10 Hell in a Cell matches that should not have happened

This Sunday is the 8^th annual Hell in a Cell pay-per-view.

#8 DX - Triple H & Shawn Michaels vs. Legacy - Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase, Jr (Hell in a Cell - October 4, 2009)

Great match, but there’s nothing better than killing young talent.

From the same evening as the prior match (that also had John Cena vs. Randy Orton in the structure), this was actually a really, really good match. The problem was that they could have done the exact match without using the gimmick. It could have been a regular No-DQ Tornado Tag match or even a regular cage match.

Putting a match like this inside Hell in a Cell was just a total misstep. This was two young guys who looked like complete chumps for the entirety of their feud with the goofball 40-year-olds acting like 15-year-olds. Then, after comedy and silliness, a slight bit of serious tension happens, and WWE announces a PPV based on doing Hell in a Cell matches.

Hey, HHH and HBK are huge stars! They DESERVE to be inside Hell in a Cell! The only thing that saves this is how great of a match it actually was. Seek it out.
