Give It a "Hell Yeah!" For WWE Hell In a Cell

I wasn’t too excited for this one, to tell you quite frankly since I had a feeling it wasn’t going to go the way I want it to.  But I’m glad about what happened.  I’m not just talking about the results. I’m talking about the whole thing.  It proved to be quite exciting.

So let’s start. 

The first match was the World Heavyweight Championship Hell in a Cell Match.

I was surprised that they started the show with this.  I guess they didn’t want to put the Hell in a Cell matches one after the other.

Undertaker started out early on the attack, using the cage to his advantage.  At one point he slammed Punk’s head on a support beam, it looked hard enough to hurt so it must’ve.  Then Punk got under the ring and out the other side only to kick the steel steps on Taker’s knees.  Then they took the fight back to the ring.

Punk then gets a chair which later was used against him, when Taker kicks it in his face when he came forward to hit him with it.  One Chokeslam and Tombstone Piledriver later, and we got a new champ.

It was a good match to start the show, got the audience excited.  Punk hanged with Taker good in my opinion.  I don’t suppose they’re going to stop fighting for the belt now since no one could step up for contendership among the superstars on SD yet.  Batista’s kind of busy with Rey as of now, and he is maybe the most probable choice (for them) to go for the championship.  Or maybe Kane can go for another title before he retires perhaps.  But I think they’ll stay with Punk for now.

The next match was for the Intercontinental Championship.

Morrison entered the ring first, followed by Ziggler.  Todd and JR talked a bit about his outfit while the two superstars circled each other on the ring.  They finally locked up and immediately went to the mat.  Then finally JoMo gets some ‘leg’ movement with a drop kick and a leg drop.  But Ziggler wants to keep it to the mat so he brings him down again and kept him there via head lock.

I think Ziggler said something like “All day long” while he had John on the head lock, so I guess he means they can stay like that all day long.  John got out and flew around a little bit with crossbody and dropkick until he tried the starship pain which didn’t connect.

Ziggler showed a new moves in his arsenal like the fireman takedown which he did twice.  He was impressive throughout the match.  Morrison was too but he didn’t do anything we haven’t seen him do before. 

Anyway, Morrison retained.  I think they’re going to continue with their rivalry at least for the next PPV Bragging Rights.  Maybe Ziggler can get the belt then.  But after that, if it happens, I think they should end their feud already.  It gets stale very fast for me.

Next up was for the Diva’s Championship.

Well, I kind of had expectations for this match since I read about Shane’s article on Alicia Fox.  Unfortunately, it didn’t go up to my expectation.  It wasn’t good.  It was the same old shit we see on TV weekly with the women’s matches. 

I was expecting Mickie to win, but seriously, I at least wanted to see more offense on Alicia’s part.  That bridge was actually good, but that was it.  Mickie DDT’s her and I think she fell kind of awkwardly.  The way her body flipped over was, well, disturbing.  Or maybe she just has a really long and flexible body so it looked like that.  Anyway nothing really worked for her.  It was basically lopsided in Mickie’s favor.

After that match was The Unified Tag Team Championship Match.

Show and Jericho came first, then Batista.  He didn’t do the machine gun and grenade throw motion on his entrance, instead he pointed to the ramp for Mysterio’s arrival.
