10 Crazy Locations Where Wrestling Matches Happened

8. In A Cave

Wrestling tends to work at its best when the action is going down inside of a tight, atmospheric venue. Whether it was the electric sound produced within the Hammerstein Ballroom courtesy of a crammed in ECW crowd, or the frequent vocal eruptions that went down inside of Full Sail University when NXT didn't resemble a lifeless shell of its former self, a good show can become a great one with a compelling setting and an invested crowd.

Yet, Ryukyu Dragon Wrestling may have taken that way of thinking a little bit too far when it came to one of their shows in particular. This Japanese indy decided that the ideal location for one of their 2015 live events was inside of a cave. Yep, an actual underground show in Okinawa Prefecture's Gangala Valley was a very real thing.

Admittedly, the "trial" didn't play out in front of the biggest crowd you'll ever see take in a wrestling show, but the very real bats calling the make-shift venue home likely made up for what little fans found themselves in the surreal environment.

How long before WWE find out about this and throw Bray Wyatt into another "spooky" cinematic soul-crusher within it? Speak of which...
