>be me >a hell in a cell cage >have tons of memorable

hell in a cell hasnt meant anything in almost a decade


this isnt a 2016 thing

all gimmick matches are useless now, elimination chamber is even worse. I remember the last one was a disaster, you literally heard Ziggler call the whole match

They killed when they based an entire PPV around the gimmick. It just waters down the concept.

HIAC should only ever be the climax to the most savage of fueds.

i miss when the cell and elimination chamber were special events for blood feuds
having them scheduled to happen every single year is shit it takes away from it so much. HIAC doesn't even do good numbers, does it? why would they tarnish it like that on a c-show

This. When it's a spontaneous story twist, it's exciting and meaningful. When it's a date on a calendar, it just becomes an episode of raw inside a cage

There is a cancerous movement going around silently in the background unacknowleged by majority. It is the what I call Pop-oriented booking or simply the booking based on receiving "pops". Hell In a cell falls into that category. It used to be a gimmick to settle most heated feuds but it is being done simply to get a pop, a reaction of "oh shit!!" from the audience.

I firmly believe if this cancerous movement isnt killed, the industry of pro-wrestling would die a miserable death.

Well, seems WWE has forgotten the Elimination Chamber exists this year, so it's finally gotten the rest it needed.

>>1873123
HHH vs Undertaker should be the match depicted in the OP

>>1873123
There should be one, MAYBE 2 Hell in a Cell matches a year, and only when the storyline justifies it.

>>1873123
It's now just literally a reason for people to use the word "hell" a lot in promos.

>>1873231

WWE always runs a good thing into the ground

There shouldnt be one a year, never mind two. Break it out once every 2 years to settle whichever feud the fans have really been invested most in, and that's it.

Are there even people left on the roster who could realistically have a great HIAC match? Maybe John Cena, but it's the kind of match that isn't really suited for the flippy shit we get today.

>name two people on the roster who could have a wrestlemania worthy HIAC match

can you do it?

AJ Styles and Samoa Joe

One of the first men to enter HIAC was Shawn Michaels.

>a match type most famous for high spot bumps isn't suited for flippy shit

>le wacky Dean asylum match had tacks and a little bit of barbed wire
>no Hell in a Cells at the PPV will have either

feels bad
