Six things you didn't know about the first ever Hell In A Cell

1. HELL COMES TO WWE   The stipulation premiered on October 5, 1997, at the now-defunct pay-per-view Badd Blood. The PPV resurfaced in 2003 and 2004, but all three featured a Hell in a Cell main-event match (10/5/97- Shawn Michaels vs Undertaker; 6/13/03- Triple H vs Kevin Nash; 6/19/04- Triple H vs Shawn Michaels).

2. BIG RED MONSTER   The 10/5/97 Hell in a Cell Match featured Kane's WWE debut, and it saw him rip the door off the cell's hinges and deliver a Tombstone to his brother, Undertaker, costing him the match.

3. ACROPHOBIA   HBK fell from the Cell and crashed through the Spanish announce table. Battling atop the structure is now something of a Cell tradition. However, no one has wone atop the Cell since Triple H pinned Chris Jericho up there during 2002's Judgment Day.

4. THE GROUNDBREAK KID   Shawn Michaels might be the unofficial guinea pig for testing out stipulation matches in WWE. Aside from fighting in the first Hell in a Cell, HBK also had the honor of competing in WWE's first Iron Man, Eliminaion Chamber and Ladder Matches.

5. LORDS OF THE CELL   There have been 16 Hell in a Cell contests, and either Triple H or Undertaker has appeared in all but one of them. The exception was a match held during te 8/24/98 episode of Raw, in which Mankind fought Kane to a No Contest.

6. STAY GOLDEN   Shawn Michaels was European Champion heading into the 10/5/97 match with The Deadman, but his title was not on the lie. In face, only six Hell in a Cell Matches have featured Championship defenses, and a title has never changed hands inside the hellacious structure. So, if you're holding gold, rest easy. Or don't.
