10 famous match rules that were never used by the WWE

Anyone who has seen the WCW movie Ready to Rumble knows that a three-story steel cage is used in the final act. That is, if anyone even made it to the end of the movie. Even if Jimmy King isn’t a real wrestler, the Triple Cage Match is certainly a real stipulation.

At the 1988 Great American Bash, two teams of five wrestlers were locked in a “Tower of Doom,” a match that could only be won by climbing through all three cages to the floor. At Uncensored 1996, Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage defeated eight heels in what was called the “Doomsday Cage,” which was so bad we wished the world had really ended.

Then there was the main event of the 2000 Spring Stampede, a triple threat three-way cage match between Jeff Jarrett, Diamond Dallas Page and the reigning world champion…David Arquette.

WWE has never attempted to use three cages at once, presumably because they saw the last two WCW matches and were put off by it. The closest they came was surrounding a regular cage with the Hell in a Cell at Unforgiven 1999 (for the infamous Kennel From Hell).
