Cage match. It's one of those things that used to have you like :krs:, but there's been so many other match types that came along since, it's just "blah" when they announce it now.

and much as I hate to say it, any ladder match has become overrated now. Lotta great ladder matches and they always have a few entertaining spots, but if you've watched enough of 'em, you've kinda seen em all.

Underrated

"I Quit"... if done it right it can put over both the winner and loser big (i.e. Flair/Funk, Rock/Mankind, Bret/Austin). Haven't seen a good one in a long time tho'.

2 out of 3 falls-With the right participants it's money.
I Quit

Overrated
Ladder Match-Unless it's Hardy's vs Edge & Capo level it's just not the same
Elimination Chamber IMO- Too predictable

overated = street fights...if you dont actually go to the parking lot or street or still wear wrestling attire

Overrated:
Street Fight/No DQ/Boot Camp/Falls Count Anywhere/No Count Out/Anything Goes/No Holds Barred matches - All these matches are damn near the same in some kind of way

Ladder Match - Used to love these matches when they were scarced and was necessary... but now nikkas have ladder matches for the hell of it and it's basically wrestlers beating each other with ladders

Clockwork Orange House of Pain Match - Those were just glorified hardcore matches, glad TNA stopped doing those.

Underrated:
Inferno Match - The few that they had was fun to watch

Casket Match - Missed these type of matches before they got replaced with Buried Alive matches

Elimination Chamber - With the right wrestlers participating the matches are awesome. The one with Santino inside was awesone

TNA World X Cup - They need to bring this back

TNA King of the Mountain Match - As random as this match was I like the fact that it happened once a year and it was TNA's signature match at the time

Overrated:

Money In The Bank - After the 4th one, they all sucked. They added too many competitors and theres only so many spots you can do in that match. I still enjoy them for what they are, but I'd honestly wouldn't be mad if the did away with it all together. I'm glad it's no longer a part of WM.

Elimination Chamber - It's a cool match, but as like every other WWE stipulation match it has been ran in to the ground. Having a match like this twice on the same card is overkill, it's even worse when you do it every year. This is the one match I think is hurt the most by overuse. It could be awesome if done sparingly.

Underrated:

Lions Den Match - I think there have only been two of them, but they were both really cool.. especially the first. It being in a completely different venue than the rest of the show was dope, and they had some nice spots with the cage.

Six Pack Challenge - I remember loving this match when they did it back at Unforgiven 99. Something about 6 dudes in one match for the strap seemed epic and important.

3 Stages Of Hell - I'm kinda glad they didn't overuse this match, but when they did do them they were pretty cool.

I agree

Money in the bank is worthless now, It meant more at Wrestlemania but the actual ppv has been pretty good as a whole
