Nah not Lethal Lockdown, that was basically WarGames, it was like a 6-man cage match for the x-division with a tiny opening at the top that you had to climb through to win

 

[Kim Jong Umb]

that's the debut of short hair hardy on the cage

KOTM matches are fire, so you're not comprising any quality. In fact, I'll take most KOTM matches over the majority of the worse MITB ladder matches. If the only way to have quality is for every brand to be the same, then cancel them all and just have WWE. No point in there being 5 WWE's.

 

[Chris]

That sound sright

 

[Kim Jong Umb]

before he became the antichrist

 

[Kim Jong Umb]

I fucking loved the antichrist

 

[Kim Jong Umb]

gimmick]

 

[Kim Jong Umb]

I never thought I see the day of jeff hardy turning heel

 

[Chris]

Yeah I agreed KOTM matches weren't compromising quality and just because you're using the same match types doesn't mean you can't have your own identity in other ways so not every company is just another WWE if they don't have unique gimmick matches

 

[Kim Jong Umb]

but jeff jarrett is ass

 

[Smart Marx]

Matches are just one way, but I think it's an important part. But, the problem too is that most of these brands aren't diversifying themselves in other ways either. Lucha Underground is probably one of the only recent companies to feel different in ages.

[Chris]

I think NJPW diversifies themselves by not having gimmick matches at all, just singles, tags, 6-mans and 8-mans

 

[Chris]

PWG kinda the same way but that's bc they don't have a budget so they just have the hardcore match every now and then

 

[Kim Jong Umb]

AAA got some good match types same thing with ROH PWG
