The cage match is one of the most exciting and brutally fearsome faceoffs in pro wrestling battles. WWE’s Hell in a Cell, often revolving around the family drama between the Undertaker and Kane, created some of the most exciting moments of the Raw Is War era. While the Brothers of Destruction — along with others like Triple H, Mick Foley and Bret Hart — made the cage a staple of any pay-per-view event in the late ’90s, the tradition actually dates back to 1936 in rural Missouri, when local grapplers would face off in a chicken-wire cage. Music City wrestling promotion Pro Wrestling Symphony will bring a rare cage match to Nashville when Shane Mercer and Mad Dog Connelly face off on Dec. 7 at On Holiday. The event will also feature three tournament matchups, two men’s and one women’s, for the PWS titles to be awarded in the spring. Fans will have an opportunity to catch some of our best local upcoming ring talent, as well as local rock outfit Red River Hymn.
