[10/25] Hell In A Cell Thread: 2002 Flashback

[R=G]

watching this now...on the charlotte match...this show is a 3/20 so far..not interested at all and somebody spoiled the ADR return for me so to this shyt so far.

The Cena match was just boring and textbook because it was no effort from Cena in a losing effort again..he's always been like that except for the Bryan and Punk matches. He actually showed up and didn't sandbag those matches. The few matches after that were pretty good. There's no getting around it.

i honestly didnt even watch. this whole show has been background noise. i was surprised Cena lost in a few short minutes. i'm legit about to stop watching wwe for awhile(minus NXT)...i thought i could skip Raw and watch the PPV but this shyt isnt even remotely interesting to me.

WWE Wrestling News, Rumors, Results & Spoilers | Rajah.com Vince McMahon Reportedly Furious At Blood In WWE Hell In A Cell Main Event
"Both The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar were seen bleeding during the main event at the WWE Hell In A Cell pay-per-view. Taker and Lesnar's injuries were not a result of blading, but rather they were both busted open. As seen during WrestleMania 31, Lesnar ran directly into the ring post whereas Taker's injury was caused by Lesnar taking his glove off and throwing head punches.

An insider backstage texted Bryan Alvarez from F4WOnline.com as they caught Vince McMahon's reaction to the blood. It was said that due to the no blood policy in WWE, Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn were freaking out as they watched backstage.

Kevin Dunn was reportedly flipping out, demanding WWE doctors go into the Hell In A Cell structure to calm down the situation, however when Lesnar shoved the doctor, he did not return and the match continued regardless."




So all of that was "real"? lol. Brock is funny.

Not sure why they go crazy over blood, no one reportedly got sick due to mixing of blood in WWE (though ppl used toclaim Take has Hep C). It's no as serious as concussion or neck injury. Neither seemed to be bleeding to death.

I think they are working the internet community and the public in general with these reports.

Vince knows he can't "allow" blood on a PG corporate product, so it has to be a 'legit' injury. Vince has been around this stuff for 45-50 years. He's not some saint who suddenly cares about children seeing blood...he knows what truly sells a match like HIAC to the PAYING 18-35 yr old fan.

Brock clearly blocked his head into the ring post shot, so he likely bladed immediately before that moment happened. You can bump your head hard on something and receive nothing more than a knot/bruise.

It's just a shame that we're at the point that blood cant even be used sparingly.

No, if it wasn't their 875th time fighting I might've enjoyed it more. lol

damn entertaining PPV

Dirty Dutch back...glad he's still got a lil bit left in him. Don't think anybody saw Del Rio coming. Pleasant surprise. Hate how the announcer said Zeb had a scooter...no. You call it a Rascal. SMH at King trying to bury ADR. Ricardo Rodriguez is somewhere feeling left out. shytty match but doesn't matter, still a great moment

Reigns vs Bray was excellent. Probably the best match either of them has ever had. Didn't expect that at all.

Great tag match, New Day still champs :SadPTP:

Charlotte vs Nikki was great. Very brutal too. They were killing each other. Some very unsafe work but it made for an entertaining match. Nikki ruined the figure 8 at the end by rolling on her stomach, and her selling was atrocious. But whatever, great divas match.

Skipped the Seth vs Kane match and just watched the ending. The Ryback vs Kevin Owens...WTF was that about. Squash match anybody?

Main event was cool. 2nd best HIAC match of the night, but thats to be expected. Double blading was cool. Loved how they added the ringside doc to the story. Anybody who tells me it was hardway is an idiot. Its all a work fellas. Not a fan of Brock exposing the business ring. Wasnt necessary. Glad Wyatt gets to have some sort of victory on the night. Would have liked to see him join the Undertaker and form a team for Survivor Series instead but its still early.

For having 2 of the worst raws ever leading up to this event, and my disdain for concept ppvs that overkill special gimmick matches like HIAC, TLC, and Elimination Chamber, my expectations were far exceeded.

rewatching the Bray- Reigns match

They did real good

 

[FBGPlank]

brock and taker did WORK

Brock clearly blocked his head into the ring post shot, so he likely bladed immediately before that moment happened.

Oh he put his hand up but he totally missed his hand and his head went below it and hit square on the post, I watched and paused and slowed it down numerous times. He did the same thing at WM as well. Brock is the king of busting himself open on the post.

This ain't a blade job. Blade jobs don't require staples.

They did it for the business, and for our entertainment.

Jericho said in his book he hit Batista with a six figure fine for blading

The story Jericho and Batista talk about on his podcast about it is even funnier.
Vince was screaming on them and wanted to prove they intentionally blade but couldn't turn the DVD player on backstage and needed a referee's help to turn it on
