There were worries about this match given Brock’s history of short battles. Thankfully, the two men cut loose into a brutal war that was the best match either had put on in years. The great angle was that Brock’s UFC experience made the cage easier for him and manhandling Hunter. HHH responded by working on Brock’s leg. Paul Heyman got involved in ...
This may well be Matt Hardy’s greatest match ever. The feud with Edge was rough as the real-life feelings kept them from being professional. But it did have this fantastic war inside a cage. Edge dominated at first with Matt taking brutal punishment. But Hardy hit back with a wild attack that had the crowd popping majorly. Related: 10 Best Matches ...
It was no hard-working grand battle, but for pure cage spectacle, it’s hard to top this battle to decide if Austin would get to WrestleMania. Before it started, Vince climbed the cage with Austin sending him flying off to smash through the announcer’s table. Austin then dragged Vince off the stretcher and spent the next ten minutes beating him to w...
This was one of the first wrestling supercards, and the reason for the vast crowd was the main event. Bruno Sammartino was an established legend when student Larry Zybsko brutally turned on him. Bruno wanted revenge and got it in this bloody war. Sammartino was vicious, smashing Zybsko around the cage and pounding him to the delight of the Shea cro...
Hunter wasn’t quite HHH at this point but clearly on the rise while Mankind was clicking with fans. The two tore into each other in an old-school match with each giving it their all. Chyna kept interfering to help Hunter and Foley taking an unholy amount of punishment. He managed to hang Hunter off the cage for a brutal attack of his own. Mankind c...
This was the last part of a “Three Stages of Hell” match between the two hated enemies. Austin won the first fall with HHH winning the “Street Fight” second. The wild finale was in the cage. The genius was that both men were already battered from the earlier falls to try and up the ante. Neither wanted to escape, just beat the hell out of the other...
Somehow ignored, this bout is a real capper to an intense rivalry. Valentine had beaten Santana for the IC title nearly a year earlier, and their feud had included the first WrestleMania. Valentine had relied on getting himself counted out to keep the belt, so a cage match made sense. The two tore into each other, Valentine always a master in the r...
Like many Benoit matches, this is harder to watch today. But it’s still a fantastic showcase for how Benoit and Angle were having a great feud in 2001. There was no title on the line, just pride with the two technical masters going at it tooth and nail. The first wild moment was when Angle seemed ready to climb out of the cage only to stun everyone...
It’s the ending that makes this so memorable, but the rest of the match is also great. Bob Backlund may have been slammed as a “dull” guy, but he handled himself well in this terrific brawl. Snuka was a full-on monster heel slamming Backlund around. Backlund retaliated by dragging his face across the cage to bloody Snuka up. It culminated in one of...
One of the bigger mistakes of WWE in 1994 was having the main event of SummerSlam be the terrible “Undertaker vs Undertaker” match. Had this bout been last, the show would be better regarded. Bret and Owen Hart had already put on a great battle at WrestleMania, but this was even better. The two tore into each other, smoothly moving from technical w...
