WCW always was more creative than WWF/E...and they had more real characters, not some dumbass gimmicks. That's what made them better. They may have imploded but before that, they were what wrestling should have been. They had great wrestling. Every stage was good, from TV Title to World Title, a Tag Division and a Cruiserweight Division.
I'll be damned if you could get me to work in a "double ring" with a gap in the middle like here. One accident with that shit and the doc might be amputating your leg.
@45Yankeeclipper Benoit was one of the best at what he did (fitting his nick name would be "The Wolverine" eh?). How his life ended was a tragic, but classic, result of what happens when an industry care more about making money then it does about the people who work for them.
@DieHarderAgain well it's your opinion, most of the wrestlers back in the day write their spots spontaneously and they were damn creative in them hence the unpredictable matches they had, unlike today :)
War Games...HITC before it was even thought of. Greatest Cage match idea in History. Doubt it could work these days in WWE, but I was thinking at Lethal Lockdown with Hogans Team against Flairs team. TNA back with the old ring it very well could be the match...
Because you wouldn't put a camera man in the cage. You don't strap a camera man to the side of a race car, or put him in the ring for a boxing match. Maybe that is why Vince McMahon used those cages in the 80's, because it made the Camera work better. I don't like him, but he is a pretty smart guy... sometimes.
@McMahonHater ehhh fair point but i guess considering this is the cage they use you have to bend the rules otherwise youll have people who are pissed they spent 30 bucks to see a fight behind a mesh cage
@45Yankeeclipper It's doesn't do anything but remind people about how fixed pro wrestling is. Sure it looks nice, but it doesn't look realistic. Pro Wrestling is basicly an action adventure filmed live would you want see the camera man filming the Jackie Chan fight in a movie...it's pretty much the same idea

You know the ceiling on the cage was too low if Benoit could reach it with his hand without reaching far for it. Who designed and built that cage?

Having a camera man in the cage doesn't do much to suspend the disbelief.
