Almost no match type or rule or gimmick or common story is inherently bad. It's bad implementations. I'm sure there's a way to make a Punjab Prison Match good.

The both of them taking turns diving for the exit door is one of my favorite spots from the match

when's the last time that was actually how an escape the cage match played out, 1972?

The best modern twist I've seen was loving 2005, heel Eddie could have just walked out.... decided to inflict more punishment and won by pinfall. The number of times a face has tried this and then lost is amazing, really.

Oh, and all no DQ matches should be that the competitors cannot be disqualified for anything they do, but can be disqualified for outside interference, and in all matches "referee calls off the match" because they don't think there will be a valid result or are worried for the competitors should be a valid finish (and explained to the crowd and audience).

Anyway, social media:

Really it's just the blood feuds where a cage match is booked terribly that sucks. Like Mox and Rollins wanted to gently caress each other up, then they got into a cage match and cared more about escaping and winning than loving each other up.

Total fuckin' silence.
Tbh, that's why I'm not really a fan of the Bret/Owen cage match. They spent too much time trying to escape the cage when you would have thought Bret would be more interested in having a definitive wrestling contest after losing at Wrestlemania. Owen, sure, he wants to get the title off of Bret by any means necessary, but they probably could've done more to show his conflict between that and wanting to mess Bret up physically. All the stuff about keeping the divided family at bay wasn't used until after the match had already finished. It was probably a very good match for WWF at the time, but it did nothing for me when I watched it not long ago.

Has there ever been a wrestling match in an empty tank that's slowly filling with water, where both competitors are chained to the bottom and the key to those restraints is on their opponent's body? That's the only scenario where I wanna see escape rules

Maybe not the same but there have been Public Bathhouse death matches in Japan (Do we know how deep Tony has gone down the Indy Scum hole while on the DVDvR board?)

A good cage match: Eddie vs Rey during that awful custody of Dominic angle. (Context: Rey had pinned Eddie in several one-on-one matches over the past few months.) Eddie beats the piss out of Rey, and is about to walk out the cage in Sammartino fashion; he pauses, reconsiders, then walks back in to frog splash and pin Rey, to a monstrous pop.

It's a comedy promotion run by the same people who own DDT. They did a 40 minute match a few months ago where a guy kept chopping his opponent and then looked at his hand and remembered it hurt. Post modern stuff.
