Exclamation Best and Worst of the steel cage match
OK i want to hear everyones feedback on this thread. Lets see what cage match everyone believes is the best and which is the worst. It can be any style of cage match: normal cage, Hell in a Cell, Tower of Doom, War Games, etc. To start off with, my pick for the best cage match of all time would have to be WAR GAMES I at NWA's The Great American Bash 1987. It was a great idea created by Dusty Rhodes, who himself participated in the match as well. The idea of settling a feud between two fighting stables within the confines of a two ring two cage match is tremendous. I clearly remember that the first two teams to ever be in WAR GAMES were the Road Warriors (Hawk and Animal) along with Paul Ellering and the Superpowers (Dusty and Nikita Kolloff) faced the Four Hoursemen (Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, Lex Luger, and J.J. Dillon). The promos leading up to the event were great, from the construction to the lowering of the cage in Atlanta's Omni. Now for the worst cage match, i would have to choose the "Chamber of Horrors Thunderdome" match at WCW's Halloween Havoc 1991. The idea behind this match was terrible. If i remeber correctly, the object of this match was to place your opponent in the "Chair of Tortures" (a pathetic excuse for an electric chair) and pull the switch which was located about 10' up on the side of the thunderdome (there weren't any wires even coming out of the box which made the fakeness really obvious). The participants were Sting, the Steiner Brothers, and El Gigante against Abdulla the Butcher, Cactus Jack, The Diamond Studd (Scott Hall), and Big Van Vader. To make the finish of this match even worse, WCW put pyro on the chair and cage which surrounded the chair (which incidentally caught a small part of the ring on fire) which made the "electric Chair" appear to execute the loser stuck in it (in this case it was abdulla who felt the electricity). So now that ive made my choices lets hear what everone else thinks. For a great overview of the Steel Cage Match, go to http://www.steelcagematch.com/ this website has great pictures for the wrestling fan who loves his cage matches.

Bret vs. Owen exemplified why a cage is needed. It keeps everyone out of the match and lets the men settle it inside ...THE 15 FOOT HIGH STEEL CAGE.

Bret/Owen was an awesome match, my pick for the best cage match ever, but if we're including hell in a cell, as well, can't forget about undertaker/hbk.

I have one problem with that match. It was a first person out wins match. I HATE that. A cage match is supposed to be 2, or 4, men that need to settle a score. No one gets in, and NO ONE GETS OUT. Owen kind of countered that in a promo he gave before the match. He said Bret was scared of him, and he wouldn't let him run. Still an amazing match though.

Here are some I forgot
Angle/Benoit
Rock and Roll Exprees/The Andersons
Shawn Micheals and Bret Hart had one on a colisum video that was great.

The HIAC between Taker and Shawn Micheals was pretty damn good. On the other hand the HIAC between Taker and the Big Boss Man was pretty bad, I mean was there even a point in putting them in the cell in the first place?

I remember there was a cage match between Piper and Hogan, thinking how horrible it was. The Nash-HHH Cell sucked in my opinion as well.

I always liked the War Games concept but the good Hell in a Cells were so memorable. the first HBK-Taker/ 6 man for World Title/ Taker-Mankind. All were amazing

I must say, Mankind vs. Undertaker at King of the Ring in and of itself was NOT a good match. There were just two ridiculous spots that saved the match, and probably the pay per view as well. While it was definitely "HOLY SHIT!", it in no way deserves to be considered as the greatest cage match of all time.

Hell, that Kurt Angle v. Edge cage match on Smackdown a while ago was better than that.

Oh, I think the main reason for the Cell for Undertaker vs Big Boss Man was so The Brood and Undertaker could hang the Big Boss Man afterwards.

As for best, I dunno. The Rock vs Mankind vs Ken Shamrock at Breakdown ranks pretty high up there for me. Bret vs Owen was great also. I'll have to think about some other ones though.

Don't know about "the" worst, but Kane/Snitsky from a few months back was pretty scarily bad. Funny out of the ring or not, once he's in there, Snitsky is just another hoss.
