Hell in a cell

[Guest]

When do you think the next Hell in a Cell match will be? RVD vs Eddy would be cool, but I don't think the feud has enough hatred between the 2.

[Guest swan]

Good chance we'll never see it again. Can lead to the end of careers.

[Guest oldschoolwrestling]

I'm sure we'll see it again, just nothing crazy like Mick Foley getting thrown off.  

 

I'd say save it until Brock Lesnar has wrestled a lot of matches then have him beat the crap out of somebody in it.

[Guest Nevermortal]

I'd like to see Benoit/Angle in there. That'd rock.

[Guest dreamer420]

I think the only place for the Hardy's, Dudley's, and E&C to go is the Hell in The Cell.  A one shot deal for old times sake that would tear the roof off of any arena in the world.

NO WAY! Those 2 already proved they will take some crazy bumps in a regular cage match. I don't NOT want to see Angle or Benoit do some crazy over the top stunt that could hurt themselves or their Careers.

 

and if we ever heard it was Vince and the WWf that pushed them to do the stunt all us "Smarks" would end up, out front of Titan Towers with guns and knives.

They should have done it instead of the WM TLC match where their thirds got involved (Rhyno, Lita, Spike). Now there's probably no chance of it happening, though I certainly wouldn't object if they did.

[Guest Cataclysm911]

I don't think that there should be a HIAC w/out the Taker'. It's just not the same.

 

Then again, the Undertaker won't be around for ever and I don't want to see the match type die, so..

[Guest dreamer420]

What about HHH vs. Cactus Jack?

Holy crap!!! Could you picture Benoit giving Angle the Rolling Germans on top of the cell???!!!

[Guest Nevermortal]

That'd be a fucking great visual.

[Guest Mark4steamboat]

HHH vs Undertaker. could be pretty good actually.

[Guest cobainwasmurdered]

i like HITC but i don't want anyone risking their careers for one stupid spot.

[Guest Kahran Ramsus]

Hell in the Cell should be used as the blowoff to a superhot feud.  The last time they could have used it, IMO, was with Austin/Angle.  Now, it shouldn't be used for a while.

[Guest]

With Mick Foley and Shawn Michaels both retired, I don't see Hell in a Cell being revived anytime soon, as those two have set the bar so high that the common fan expects damn near suicidal bumps.  

 

They set a standard of sorts, which made the tame by comparison UT vs Big Boss Man Cell match look even worse (not that it needed the help.)

 

And truth be told, I'm not too keen on someone trying to kill themself for the sake of my entertainment and Vince's profit margin.

 

Now, if Jeff Hardy becomes a singles star...maybe then there'd be a HIAC revival.  But it needs a suicidal bump man to make it "work" now for the bulk of the fan base.

 

But barring that, it's goodbye to Hell in a Cell.  And that's probably for the best.

[Guest Some Guy]

As Kahran said the match has to be built up to by a super-hot feud.  And IMO is has to be a ME match.  RVD and Eddy would be good but Eddy's injury history would make it a dandgerous match for him.  If they do one this year it'll probably be HHH vs Angle or somehting.

[Guest Brian]

Never. Gimmick matches have a limit to them, and HIAC has run its course. Maybe in the future when it becomes a novelty, but I just think it's gone on too much and really they've hit the extremes, so they should pull out for awhile. They should have done the same with ladder matches.

[Guest goodhelmet]

I agree with Brian. Hell In A Cell is a great concept and was a great way to end three feuds BUT there isn't one feud or two wrestlers in the WWF right now who I think could pull it off successfully.

[Guest nWoScorpion]

like other shave said in other posts, make a War Games match 1 time a tear at survivor Series or soemthin.

[Guest]

I think Hell in a Cell does have the potential for one more mind-blowing classic. However, there isnt really any fued intense enough to require a HIAC match. There are a number of possible combinations that could "blow up" the arena though. Maybe jericho could finally get over as a "killer" in a rematch w/Triple H, although HHH is in NO condition to work a match like that at the moment. Angle/Benoit or a TLC/HIAC would tear the roof off too.

I am so ready for WWF to use the War Games gimmick.  Two rings in a cage with a 4 vs. 4 theme would so kick ass provided the right people were involved.

 

I also wish the WWF would do a leathal lottery gimmick once to help out their almost non-existent tag team division.  They could just radomly pair people off and do a tourny for a number 1 contender spot.  Leathal Lottery's of the past have usually provided some good feuds and tag teams.

[Guest nl5xsk1]

At this point, I think I'd rather see that triple-dome-of-terror (or whatever the hell it was called) that WCW used to promote that God-awful movie of their's.   It was three cages piled on top of each other, decreasing in size as you go higher.  

 

Originally, it was used by WCCW down in Texas, although that might have been when they were known as USWA or one of the other names they used.

 

When WCW used it, Kanyon took that mansized bump off of it via a throw from Mike Awesome (it was almost funny to compare how WWF used Mick's HIAC bump to make him a legend to the way that WCW used Kanyon's)

 

But, just like Wargames, I can't see Vince using an idea that wasn't his own, in fear that'd be huge and he'd have to admit that one of the rivals had a better idea.

[Guest WWF4Life]

If they continue to build the Flair-'Taker feud at the current pace, I'd like to see a HIAC match between them, possibly at Judgement Day or King of the Ring. They're certainly building the history, their confrontations get a lot of heat, so it'd work IMO.

[Guest Just call me Dan]

I think it could be cool to have Lesnar in there with someone and he totally squash them to help get him over.  They could just play up to the fact that there is NO escape from there and have security have to go in there and get him out before he murders the guy.  No insane bumps necessary just some sick looking moves not involving great heights could be pulled off.  It could they really be known as hell IN a cell, not Hell if youre thrown from atop the cell.

 

 

Angle/Benoit would rule but I really wonder if Benoit will tone down his risk now after that bad injury

This would be about as good as Taker/Bossman from Wrestlemania 15.

Errrrrrrr...no. It would have heat, unlike 'Taker-Bossman, and it'd be a better a match, unless you're suggesting that Flair is on the same level as the Bossman at the moment. Their match at WrestleMania X-8 was one of the best that night, and so it stands to reason that a HIAC match would be just as good. Either that, or I just want Flair to blade again  

[Guest notJames]

But the reputation of the HITC match has been built on the wrestlers climbing to the top and falling down from or through it. Can you see Flair or UT doing either at this point in their careers? Or any main eventer today?

 

Let them store the HITC away until the days of crazy risk-taking maineventers comes back en vogue. If ever.

[Guest Just call me Dan]

But, there would be zero bumps, as neither man takes any climatic ones.  They would have to try and make up for it with double blade jobs and some half-assed use of the cage.  The match would probably be good, as was the match at Mania, but the Cell is unecessary.

[Guest WWF4Life]

I see it as the best possible solution to the Flair-'Taker rivalry though. It's possible to have a good HIAC without someone being thrown off it, and maybe the whole mentality of ludicrous bumps from the cell can be moved away from. I would think that the legacy of the cell is more of a way to settle disputes with a brutal finale, rather than silly bumps that make no sense. Thus, it'd be perfect for their feud.

[Guest The Man in Blak]

Actually, I don't really see using the HITC for any of the feuds mentioned in the last couple of posts.

 

Flair/Undertaker would involve a lot of blood, sure, but as CallMeDan said, it really wouldn't take full advantage of the whole HITC gimmick and, in reality, it'd be a little unrealistic for them to put an inactive wrestler (Flair) in a Cell with the guy that basically lives the gimmick in the Undertaker (UT has four HITC appearances, which is only rivaled by Foley, who has three).

 

Benoit/Angle has absolutely no business in a HITC.  Don't take me wrong, it'd be a great match...but that's only because Benoit & Angle could wrestle in a bra-and-panties match and probably carry it to three snowflakes.  Benoit & Angle's best environment is in the ring, where they can wrestle, trade holds, build a flow/psychology for the match...and that would have to be put on the backburner just to live up to the HITC mystique, which both guys don't really need to do to have a good match.

 

A HITC would be a great punctuation to the feud between the Hardyz and the Dudleyz, if the WWF adhered to it as the last match EVER between these guys, the ultimate blowoff...but at the same time, I don't really see a feud between these guys being picked up in the near future, especially with the Dudleyz split between the rosters.  Though, maybe some time next year, this would be a GREAT match to have, as the Dudleyz singles pushes will have likely failed, the Hardyz will still be in "crowd-pleasing tag team" stasis, and they'll both be looking for some feuds.

 

The only match that I think would even be remotely worth watching in a HITC in the near future would be in two months...

 

...and that would be Austin v. Triple H, in a rematch of their amazing match at No Way Out last year.  They could build up their feud/match from the past (as well as their interactions from the 6-man HITC at Armageddon), throw in Triple H's mystique of retiring Cactus Jack in that same cell, and then let those two handle the rest.

 

Other than that...I just don't think there's a feud that even remotely qualifies as being worthy of HITC right now.
