10 Times Wrestling Ruined What You Loved
8. Cages
It's perhaps harder to remember than it should be, your first time viewing of a steel cage within the context of wrestling.
The squared circle being surrounded by massive bars or mesh is a tantalising visual that should exist to do what it's promoted as - holding the wrestlers in and extras out. That they are ineffective at that almost by design (thus requiring the need for Hell In The Cell et al) is bad enough, but a lack of noise and spectacular violence in an instant gratification era has almost made the once-terrifying structure one of the more gentle gimmick offerings.
All Elite Wrestling have at least attempted to rectify a major issue by binning off WWE's escape rule, but their hands aren't clean, and it extends to shark cages too. As recent as the July 20th 2022 edition of Dynamite, the Jericho Appreciation Society were suspended in one only to escape when it was lowered to trigger a painfully generic brawl.
