Do you agree with Meltzer and Alvarez that the Bucks/Lucha Bros was the GOAT cage match?

[TheGreatShowtime]

Bret/Owen at SummerSlam 1994 is the best cage match, and it will probably always will be the best cage match.

But the Lucha Bros/Bucks match at All Out was still phenomenal.

 

[Bob Loblaw]

No

 

[dh86]

Yes

 

[Peter Parker]

Nah it was great tho, I said it in the other thread, cage matches are very endearing to flippy shyt

 

[Jmare007]

No, but it's exactly the type of thing Dave and Alvarez would say

 

[krazykid18]

Usos vs New Day was better but flippy stuff with no context and trying to top Lucha Underground is what the new wrestling crowd likes but there are some old school cage matches that were just brutal that i liked just for on some ole im fukk you up type shyt

 

[Reality Check]

How many stars did Meltzer give the match?

 

[DanielAlfredsson]

I feel like it's in the conversation as far as the last 5 or so years but definitely some recency bias going on as well.

 

[Skyjacker]

It doesn't top Bret and Owen's cage match.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

1. it was not just 'flippy shyt' there was a lot of psychology and cage match brutality in there.

2. it was a tremendous match and a hot crowd. it's in the convo but it's not the best ever.

this.

fwiw, I'm not a fan of bucks style matches or the overdone choreographed looking bullshyt, but I did still enjoy this match.


but there are sooooo many better cage matches throughout history, starting with bret/owen

 

[DLo]

War Games 1991 is the best steel cage match ever IMO.

Bret and Owen wrestled their asses off but I always hated that escape the cage shyt.

Mofos always gotta take it a step too far

"All time" for them is the last 2 years or just the last great match they remember
