It's really interesting how Bruno indirectly ruined so many cage matches (not saying this one, but in general). He first introduced the rule cuz his idea of the gimmick was two people locked in, he beats the shit out of his opponent so bad he leaves the guy lying for dead in the ring, and then he just walks out the door. IIRC, the current escape the cage version happened in his climactic cage matches against Superstar Graham, where Billy got the shit beaten out of him and fell out of the door and retained via fluke. It sure must have seemed like a really creative, excellent way at that time to keep the title on Graham while making sure Bruno looked strong, but for whatever reason a young Vince Jr saw that, absolutely loved it, and has now used that template in basically every cage match forever. When was the last time someone walked out the door after killing their opponent like Bruno originally used to?
