The WWE is filled with some crazy gimmick matches that leaves their viewers on the edge of their seats. When the Hell in a Cell concept debuted in ‘97, people were already on board with the new theme. So.... what is it?
•A professional cage based match held in WWE
•It features a massive steel cage which encloses the ring
•To win, you must execute a pinfall or submission.
Since the introduction of the match, there have been 33 Hell in a Cell matches that have taken place in WWE.
If you’re new to the wrestling world but want to see what this gimmick match is all about, we recommend you check out the best of the best. Here are eight of the best Hell in a Cell matches we’ve seen so far.
8) The Undertaker Vs. Edge (SummerSlam 2008) - These two have been rivals since forever and it was time to put an end to their long-time feud. This was the first match of the bloodless PG era so viewers did NOT get to see buckets of blood on the floor. Despite that, it was still a killer match.
7) Batista Vs. Triple H (Vengeance 2005) - The wrestlers ended up bleeding like crazy thanks to the barbed wire weapons and props available in their cell. Batista ended the match with his iconic Batista bomb. This has been arguably one of his best matches to date.
6) Kurt Angle Vs. The World (Armageddon 2000) - With Angle taking on five heavyweights, The Undertaker, Triple H, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, and Rikishi, you know it’s going to be good. One of the more memorable moments was when The Undertaker slammed Rikishi into a pickup truck filled with wood chips. Good stuff.
5) Triple H Vs. Cactus Jack (No Way Out 2000) - When it was time for Mick Foley to ‘retire’ he had to go out with a major match. Foley took a great fall through the cage and through the ring! At the end, the hero did not come out victorious.
4) Brock Lesnar Vs. The Undertaker (Hell In A Cell 2015) - It was unclear who was suppose to be the baby face and who was suppose to be the heel in this match. But who cares, we got to see them all bloodied up. They even assaulted the medic for trying to his job.
3) The Undertaker Vs. Mankind (King Of The Ring 1998) - Some might not consider this one to be a ‘good’ match, but it is still one of the more memorable ones. However, Mick Foley has said that he doesn’t even remember half of the things he did during that match. Some of the notable parts of the fight was when The Undertaker threw his opponent through the announcer’s desk, the accidental bump through the ceiling, and the thumbtack spots.
2) Brock Lesnar Vs. The Undertaker (No Mercy 2002) - This match proved that Lesnar was an absolute beast in the ring. At one point in the match, Lesnar just barely avoids being pinned, his tired opponent slowly rolls off of him while dripping blood into Lesnar's open mouth. So gross.
1) Shawn Michaels Vs. The Undertaker (Badd Blood 1997) - Michaels had already gained the reputation as the punchable wimp so it would be interesting to see how he would take on a vicious guy like The Undertaker. No surprise here, Michaels took an insane beating. From chair shots to punches, he took it all.
