IC25 Calling Out Mighty NorCal

[IrishCanadian25]

Appropriately enough, I am calling NorCal out in the cage, and I am calling him out about the cage!

After an epic - borderline shouting match - debate we had Sunday night during the PPV, we were all set to get embroiled in a great point/counterpoint thread about how Steel Cage Matches should end. You argued to me that the worst way to end a match is with one guy running away and escaping.

Ironic.

Dammit, you're my fellow Jersey Triad and Heartbreak Foundation member! Meet me in the General section, or MEET ME IN THE CAGE!

 

[Merwin]

I hope he arrives

 

[Mighty NorCal]

I just simply dont care, my friend

 

[D-Man]

I love this.

What's the point in a cage match if it ends in submission pinfall when we now have a HIAC match?

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Wait, wait, WEEEEE were ready to be embroiled in as thread? A thread? No, YOU said "this would make a great thread" there was none of me saying I was gonna post in it

Do you see? You see this? this is the kind of shit. By saying what you just said, you are basically proving my point. What im getting at would fly WAY over everyones head.

My thoughts exactly. That and the opening of the door to escape.

^^^This, especially if it's the heel winning the match

Hell in a Cell - Blowoff for a feud that locks two men inside with no rules and plenty of extra space to kill each other.

Steel Cage - Keeps others out. The point of the match is to escape.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

So then, everyone is maintaining tha the basic theory behind HIAC and the old skewl cage matches are just oh so wildly different.

Well. There we have it

and why, pray tell, would you want to be sure to keep others out?

Alright now I'm curious...

I agree with NorCal in principle to the point where I recall making a thread saying the cage match is obsolete. Something does its job better now. The escape stuff has never really floated my boat. Seeing a babyface I love running from the fight kills me a little every time. And cage matches are so overused that I've been rendered quite dead internally.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

The cage match has always been presented as the ultimate battle.

Lock the guys IN, and keep everyone ELSE out.

So it always seemed stupid to me that the objective in the match was to run away from your opponet.

Apparently im right, becuase the WWE has now made HIAC the blowoff match to feuds. The matches however, inherently, in build and in concept, follow the same theory

Keep the guys in, and everyone else out

Actuelly I think the reason HIAC was even created was to keep DX from getting involved in Taker and HBKs match, so they could finally have a clear and decisive end to the feud

More guys have gotten into steel cages than black people in Mel Gibson's ex. It's disgusting.

Yeah, I got nothing, you win

[Prax]

Cage matches should just be left off PPVs. It's a good gimmick for live TV, just lazy for PPVs. The only reason Sheamus and Cena had one was so that Sheamus could beat Cena again without pinning him.

 

[D-Man]

and why, pray tell, would you want to be sure to keep others out?

Um... just a hunch... but I'd say to avoid interference.

You know the Nexus attacking Czena et al?
