soup23 Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 A poor cage match as it starts with a brawl around ringside. That may honestly be one of my biggest pet peeves. They also make sure to emphasize on commentary again and again that the cage has a roof on top so no one can get in, ensuring someone will get in. We finally get into the cage and they battle for a minute before Awesome comes out and breaks in the door right after Page hits a flash Diamond Cutter. Kanyon runs right behind Awesome and occupies him long enough for the referee to make the count and we have a new champion in one of the most anticlimactic ways I can imagine. A Foley level pop this did not get. Arquette comes out to celebrate. * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 In terms of giving the best match, these may have been the best picks at the time for each side. At least we'd think that, but these two have no chemistry and everything has fallen flat. Page goes into the crowd as a shortcut for creating genuine violence quite a bit, and it's pretty transparent. Also, brawling on the outside to start like this really devalues the whole idea of a cage match. Why do it if it's going to start like this? I do like Kanyon as a babyface, although I'll always contend his career would have been forever as Mortis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSR Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Jarrett is accompanied by Vince Russo and it really is all about that guy. Pretty cool start to the match as DDP was out first and climbed atop the cage, Jarrett didn’t know where he was so as he was about to get in the cage, Page shuts the door on him from above. Instead of them getting in the cage, DDP throws Jarrett over the guardrail and they brawl amongst the crowd and around the arena. Kinda defeats the point of a cage match don’t you think? Eventually they make it in there and the second official locks the door. Page whips Jarrett into the cage, but in typical WCW fashion the camera is focused on the padlocked cage door so we miss it. This company! He unloads on him in the corner, but Jarrett with a low blow before dropping Page face first into the top turnbuckle. Now it’s his turn to launch DDP into the cage. Page with a reversal and rains down left and rights on ‘the Chosen One’. Discus lariat and he signals for the ‘Diamond Cutter’. Not sure what happens as Mike Awesome is out and lurking by the cage door and the camera shows him instead of the in-ring action. Jarrett with a DDT, bodyslam attempt, but Page escapes and hits the ‘Diamond Cutter’. Awesome ‘rips’ the door off the cage and stops Charles Robinson from making the count, however Chris Kanyon is out, pulls Awesome off the official and throws him into the cage. Robinson is able to finish the count and we have a new WCW World champion. The cage raises up and David Arquette is in to celebrate with DDP and Kanyon.

AstroBoy Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Not only was the match really lackluster but I actually had to rewind the finish and watch it again just to wrap my head around what was supposed to have happened. Such a badly executed ending and of course a throwaway world title change for no reason. Yippee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
