If Randy is going to keep that belt, I'd love to see him do it with a good string of credible, fair-and-square victories. |
It was such a good match because both guys went hardcore and to the extreme. Usually it's only/mostly Cactus doing his thing and selling when it comes to barbwire and/or thumbtacks. But this time, so did Orton. That countered RKO, swinging Orton onto the tacks! That was for me the best part of the match. In the times before that I saw tacks used in a WWE match, it was always Foley hitting them (vs Taker and vs HHH). But now finally, it was someone else for once! Great performance by Orton and deserved win.
He's in cruise control heading towards a world title shot, it's very obvious!

Did anyone notice, by the way, that this is the second straight year Bad Blood will feature a Hell in a Cell match? This one will not be the main event and will not involve a title. But I'm positive this one will be better and MUCH more interesting than the one that took place last year between Triple H and Kevin Nash. Foley's involvement made that match more than Triple H and Nash did. |
Yes, last year's HIAC wasn't too great at all. Yet for me, it was the best match in the HHH/Nash feud, should say enough ...

HHH and HBK are going to tear it up at Bad Blood. I can't wait! This is only Michaels's second Hell in a Cell. It's been nearly 7 years since he's been in one. He was in the first Hell in a Cell ever (coincidentally, at the first Badd Blood ever). Talk about coming full circle. Of course, he is 1-0, having defeated Undertaker in that match. |
Yes, absolutely right! I always love it when a HIAC match is held at a ppv
and when it's not even the absolute main event! You get like the spectacular (and this one surely will be!!) HIAC and then it's not over yet, cause then you still get an even 'bigger' match where the odds are even more important!
Yes the
first Bad(d?) Blood ppv held the
first HIAC. HBK defeated the Undertaker with the help of Kane, who made his debut at the PPV as WWE wrestler. And now 7 years later Kane is back at Bad Blood and he even gets a title shot, while it's again HBK in a HIAC match!
Would this history have anything to do with the fact that both the HBK/HHH HIAC match and the Kane/Benoit title match fall together at
Bad Blood ppv??

I'd like to see HBK taking the win, but I'm not sure ... HHH has some record in HIAC
and he's part of a heel faction, HBK isn't!
Nevertheless, it's going to be a fantastic match, at least I hope so
