This is another cage match that failed because it tried to be too different. TNA has produced a lot of poorly thought out match concepts. Most of that "credit" can go to Vince Russo, who has been known to go haywire with random gimmicks simply for the sake of "doing something new." That might be an admirable notion in some instances. In others, it results in matches like this one. Aesthetically, the bright red color of the cage made this match almost impossible to without ruining your eyesight for years to come. And the logistics of climbing out of a dome-shaped cage are counter-intuitive, as even those with the best core strength will find that a challenge. (Homicide took a hard fall when he tried it.) The action inside the cage was occasionally fantastic--since these were all very agile performers--though just as cluttered as one would expect with that many wrestlers going at it all at once. The cameraman never really knew where to point, resulting in far too many shots from outside the aforementioned eyesore of a cage. Also, this inexplicably ended in a disqualification when Homicide took a baton to the rest of the competition. (Maybe because no one could fathomably have enough upper body strength at the end of the match to climb out cleanly.) This goes against an unspoken rule in wrestling that cage matches are "anything goes" events. It's just the nature of the beast. After all, why bother doing putting restrictions on a match that literally allows the performers to smash each other into steel bars time and time again? Well, Vince Russo doesn't believe that rule exists, and so this moderately intriguing match was allowed to end in a No Contest, thus nullifying any ideas that Russo ever really knows what the hell he's doing.
