#3 The first Hell in a Cell match took place in 1997

"I will bring the pain and Deadman, all you've got to do is show up."

These were the famous words of Shawn Michaels before facing The Undertaker in the very first HIAC match.

While Shawn was victorious that night, his claim to bring the pain didn't go down as planned. HBK found himself on the receiving end of a beatdown at the hands of The Undertaker for the majority of the match.

Other than this match being the first match of its kind, it also featured the iconic debut of Kane. The Big Red Monster would play a huge part in Michaels picking up the win that night.

#2. Armageddon 2000 marked the only 6-man match for The WWE Championship

In December 2000, WWE Champion Kurt Angle was forced to put his title on the line against The Undertaker, Triple H, The Rock, Rikishi, and Stone Cold Steve Austin. It would be the first and only 6-way Hell in a Cell match for the coveted WWE Championship.

All of the company's high-profile storylines at the time were merged into one bout. The match didn't feature the greatest display of technical wrestling. However, this car crash of a battle was quite entertaining.

Despite the odds not being in his favor, Kurt Angle emerged victoriously.

#1. Mick Foley has never won one

While he doesn't have a spotless record, The Undertaker has won 8 out of the 14 Cell matches he's competed in. Which also happens to be the most appearances of any other wrestler. Sasha Banks currently holds the record for the most Hell in a Cell appearances and the most wins on the women's side of things.

But despite all of Mick Foley's iconic moments involving this match-type, Mrs. Foley's Baby Boy sits an astounding 0-3.

His first loss came in the form of a Hell in a Cell Texas Tornado tag team match on the June 15, 1998 edition of Raw. His second loss came via The Undertaker at King of the Ring 1998. He'd soon be retired by Triple H at No Way Out in 2000, but The Hardcore Icon would not stay retired long.
