Phantom Lord Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 I kinda wish they would bring back the old hell in the cell. At least the height of it. The new cell is so damn big. If they used the new cell cage but with the old cell's height it would be perfect. Charlotte/Sasha seems like it could be the Thunderdome version of Flair vs. Vader. A good match but no real reason why it's in a cage. They could have easily gone the I quit match route with the two. Roman vs. Rusev in the cage could be interesting but yadda yadda Roman overcoming the odds. I actually think Owens vs. Rollins could be good. I mean Owens has shown he'll almost "kill" a guy in a regular match. There's no referee stoppage in the cell. He could keep powerbombing Seth Rollins into the mat over and over and over. It would really put him over as a vicious heel. It would be a good a time as any to maybe dig up something with Triple H since you know there's that story too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 I don't remember the Halloween Havoc dome cage match having many actual cage spots either but maybe I'm remembering it wrong. I just remember Muta realizing "oh fuck, I forgot this was electrified" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always prefered the original Hell in a Cell to the current one debuting at Unforgiven 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfrey Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 My concern for Owens/Rollins is that KO has shown he's willing to take some serious bumps in big matches and Rollins is gonna do Rollins stuff. I'm not saying he's sloppy or unsafe, but some of his spots have a higher chance of going wrong than most and his track record this year is not great. The last thing I want to see is Seth try a running powerbomb into the cell or something dumb like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beech27 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Given that they just let them close Raw; put them on the poster; avoided the dreaded a main event term; women's matches have been a main event before, so it wouldn't be worth announcing in that case; the show is in Boston; it's a "first ever" gimmick match; the Universal title feud is a heatless placeholder; there have been rumors to this effect for weeks; I think it's safe to say Sasha/Charlotte is going on last.

JCM Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Well if they go on last after two other HIAC matches that just makes it more likely they'll try something stupid. Why couldn't they just have this be the only HIAC match on the card? It would feel much more special that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Because 3 is "better" than one in their eyes, I guess someone at home is thinking holy shit! 3 matches! But I see very little chance they will all deliver. I don't know how Sasha and Charlotte work this, it's not really a blood feud, I don't sense that the tension has boiled over and they need to settle this once and for all. They've been put in a very almost impossible position. They can have a great match but it's a cell so the dummies at home are expecting Foley type bumps and shit. I don't need to see them try to be Foley. I think this match will be shit on and it's not their fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use the cage as a weapon in that way. Maybe a chair. I don't think the fans expect Foley bumps anymore. I'd be more worried about what Owens and Rollins are going to do and their health and safety. They'll be the ones to try something stupid because they're upset that they're in the middle of the show.

Kevin Wilson Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I have to give Shane credit for the one at the last WM, that was likely the most dangerous spot since the Foley/Taker HIAC. Very little room for error on that jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I think the narrative coming out of this will be "didn't need the cell" so I guess it'll be like every Hell in a Cell PPV ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 Just looking back on the list, the last time the feud/match "needed" the cell... I'm gonna say Taker-HHH at Mania 28. Before that, Orton-Cena in '09? Batista-HHH in '05? Lord, there are some awful Cell matches there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go2Sleep Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Ambrose/Rollins was a pretty inspired feud where the cell made sense. Unfortunately, the post-blading era and the ghost of Bray Wyatt combined to make it a rather lackluster, non-memorable affair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammo~! Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Sort of like the WM 8 Double Main Event? Where Savage/Flair was the title match but we all knew Sid/Hogan going on last was the actual main event. Or how the World Heavyweight Title used to co-main event by curtain jerking during the tail end of the first brand split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
