This is a special edition of "My Thoughts" as I will talk about the Hell in the Cell match. Not only will I talk about the match at Summerslam, but I will talk about the history of that match, the kind of matches that went on in the cell, and of course my thoughts on it, so lets begin! The hell in the cell match may be called the most dangerous, the most destructive match in wrestling history. On wwe.com, they had a segment of "list this" and they named the Hell in the cell (HITC) the most dangerous match ever. Well certainly this match has shortened careers, damaged the bodies of people who been in it, and made history in professional wrestling. I have to say, and most people would say this with me, that the best, well known, and historic HITC match was the undertaker vs. Mankind in 1998. That match really set a mild-stone and the bar of all and upcoming HITC matches. There will never be a hell in the cell match that will recreate, top, and beat that match. That match is my #1 HITC match of all time. There are so many new fans that are coming to the wwe, most of them are kids. But my advice is, if you never saw this match, the taker and mankind match, then you HAVE to see it! There have been other HITC matches too. There were a total of, I am pretty sure, 15 or 16 matches. I haven't seen all of them, but seen quite a few, maybe more like 5 or 6 of them. My second best hell in the cell match was shawn Michaels vs. triple h at bad blood in 2003. That was my first pay-per-view that I have ever ordered, but that was also the first hell in the cell match that I witnessed live. I have HITC matches on DVD, but never on a ppv live. This is my second best hell in the cell match because if you like weapons, if you like blood, if you like the steel, like I do, then you have to see this. This match was lead by a PERFECT storyline and rivalry. I absolutely loved this match and I would watch it again and again if I could. There were also many other HITC matches, including one with taker and the big boss man. I liked this one on account that it had a good ending where taker hung boss man over the ring. That is a moment that I will never forget. There are two names that I associate with hell in the cell. One of course is the undertaker, hes been in 7 HITC matches and his record is 4-3. The other name I associate with this match is HHH. I don't know how many of these matches he has been through or his record, but he has had some historic moments and historic matches in there. For example, when HHH and mick foley were on the top of the cage, HHH threw mick over his shoulder and foley went through the top and landed and went through the ring. The cell now is different than before. First, its more dangerous. It is higher (taller), wider, and made of more steel. The cell that taker and edge match that just happened at this summerslam this past week was more sturdy and thicker steel. I say that this match was not a classic as some people are saying, but it was good. I don't think it will top the list of the best HITC matches in wwe history. I know now that the stars going to the top of the cage will never happen again. The cell now is taller and more dangerous than it was years back, but the new version of HITC has something special. That is more weapons and new moves. Even though they wont go to the top and go through the cell anymore, this match will have weapons galore. Just like the taker and edge match, it had ladders, tables, chairs, and steel. Also, we wont see them flying of the top but they will do some other INSANE moves like edge spearing taker through the cell and taker lighting a fire through the ring. The reason why its higher now, is because the ladders will work better. Before people weren't able to stand on them as they would touch the top of the cell, but now it is way taller, so they have more room to jump off and land better so they don't get hurt. This match is my second favorite, as the elimination chamber is my first. Both of these matches are violent, deadly and will shorten careers and will harm the human body. But I know this, the Hell in the Cell match is a fan favorite, a top and famous match in the wwe, and it will and always make history when there is a match in it. That is all for "my thoughts" for today but please check back to my others and wait to see my others coming soon as I will post one each Friday. If you have any suggestions for a future "My thoughts" blog, then feel free to message me. Anyway that is my thoughts on this topic, but what are yours? Talk to you next time!
