The First Hell in the Cell apperciation thread

[Notorioushnic]

Around this time, This is where both shows were really picking up the heat. The NWO was kicking as and HBK/Bret Hart/Taker were going at it along with Austin/Mchmahon. It was a great time to be a fan of wrestling but when Hell In the Cell came into play is where wrestling changed forever.

HBK played his arrogant punk ass heel role to perfection, From the way he busted Taker's head numerous times to the way he did Bulldog in London to how disrespectful he became so I wanted to see the Undertaker step up and literally knock his face off but he along with HHH, Rude, and Chyna would kick ass and then run.

The match itself was very intense, included bloodshed, alot of violence, The spots Michaels took in there(When he fell off the cage) had me

Then Kane's suprise apperance at the end was

This shyt was performed and booked with perfection from begining to end. Then you look at the WWE around this time period now and like

Austin/McMahon didn't actually start until the Raw after Wrestlemania 14. But yeah co-sign the booking of that match was great.

HBK took one of the GOAT asskickings I've seen in wrestling in that match.

Dope match but I remember Pillman's death looming over that ppv like crazy. Not trying to derail the thread but that was the first wrestling death I remember.

Anyways some of the bumps HBK took were highlight material, had he not broke his back at the Rumble I wonder what tricks he would've pulled out. That side of the cage leaning back fall bump would've been had HBK been 100. Match is completely overshadowed by the 2 bump HIAC match Mankind/UT had.

That was the best one. Taker/Foley gets a bunch of talk because those big falls but HBK/Taker was the better match to me. Taker was straight up killing Shawn out there.

Badd Blood 97 was the first ppv I got as a youngster. My family watched it with me, everybody was like: "He put a whooping on that boy. I ain't never seen somebody get beat like that."

Kane looked like a monster too, ripping the cell door off and storming into the ring. They had already built up Kane for a while anyway and when he debuted It was crazy.

 

[CJ]

That table spot though I preferred that over Mick's.

Just one foot in and we could have had an extra 4 years of one of the GOATs.

the first hell in a cell is a classic match...taker's best actually...the brutality and the fukkery behind mankind-taker hell in a cell will always overshadow it though

Kane's debut was perfect.. For months he was heavily promoted to debut and they waited until He debuted in a demonic structure(Helli n the Cell( along with the month of October(The month of Halloween). His look was straight monsterous, menacing and intiminating(Hence how he ripped the door off the cage and how he dominated Taker like he was nothing)

HBK took some of the worst ass whoopings Ive ever seen, The match looked like a straight up Warzone
