An open letter to TNA about gimmick matches

You might be right about the Ultimate X... but the cage match should be sacred.

Lockdown takes the cage match too far because by the end of the evening, the crowd has habitualised to the concept, meaning that the bookers need to introduce further stipulations such as an electrified cage, or doing insane spots from the cage such as an Elix Skipper huricana from the top.

Thankfully, what has saved TNA so far is that they haven't yet regressed and tried to use a cage as a climax to a feud, because then the crowd wouldn't give a shit because they had a whole card of cage matches a couple of months ago.

However, they are going to have to continue to raise the bar now because a cage match isn't enough. And that can only lead to one thing... Triple deck cages and Viagra on a pole matches. Sounds familiar?
