TUCKER'S TOP 10: Best Hell in a Cell matches - does anything top the Taker-HBK Original? Oct 30, 2012 - 11:44:31 AM By Benjamin Tucker, PWTorch TV specialist The Hell in a Cell match. The ultimate gimmick match used by WWE, it was a highly-protected match that was only used once, maybe twice in a year. Then, the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view came around and in 2009, WWE offered three of these matches in one night. If there's one match that suffers severely from the PG rating, it's Hell in a Cell. No blood, minimized violence, and limited use of the Cell structure has been the name of the game recently, but there are still many good Hell in a Cell matches of the past that can still be watched and enjoyed. The following is my Top Ten Favorite Hell in a Cell matches. And, no, the Kennel from Hell did not make the list. Nor did Sunday night's Punk vs. Ryback match. But, what did, you ask?! Let's find out. (10) Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels (Bad Blood 2004). This match is over-rated. Just because a match lasts 45 minutes doesn't mean it's an instant classic. I remember WWE trying to bill this as one of the best matches of all-time, and while it was certainly a good one, it definitely didn't warrant the praise that some gave it. There was way too much selling, and it felt more like the Cell matches of today rather than a true Hell in a Cell bout. That being said, it was well-wrestled and had several good spots and nearfalls. If this match was shortened ten minutes, it would have been much better than it was. Still, it was a very good Cell match. (9) Undertaker vs. Mankind (King of the Ring 1999). As a match, there isn't much to talk about. Mick Foley himself has admitted that the idea of starting a Hell in a Cell match on top of the cell sounds a lot better on paper than in practice, as seen here. The match was more of an angle at certain points, with the climax occurring right at the start. That being said, this is undoubtedly one of the most memorable matches ever. Mick Foley was at his most reckless here, creating a spectacle that will almost definitely not be matched. The utter brutality of this Cell match has put it on a level that few others have reached, and despite the fact that the actual match quality is a bit lacking, the overall spectacle is still one of WWE's defining moments. (8) Undertaker vs. Batista (Survivor Series 2007). Some of Batista's greatest matches were against Undertaker. Their WrestleMania 23 encounter surprised many and ended up being one of the highlights of the night. Their match at the 2007 Survivor Series was no different, stealing the show in a bout that lacked a lot of psychology, but made up for it in big spots and a memorable return in the end of the match (with Edge running in to cost Taker the match). The big spots do start to take their toll on the match by the end, with both men kicking out of near-impossible situations, but it was still a solid Hell in a Cell match. (7) Triple H vs. Chris Jericho (Judgment Day 2002). Prior to Sunday's PPV, Triple H vs. Chris Jericho was one of the last Cell matches to feature the concept of battling on top of the cell, and was also one of the better Cell matches in memory. The two exhibited great chemistry, and constructed a well-paced Cell match. Notable in this match is the greatest ref bump in the history of wrestling, with Tim White bumping like Dolph Ziggler on a good night. A few spots felt contrived, and the match took a while to get going (I can only stand so many punches before it gets tired). However, it did successfully build to a great climax on the top of the cell, and had good-enough pacing and action to warrant it the number seven slot on this list. (6) Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar (No Mercy 2002). This is one of the last matches that solidified Brock Lesnar as a beast. If Vince McMahon needs a refresher on how to get green wrestlers like Ryback over, look no further than this. Lesnar continued to look like a monster after his match against a wounded Undertaker, with the Dead Man pouring buckets of blood by the end of the night. The cell protected Lesnar from exposing his lack of experience in the ring, and most of all it told more of a cohesive story (with Taker's broken hand) than most other Cell matches. This was dramatic, had convincing nearfalls, and was one of Lesnar's greatest wrestling matches ever. Even with as little experience as he had, this was still great to watch. (5) Undertaker vs. Triple H (WrestleMania 28). This match would be ranked higher, but it's hardly a Hell in a Cell match. Rather, it's more of a No DQ match with some Cell flavoring. On its own, the End of an Era match is a Match of the Year contender, as well as one of the best WrestleMania matches of all-time. As a Cell match, it's still incredible, but lacks that brutal intensity that was present in previous, non-PG Cell bouts. That being said, all three men played their parts perfectly. Shawn Michaels was stellar as the conflicted referee, and the role reversal of Taker and Triple H compared to their Match the Year before was great. It's a shame the match didn't feature the cell more, but as it stands, the match was still awesome to watch. I'd be remiss not to put it on the list. (4) Undertaker vs. Randy Orton (Armageddon 2005). Yes, another Cell match with Undertaker in it. Don't worry, there's more of him on this list. This match served as a great end to the 2005 Orton-Taker feud. They skillfully-used past spots and new ones to create a match that both referenced their past matches and kept this one fresh. Bob Orton performed extremely well in his role, enhancing the main event and his son's character. This was also another star-making performance for Orton, who held his own with Taker yet again. It may not have had as many hardcore spots as others on this list, but the storytelling was stronger in this match than almost any other features on this list, and it served as a fantastic and fitting conclusion to the Orton-Taker rivalry. (3) Undertaker vs. Edge (Summerslam 2008). I still think the spot where Edge went through the ring, no matter how contrived, looked awesome. Moving on, I thought this was a much more entertaining Cell match than the Batista-Taker affair the year prior. The spots were much more varied, with multiple captivating nearfalls and several fun call backs to the last Cell match in 2007. Much of it played out like a hybrid Cell/TLC match, which is right up both men's alleys, and they used both concepts wisely, building up to one of the better finishes in Cell history. (2) Triple H vs. Cactus Jack (No Way Out 2000). This contest is similar to how the Undertaker-Mankind match from 1999 should have gone. This was brutal, especially for Mick Foley. In his (first of many) retirement match, Foley pulled out all of the stops to produce a memorable main event. And, produce he did. Both Foley and Triple H had spots that Vince McMahon would cringe at today. Triple H continued to get over his heel character, and Foley was sympathetic as the man whose job was on the line. All of the stars lined up to deliver an incredible encounter, and one of my favorites of the Foley-H series. As far as hardcore, emotionally-driven matches are concerned, this one is one of the best. (1) Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels (Badd Blood 1997). The first and the best. Blood, intensity, a good back-story, the debut of Kane, and one of the greatest moments of Jim Ross's career ("That's Kane! That's gotta be Kane!"). Shawn Michaels sold like a champ and took bumps that were unheard of at the time. The bout wasn't paced too frantically and took its time between spots (but not too much). Both Shawn and Taker got their characters across in the match, and used the big cage in an innumerable amount of unique ways, an incredible feat considering the match was the first for the concept. Without a doubt, this is the best Hell in a Cell match in history. |

Punk-Cena Rivalry Reportedly Ending Soon, WWE Officials Happy with Tag Team Division By Marc Middleton Oct 31, 2012 - 8:47:11 AM - We haven't seen the end of the feud between John Cena and CM Punk yet. Apparently WWE officials are working on something that will end the rivalry before Royal Rumble and WrestleMania season arrives. - WWE officials are pleased with the turn around the tag team division has made lately. They are especially high on Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow. As noted before, reviving the tag team division was something Triple H has been behind. |

Good list. Undertaker vs Michaels at Bad Blood is definitely the best HITC match of all time. Plus it includes one of the best chair shots of all time. |

Cody needs to fully commit and get a robe and pink or purple trunks. That leather sleeveless duster he wears looks ridiculous and must be terminated immediately for this to work. |

Another Traditional Survivor Series Match?, Update on the Backstage Blow-up with Vince, More By Marc Middleton Nov 5, 2012 - 8:02:08 AM - The New York Times has a new article up looking at Linda McMahon's Senate campaign, noting that in the past three years she has spent close to $100 million of her own money on her campaigns, including the one that failed in 2010. The Times wrote: "Ms. McMahon may or may not get to influence job creation as a senator. But she has already made an impact on the Connecticut economy by dishing out close to $100 million for two Senate races over the past three years, far more than anyone has ever spent of their own money to win any federal seat. She has long since blown by the $72 million Ross Perot spent of his own money on presidential bids in 1992 and 1996." - We noted a few weeks back that a top WWE Superstar lashed out at Vince McMahon backstage, pointing out that WWE's product was in trouble, the ratings were bad and Vince himself may be out of touch. Word now is that John Cena was the one to speak out. - WWE officials are now considering adding another traditional elimination Survivor Series match to the Survivor Series pay-per-view later this month. With Team Punk vs. Team Foley featuring top stars, the second match will likely feature midcarders. |

How shameless are the McMahon's? "President Barack Obama and Linda McMahon will fight for us. Vote Barack Obama For President and Vote Linda McMahon For U.S. Senate" As noted earlier, the McMahon campaign recently ran advertising where she encouraged Obama supporters to split their ticket and vote for her and the President, although the campaign insists that she's backing Governor Mitt Romney. Meanwhile, the President appeared in advertising over the weekend backing McMahon's opponent, Chris Murphy. The ad was the only one that the President has done for a Senate candidate during this election cycle. |

CM Punk Upset With WWE Not Promoting His Appearance On Talk Show By Daniel Pena Nov 20, 2012 - 2:54:27 PM WWE Champion CM Punk is scheduled to appear on AMC's Talking Dead this Sunday, a live talk show hosted by Chris Hardwick that discusses episodes of the popular The Walking Dead drama series. The sports-entertainment organization has yet to promote his appearance on the 30-minute discussion panel program, drawing his ire Tuesday. He tweeted, "Yes, I will be on @AMCTalkingDead on Sunday. Shocking how WWE didn't promote it or get AMC the proper materials in time to announce it. "I will also be the Grand Marshall in the Chicago turkey day parade. Also not announced or promoted by "my" company. Shocking. "This is what happens when you go over everyone's head to hustle and acquire your own outside appearances. #DIY "#disrespect "Was promoted on Monday. Wasn't Sunday night when it was supposed to be. Ball dropped. S'okay. I'll pick it up and score like I always do. "Looking forward to discussing @WalkingDead_AMC Sunday on @AMCTalkingDead Tune in!" Sunday's episode of The Walking Dead airs at 9:00 p.m., following by a replay at 10:01 p.m. Talking Dead with Punk will then air at 11:00 p.m. |

Uh oh. CM Punk Surgery Update: Surgeon Comments On The Procedure By Michael Bluth Dec 4, 2012 - 4:36:08 PM WWE.com has provided another update on WWE Champion CM Punk undergoing emergency surgery earlier today. Dr. Andrews successfully completed a scope of CM Punk’s left knee this afternoon and trimmed a cartilage tear in the knee. Dr. Chris Amann, a colleague of Dr. Andrews, issued this statement to WWE: “CM Punk underwent knee surgery today to remove a piece of torn meniscus that had locked up his knee. The surgery, performed by Dr. James Andrews, went smoothly and CM Punk is expected to make a full recovery.” WWE Hall of Famers Shawn Michaels and Roddy Piper are among those to wish Punk a speedy recovery on Twitter Update On CM Punk's Knee Surgery & His Status For TLC By Michael Bluth Dec 4, 2012 - 4:04:25 PM WWE broke the story today that WWE Champion CM Punk is undergoing "emergency" knee surgery today in Pensacola, FL. Immediately after last night's RAW, Punk's knee was examined Dr. James Andrews and the decision was made for him to undergo surgery today. As for WWE's upcoming Tables, Ladders & Chairs pay-per-view, where Punk is scheduled to wrestle Ryback in the main event, Punk's status for the show is questionable at best. Dave Meltzer of f4wonline.com is reporting that Punk's knee was worse than originally expected and he won't be competing. While it's possible that Punk could work a gimmick match against Ryback just 12 days after surgery, it's more likely that WWE will keep Punk off the show and allow him to fully heal in time for his match against The Rock next month. |

I think that's the storyline reason. I watched it back, and I don't see how he hurt his knee. He's needed the surgery, and I think this gives them a way to keep Ryback strong, and lead to Rock v Punk. |

I just watched it too, didn't see anything, unless when Ryback grabbed Punk for the Shell shock, but when Ryback put Punk through the table with the powerbomb, Punk went down to one knee before it. |
