This one's tough seeing as I love both of these.

I have to go with the Cage match in the end. It's the best steel cage match of all time. It has an amazing vibe and it's super nostalgic for me to watch that match over and over again. I never tire of it.

I'll go for Guerrero/Mysterio. I love the Hart vs Hart feud. Both of them are among my favourite wrestlers ever. But honestly, I think the cage match is a bit overrated. The psychology is great, as it usually is in Bret matches. They managed to make it realistic; there wasn't a huge number of spots where it was obvious that one of the wrestlers could have gotten out the cage if they had tried. But the match was a bit repetitive. We saw the same spots a number of times, all involving trying to escape the cage. There wasn't a lot of wrestling in between.

I'm one of those who preferred their match at Wrestlemania X. That's one of my favourite matches ever, and I really thought it should have gotten through to this round. I would have voted that through to very late in the tournament. But the cage match isn't as good as Myserio & Guerrero at their best. Just one man's opinion.

I think that's the best steel cage match ever and I loved it. Still do.

Guerrero/Mysterio is one of my favorite matches of all time. It's infinitely rewatchable, has compelling action and psychology and a really hot crowd. It's Mysterio at his best really, before years of knee injuries took their toll. Watching this then watching some of his stuff from like 2013 is really an eye-opener as to how much his body wore down.

I also absolutely love the cage match, so this was a really tough vote for me, but in the end sentimentality won out and I took Mysterio/Guerrero.

[PorkChop]

This is a tough one, probably the most difficult one for me personally out of all the matchups we've had so far.

Each one of these matches stand the test of time and are still enjoyable to watch years down the line. For rewatch value and entertainment I prefer Guerrero vs Mysterio, but for psychology and storyline purposes I'd give the cage match the vote. It all comes down to what you look for in a match.

I'm voting for Guerrero vs Mysterio to advance, but this is really, really tough.

I had to go for the cage match. Guerrero/Mysterio was brilliant don't get me wrong. But as far as one standard one on one matches go, there are many many brilliant ones. I am hard pressed though to find a better cage match than Owen vs Bret. There are some decent cage matches but I really don't know any that come close to it. Ultimately I wouldn't mind which match advances but I had to go for the cage match.
