Escape the cage owns as long as it’s not out the door.

Having to whoop the other guy so bad that they can’t stop you from climbing out of the cage is very cool.

Technically Jim Cornette was involved with this years later as he and Dave Meltzer did DVD commentary for this match on the Wrestling Gold collection before 9-11 completely rotted his brain.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

Is NFL the longest-running usually live, episodic show named Raw? I don't think so. Checkmate, liberal.

Nash also only did 4 moves in the entire match and walked away retaining the title, so that one.

Was that the one they called "Russo's Revenge". It was the most bizarre thing I think I've ever seen. Nothing in that match made any sense.

Either Nash or Foley was talking on a podcast about how you never want your character to be an occupation (remember Isaac Yankem?)

I was rewatching Razor vs. IRS and it's really true. The wrestling is fine but there's just no real heat or interesting bc "IM THE IRS PAY YOUR TAXES" is as boring as sin.

Undertaker is the only "occupation' character I can think of that works but I also think he's an occupation character in name only.

The Fiend is perfect WWE content because it results in funny 30 second clips for me who doesn't watch the show (why would I watch the show Paul?) and embarrassing 30 minute matches for the masochists who watch WWE and have to pretend its good and not schlock.

The idea of Bray Wyatt as a creepy cultist works. It's the LORE and super powers and fire and teleporting where it loses me. A charismatic evil guy is like a layup heel gimmick but basically nobody thinks to do it? Stokeley currently I guess?

It doesn’t help that the aesthetic is like a guy who works at Spencer’s gifts in 2004 and does whip it’s in the parking lot.

I don't even know if you could call that a WarGames match other than that it was named WarGames. It had two 5-person teams in the Ready To Rumble triple cage, with wrestlers entering at alternating two minute intervals. But the goal of the match was to win the WCW Championship. So that belt was at the top of the triple cage, and to win the championship you had to walk out of the cage with the title. So nobody was locked in the cage, since you had to escape the cage, so people interfered. And you'd think that you would have people fighting among their teammates to win the title, with there being 10 people in the match.

Seriously, the only thing that made it WarGames was the alternating teams with one always at a disadvantage, but then Kronic entered as a pair and gave the faces the advantage (so that Nash could enter last). So WTF.

Escaping the cage out the door is fine if it's rare and done the right way. See also: Bruno Sammartino beating the piss out of Stan Hansen and then just casually leaving through the door.

Congratulations on not getting fit in 2011!
He's the proper inheritor of The Urn's The Dark Side; which was locked up in his lantern and last we heard was contained within his sweater vest. Let that man teleport and be supernatural in his bunny mask while pinning everything, maybe even while wearing winged eagle title belts. I see no problems here. That stuff was always kinda fascinating. There should always be "one" who somehow, with little fanfare gets the powers and becomes the unpinnable wizard zombie. And now the league just has to deal with it.
