Now that the dust has settled, what do you think of cinematic matches?

Objectively the worst thing to ever happen to the industry. Right next to letting women wrestle.

the only one I ever liked was the Darby Allin and Sting vs Team Taz one in a grungey urban warehouse a few years ago.

The Broken Matt stuff was pretty interesting when it first happened, but then they drew it out way too long and killed the hype.

They're great but should never be considered canon to the main show. Would watch an entire movie of then.

The Cena/Wyatt firefly funhouse was pretty great and gave them an excellent way to right John out of wrestling.

Then they just pretended it didn't happen.

For me, it was the vignettes leading up to it.

None of them have lived up to Hardy's masterpiece. Some of them have been decent and fun since then but it's fair to say they've run their course and unless someone gets some brilliant new ideas I'd be happy if I never saw another one.

The Final Deletion was the best one by a country mile. The only other exception being the Firefly Funhouse match but that was more of a segment than having wrestling.
The Final Deletion perfect apex of all the camp and vignettes that lead up to this moment. They tried and added stuff you usually don't see in a wrestling match. It's also entirely a vision made by both Matt and Jeff with almost no outside influences. People forget TFD was hated by internet smarks for a bit, and /asp/ was the only place on the internet who saw the value and greatness of it.

Everything after this was just a parody. Way too goofy. Way too over the top. This includes WWE, AEW, and even The Hardy's themselves. Haven't seen the Sting/Darby one though.

Stuff like Lucha Underground is great. When its mixed in with live matches it feels too different and wrong.

LU never really had a cinematic match now that I think about it
It was usually just the segments and the matches were like a regular show

I think what made TFD stand out was all the vignettes leading up to it were done in the exact same soap opera style.

Everything else is just normal wrestling promos leading to a movie match.

Great and amazing when TNA / Impact did it.

Completely corporate, soulless, and sad when WWE tried it.

Hit and miss when AEW does it.

Jeremy Borash and Abyss / Joseph Park were major helpers behind the scene on the TNA wrestlekino.
