History of the Cage

**Jordan** · 08-08-2011, 07:26 PM

Okay some I'm looking for some answers.

I bought the WWE Steele Cage DVD and on the DVD is Luger vs Flair Capital Combat '90, in the match it's a shitty bar cage. The cage is weak and pussy like, but it surrounds the ring like Hell in a Cell with an inclined top instead of a total cover.

It sucks.

WCW either used the same cage years later in 97 with Roddy and Hogan or made a new shitty one much the same way, either way it sucked.

My question was the the first cage which surrounded the ring like Hell in a Cell? My instincts tell me WCW stole the idea from the innovative WCCW but I don't know for sure.

Is the first time WWE used a giant cage like this Hell in a Cell 97? Or did the even try it out on a house show or what have you?

I know the history of the cage, the chicken wire etc... but who was the very first to use the giant HIAC like cage? Also why did WCW have this shitty cage match at Capital Combat only to end in bullshit D/Q? My smarts tell me it was so that infact they could raise the cage (as The Horsemen did) and interfere to cause a DQ, for the non finish with Luger/Flair.

By god were Lugers good qualities on par with his bad.

Also, on the DVD they show Michael/Janetty cage match in White Plains NY. It's funny when HBK does a headlock/sleeper rest and ref. Bill Alfonzo goes into the ring to lift Janetty's hand in a match that was heavily advertised by the announcers as an escape only finish. Was this a fuck up of Bill Alfonzo (I think it was) or the booking of the match.

BTW what a shit match for HBK and Marty, that match fucking sucked. And LOL at Johnny Polo being like "HBK LOOKS PUDGY", at that moment in HBK's career he was so done with WWE (as documented) and what a shit show he put on to display his bitch ass attitude. It really made me like him less and any story or video I have seen of him before. And yes he was my childhood favorite wrestler, but right now I just wanna see Bret Hart beat his ass!
