With WWE headed towards the next Hell In A Cell event, Chris King looks back at one of the most chaotic: 6-men inside the Cell at WWE Armageddon 2000!

Over the past week, I’ve gone back and watched some of the most critically acclaimed Hell in a Cell matches of all time. Some of the greatest rivalries were settled inside the demonic structure such as Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte, The Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar, and “The Tribal Chief” Roman Reigns vs. Jey Uso, but one match stood out the most to me, it was a colossal six-man Hell in a Cell match at Armageddon 2000.

This was not only the wildest but also the most massive cell matches of all time. At the last pay-per-view of 2000, the WWE Universe watched Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, HHH, Kurt Angle, The Undertaker, and Rikishi beat the holy hell out of each other all for the richest prize in professional wrestling, the WWE Championship. The reason why this match was so important to me, was because at this time all of these superstars were main-event caliber talent.

During the Helmsley-McMahon era, we saw HHH ascend in the company with impressive wins over the likes of The Rock, Mick Foley, and a plethora of other superstars. We also saw the evil formation with Rikishi and HHH masterfully take out Stone Cold with a car. During this year, The Undertaker also traded his robe and eerie music for a motorcycle and an American Badass gimmick.

Kurt Angle was the current champion walking into Hell in a Cell, while all the other superstars were gunning for him. From the moment the bell rang, it was an all-out brawl between the melee of top-tier superstars. I’ve witnessed so many fantastic and chaotic matches labeled as a car crash but this one puts them all to shame. It was thirty-plus minutes of nothing but carnage and the WWE Universe was red hot for this cell match and rightfully so. One of the absolute highlights of the match saw Undertaker chokeslam Rikishi off the top of the cell onto a truck bed of hay. The big Samoan’s body made a loud thud as it hit the truck.

The ending was chaotic as HHH, Stone Cold, and The Rock were trading each other’s finishers. The Rock hit the Rock Bottom on Angle but the pinfall was broken up. Stone Cold hit the Stunner on The Rock but HHH broke it up. HHH delivered a spinebuster and neckbreaker on Stone Cold but Angle stole the pinfall to retain his title. This was the first and only time WWE would book to have many superstars inside the structure, and it made sense. There was way too much action to follow between all the superstars, but it is underrated.

As the road to Hell in a Cell continues to move forward, I strongly urge you to go back and rewatch this massive gem. Yes, it’s one of the craziest cell matches in history, but with all the star-studded talent involved it worked perfectly in my opinion.

The Big Five Project returns to usher in what can best be described as a challenging year for WWE. We begin our coverage of 1995 with Royal Rumble ’95. Unlike many PPVs in 1995, the Royal Rumble was quite good, particularly the undercard. On that undercard, new WWF Tag Champs and a new IC Champion were crowned. We also got the middle match of an epic trilogy of battles between Bret “Hitman” Hart and “Big Daddy Cool” Diesel, and their match at the 1995 Royal Rumble, with the WWF Championship on the line, might very well be the best of the three. As for the Rumble match itself, it is certainly not without its issues. But history is made on this night as Shawn Michaels becomes the first entrant in Rumble history to go wire-to-wire, winning it all from the #1 position, and also evolving one of the most critical concepts in Rumble matches moving forward. Curious? Good because we have all the details for you on another epic installment of the Big Five Project.

Attitude Of Aggression #299- The Big Five Project: Survivor Series ’94

The Big Five Project is back for Survivor Series’ 94, featuring Bob Backlund’s shocking victory over Bret Hart, plus Undertaker’s revenge!

The Big Five Project returns to bring 1994 to an end as the guys cover Survivor Series ’94. As 1994 came to an end, the winds of change continued to sweep through the WWF and that was highly evident on a November evening in San Antonio. A better event than the year before, Survivor Series ’94 featured the break-up of Shawn Michaels and Diesel, a feud that would extend all the way to WrestleMania XI. Meanwhile, Survivor Series ’94 would see a shocking WWF Championship title change as Bob Backlund, with a huge assist from Owen Hart, would dethrone Bret “Hitman” Hart in an unforgettable, emotionally charged, and highly controversial match. Thanks to Bret’s mother, Mr. Backlund became the oldest WWF Champion in history (at the time) and Owen Hart showed us all just how low he would stoop to screw his brother over. Add in some solid Survivor Series matches, a special appearance by Chuck Norris, and The Undertaker exacting a measure of revenge against Yokozuna and we are left with a very solid PPV to close out 1994! We have all the details for you here, on another epic installment of the Big Five Project.
