In my opinion it would be the cage that XPW use for that one show that I would call the worst. It’s famous for that YouTube video where the cage was physically falling apart during the match

Worst is definitely that red domed TNA cage. Best, I'd go with the blue bars cage from late 80s to mid 90s.
However, I've always liked the rickety mesh cages of the early 80s.

Add me to the list that doesn't like red cages, talk about sensory overload-city.
I love the black bar cage that WWF used for Austin vs Vince. Look awesome and it was fun watching Stone Cold whoop Vince's ass all up and down that cage.
I understand why they used mesh for the past 20 years, but it doesn't look as cool or grand as the blue and black bars from the 80s or 90s.

The blue cage will always be my favorite.

So long as you're not using chicken wire, it's probably fine, and even that, I'll forgive if it's just to keep people in/out. Please, please do not try to climb it.

Worst: Bright red cages that are really awkward to see through. This refers to both the recent HIAC as well as the infamous TNA impossible-to-climb-out-of chamber thing. At least there was comedy value in Homicide being unable to escape the RED DOME OF DOOM.

My favorite thing is that they looked across the locker room of X-Division guys and singled out the guy who always had kinesio tape on his shoulder and said, "HOMICIDE, CLIMB THE STEEL ASYLUM!"

I don't mind mesh cages, but prefer it used for when you're not "supposed" to climb out. The bar cage is better for climbing, even if it's probably considerably more dangerous to be slammed into. The door spot from Triple H versus Mankind in the cage, where Chyna slams the door on Foley due to being way too reckless in typical Chyna fashion is hard to watch. Foley took the blame for that in his autobiography. He told Chyna to slam the door as hard as she could before the match, which she did. He said his mistake was sticking himself so far out the door, not really thinking through just how much a solid steel door swung as hard as Chyna could slam it would hurt.

My answer for both is the blue cage. To a wrestling fan, it looks more painful, but to someone who doesn't normally watch wrestling, it looks like a toy.

He climbed the cage AFTER being DQ'd in a multi-man cage match, only to be stopped by an incredibly high Jeff Hardy who never even sniffed the X-Division again God damn that whole 1/4 episode of Impact was a mess

Pig was talking from a kayfabe explanation. the holes are there so the camera can get a shot without the mesh in the way. All the way to the top? My madeup kayfabe reason would be so that the setup/maintenance crew could easily climb to the top and do their inspections/repairs.

Foley told a story in his first book, may have been about DeNucci. The cage was chicken wire and the guy cutting the promo was instructed to distract from this fact. So he said “It May look like chicken wire, but it’s not chicken wire!”

They tried to book Terry Taylor in a cage match during his WWF run but PETA insisted he be cage-free.

So he said “It May look like chicken wire, but it’s not chicken wire!” Yup, that was DeNucci. Foley was poking fun at him about it. Also had a funny bit about how Dominic was from an era where entrance music was not universal, so he never had a theme. Shane Douglas ribbed him by telling production to play "Tequila" as DeNucci's entrance theme for I think a Brian Hildebrand tribute show.
