If a match gets this illustrious rating, that’s a sign that you absolutely must see it

#5 Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker – Hell in a Cell - Bad Blood 1997

This match has become legendary for many reasons

The first-ever Hell in a Cell match in WWE was absolutely phenomenal. It reached new heights in terms of drama, brutality and the lengths wrestlers were willing to go in order to win.

For almost thirty minutes, Shawn Michaels & The Undertaker destroyed one another with their brutal offence, which included HBK being thrown from the side of the cell onto the announcer’s table. By 1997 standards, it was very shocking and high-risk, which is why it got such high praise.

Match aside, this event will also be forever remembered for Kane’s spectacular debut.

It couldn’t possibly get any better than this. Kane appeared after months of hype, ripped the door off the Cell, and Tombstoned his brother, setting up a feud that would be revisited time and again for years. All in all, a perfect end to an otherwise perfect match.
