My Thoughts on WWE’s Hell in the Cell

Last night was WWE’s Hell in the Cell PPV. I was a bit disappointed in this PPV. To me a Hell in the Cell [HC] match is to be the ultimate conclusion to a bitter feud. Only one match last night came close to this definition, and that was DX v. Legacy. The other HC matches just felt like regular matches that happen to be in a cage to me. I don’t feel a whole PPV should be based on the Hell in the Cell, it makes that special match feel watered down. I give Hell in the Cell a 3 stars out of 5 stars star rating.

My match of the night goes to Batista/Mysterio v. Jericho/Big Show, with honorable mentions to the U.S. and Intercontinental title matches.

Results:
My Ratings: Woooo! 5 stars, Great 4 stars, Good 3 stars, Okay 2 stars, Eh? 1 stars

  • 3 stars
    The Undertaker def. CM Punk (New World Heavyweight Champion) [HC]
  • 4 stars
    Intercontinental Champion John Morrison def. Dolph Ziggler
  • 1 star
    Divas Champion Mickie James def. Alicia Fox
  • 4 stars
    Unified Tag Team Champions Chris Jericho & Big Show def. Batista & Rey Mysterio
  • 3 stars
    Randy Orton def. John Cena (New WWE Champion) [HC]
  • 2.5 stars
    Drew McIntyre def. R-Truth
  • 4 stars
    United States Champion Kofi Kingston def. The Miz and Jack Swagger (Triple Threat Match)
  • 3.5 stars
    D-Generation X def. The Legacy [HC]

Overall: 3 stars

Random Thoughts:
  • ECW?? Where is ECW? Has anyone seen ECW?
  • If the Diva matches are going to be like this, why dedicate time during a PPV to them? I’ve seen WAY better Diva matches. I fear for some of those girls safety. Mickie James clearly carried Alicia Fox.
  • What was up with that New Jersey crowd?
  • Now I can’t hear The Mizz say he’s awesome without thinking about Tony Atlas. Ha!
  • The next PPV is only 20 days away??
  • Was that Undertaker v. CM Punk match too short for you too?

Final Comment

I’m making no plans to order the next WWE PPV, Bragging Rights. Having two $50 dollar PPVs in month is just too much. I’m going to wait until November’s Survivor Series.
