becomes an option, you have to score a pin. And you can only escape by climbing out, the door is there to let wrestlers in only.

I like that stip since it freshens up the typical American cage stip. But that's just me. Not sure how an American audience would take to it.

I'd expect the American audience to take it really well. It makes sense and it's easy to explain.

Returning fans almost expect ridiculous stipulations going in with all the crazy matches from the Attitude Era. Fans who've been watching for a while see the current state of Cage matches and Russian Chain matches and the Chamber all the way up to shit like Dixieland, so by comparison this isn't that illogical. You've gotta beat your opponent in a regular match before you get a chance to leave outside the cage. Simple.

Hell, there's a bunch of TNA examples... if King of the Mountain can become a hit for wrestling fans, this is so much better than that lol

Not that the idea is awful or anything, but I much prefer keeping cage matches to how they are now. Part of the fun of steel cage matches are the moments where one participant tries to escape and the other guy attempts to stop him (which has lead to a number of cool subsequent moments over the years), but if there's no point in trying to climb out over the top until you've already pinned or submitted your opponent, then there's consequently less of those moments by default (unless you just start spamming pinfall and submissions all over the place, and I hate that.)

I'm not mad at all there, we both know you can't be bothered to vote and participate brah. You shit on people for the same garbage posted here, you only like it because you are OP. Who cares about cages, quit being a mark about it.

Clearly... the people... discussing... cage matches? Quit being a bitch about it. There was a thread about pet peaves in wrestling, someone mentioned cage matches so I linked to me dedicating an entire thread to it as a show of solidarity.

Again, stop being a fucking bitch lmao

You're reading into it too much, i could care less about a thread and the few posts from long ago, make a new one if you want and make it worthwhile. Cage matches with a door make sense because of the simple fact that WWE uses coward heels as their main opponent. There needs to be a cheap way to interfere and steal the win from the face, as it really just makes their feud last longer. Cage matches are stupid regardless, and the entire premise is fucked. If you want to fix it, just start from scratch and figure it out.

Your entire idea on it makes no sense to me, and is laughable. Do you want the cage lowering on two opponents with only one ref like WCW did? What happens when the ref is knocked unconscious?

Now I'm confused if you are shitting on the thread or trying to participate or both. Either way, fuck you pussy.

Doesn't that literally defeat the entire purpose of a cage match in the first place, of which the whole point is to prevent outside interference from happening? There's still ways for the heels to attempt to interfere on someone else's behalf (they can try to get into the cage by climbing over it or try to stop the babyface from being able to drop down all the way down, they can slip an illegal object in through the chain links, etc.) but it shouldn't be made to be so easy. From a booking standpoint, cage matches are designed as the heel's last hope of trying to one-up the babyface through nefarious tactics.
