ECW Hardcore Revolution help

OK, so I randomly started playing ECW Hardcore Revolution for the Dreamcast. The game got terrible reviews, no many people like it yadda yadda yadda, oh well, its EC F'n W.
My problem is this, how the hell do you win cage matches? No matter WHAT I do I can't climb out of the cage. Once I get to the top of the cage I just sit there. It doesn't make any sense. The only way I've been able to win is to win be causing more damage to my opponents then they do to me. But I'm usually done with a match in about 2-5 minutes. I'm tired of having to wait for the time limit to be up.
Someone help PLEASE
