Hell In A Cell 2011 Review

Hell In A Cell 2011 Review : First Triple Threat Cell Match


God i love hell in a cell matches , but i hate the PG style ones . In my opinion , they should take away this whole event until they decide to take away the PG . Nothing from these cell matches will be able to follow the match between Taker and HHH at Wrestlemania this year and they shouldn't try .

Well with that out of the way , let's go !

The video package shows the perspective of the cell . If it could talk , I'm sure it would have told Foley to be  careful 14 years ago .

Sheamus vs Christian 
Nice to see these guys open the show . Don't think it'll be as good as the opener the year before but we'll get to that another time . Miz and R-Truth sit in the audience , but are kicked out . If this is confusing any of you , they were fired I believe a couple of weeks beforehand . This is strength vs sneakiness here . Nice back and forth action in this one . This match was thoroughly entertaining the whole way through . Sheamus gets the three count with a brogue kick . ***1/2

Sin Cara vs Sin Cara
It's too bad the fans weren't really into this one , as I found it to be quite enjoyable . The ' boring ' chants didn't help it . This match was filled with high-flying moves . The good Sin Cara wins with a type of sunset flip . **1/4

Airboom vs Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger 
Tag titles on the line here . If Vengeance was any indication , this should be a great match with the four great athletes that are in it . I hope Evan comes back soon , as he and Kofi made a great team . I think the fans could've been better here as they seemed pretty dead . This has been a little disappointing so far . Still good , but not as good as the match from the following month . Evan picks up the win after a frankensteiner from the top rope . ***

WWE can you please stop making bad movies ?? It's bad enough hollywood is giving us crap .

The cell is now being lowered for our first cell match .

Mark Henry vs Randy Orton : Hell In A Cell
At the time , I was so sure that Orton was going to win because I thought that there was no way Henry was going to have a long reign . I thought it was just a little thanks for sticking around for 15 years . I guess I , along with others , were proven wrong by Henry and the WWE . Mark actually kicked out of the RKO ! Really rare situation there . Mark wins with the worlds strongest slam . Really solid match there . **3/4

After the match , Henry tries to injure Orton's leg with a steel chair , but Orton moves out of the way and hits Henry with the chair and chases him down the aisle .

Cody Rhodes comes out to give us one of the greatest moments of 2011 . He changes the IC Title into the classic one held by many greats like Bret Hart , Shawn Michaels and Randy Savage . This gets quite a big cheer out of the audience . Big Johnny comes out to announce that Cody will be defending his new title .

Cody Rhodes vs John Morrison
Cody has to wrestle in his suit which doesn't seem fair to me . Crowd isn't really into the match , but they've been like that all night . This just doesn't look right with Cody in his clothes . Cody wins with a roll through .
*1/2

Kelly Kelly vs Beth Phoenix 
This was actually a really good match between these two , although i do expect that out of Beth . Beth becomes the new champ after a glam slam . **1/4

John Cena vs CM Punk vs Alberto Del Rio : Hell In A Cell
Here we are , the main event and the first triple threat inside of the cell . Thank god for this match , otherwise the PPV would have been a bust . I thought this was an amazing match and had no idea who the winner was gonna be . Del Rio picks up the win and the WWE Championship after hitting Punk with a pipe . Great stuff ! ***3/4

After the match , two hooded thugs attack everyone inside of the cell as the cell lowers . These two turn out to be Miz and R-Truth . The whole locker room comes out to try and help but they can't get in . They are arrested by the police and that's the end of the show .

5/10 . Wow this wasn't too good outside of the opener and the main event . It's also worth seeing for the unveiling of the classic IC Title . Not much else though .
