HBK vs. Taker from Bad Blood 97 is amazing, as is Lesnar vs. Taker from No Mercy 2002.

I have fond memories of Jericho vs. HHH from Judgement Day 2002, but I haven't re-watched it since the PPV aired.

I actually liked both Punjabi Prison matches. They had a fun ruleset that made sense and the cage looked cool.

However it probably looked like poo poo live.

In addition to most of the classics already named (Bad Blood 97, KOTR 98, No Way Out 2000, Lesnar v. Undertaker, Edge v. Undertaker, HHH v. Undertaker), the six way at Armageddon 2000 is very entertaining, Batista v. HHH at Vengeance 2005 and Batista v. Undertaker at Survivor Series 2007 are both good and some of Batista's best matches.

Triple H vs Cactus Jack from No Way Out 2000. it's not as good as their hardcore match at Royal Rumble but I think it's one of the top Hell in a Cell matches.

I had a really hard time enjoying Hell in a Cell matches when I was younger, because stupid Mick Foley set the bar so high. I was expecting guys like HHH or Jericho to go flying off the top too, and was disappointed with anything that wasn't that crazy.

I liked the parts of the match I could see through that ridiculous cage. It's up there with TNA's electrified cage for bad ideas though.

I haven't seen this match probably since it first aired, so I forget how the gently caress they explained why a pick-up truck full of hay was at ringside other thank to provide a safe place for Rikishi to fall.

McMahon drives it in trying to tear down the cell and stop the match (because putting 6 top stars in the cell is TOO dangerous) before foley has security remove him.

Vince brought it down to the ring mid-match. The whole buildup was that he did not want the match to happen, he thought it would hurt his precious superstars. So he brought the truck down to try and rip the door off the cage and set them free!

Or something like that.

Vince was against the whoel idea because it would injure all his top starts so he brought the truck out in an attempt to pull down the cage.


To pull down the cage on top of the 6 stars he was trying to protect.

Hell in a Cell with Foley and HHH would've been such a great way for Mick to go out. My friends and I were devastated when he lost. drat shame Mick came back a month later for one of the worst main events in Wrestlemania history.

No, but I was watching Summerslam 1992 from Wembley, and a little kid tells the camera that The British Bulldog is going to win "whether he wants to or not". Exposing the business :bahgawd:

What were they thinking with the Livewire idea? I remember it seemed like every episode I watched as a kid they were always getting pissy and snippy with the callers and questions. Maybe it didn't happen that often cause I'm going by distant memory but I want to say it did. What did they want people to call and ask them? Might as well have just scripted the whole thing.

No that was WWF Mania hosted by Todd Pettengill which aired on Saturday mornings. They eventually scrapped that and it became Livewire where they took people's calls. It's the show that JR thing on this page is from.

Byte This was a web show and I guess they did that too but I wasn't watching for most of when this show aired so I don't really have a great idea how it went.

LiveWire also eventually became a recap show hosted by Michael Cole. It was the only way I got to see what was on Smackdown in 2000 because I didn't get UPN.

That makes sense then. I stopped watching around 99 for a multitude of reasons and my interest in wrestling had been waning for a while so I never saw it transition into a recap show.

The Goldberg episode of Monday Night War was fascinating, as someone who knew almost nothing about him except that he looked like Stone Cold sorta. Holy poo poo, had no idea that him losing the streak immediately led into the Fingerpoke of Doom. And Raw was having Foley win on the same god drat night? All so they could make NWO be the focal point of WCW again? Yeesh. WCW really was good at loving everything up.
