In my opinion, no cage match has ever topped that ‘98 Taker v Foley bout. Any match where a guy takes a bump so hard he literally sneezes out a tooth is hard to beat.
That wasn't a sneeze, it went through his fucking lip.
Matrim42 taker and Vince were concerned that foley might actually die during that match, a valid concern since a fall like both of the ones that foley took could’ve killed most other people
@Devyn Leighton you stole that car crash comment from Undertaker. He said those exact words about 2 car crashes in a different video about that match.
If you're rating a wrestling match and not someone's "courageousness" then there have been much better ones before and since. The accident and a few other spots saved it from being a total stinker.
@@EverythingCriminal you do know what a coincidence is right.
My #1 is Mankind vs The Undertaker. I watched that match live in audience when I was 12 years old. My dad was with me that night, although he was never a wrestling fan, the moment Mankind was thrown off the cell my dad’s jaw dropped. This moment made a non wrestling fan such as my dad get up off the edge of his seat. It was a thriller. That moment had my dad tuned into wrestling each day since it was our new bonding moment.
what an epic story lol I can imagine his face like being a kid again :D
My 12 year old self and my dad were there as well. What a moment. Cheers brother
it wasnt really a match though, just two big bumps and a lot of nothing happening
@@hayatojin2886 it’s pro wrestling..a circus sideshow…stop trying to overthink it
I will never forgive Michael Cole for screaming “For the Love of Mankind” while visibly reading it off of a paper.
I still think Mankind VS Undertaker should be number 1 🤷🏻♂️
For real
How about hhh vs Foley? 2 maybe
1998 HIAC Undertaker vs Mandkind is the GREATEST HIAC Match EVER !
Sheldon Passley same here
Without a doubt. The most brutal match in wwf/wwe history
Hard to imagine anything with Foley, Austin, Kane and Undertaker could be the worst of anything.
It's like they ignored the awfulness of Sheamus vs Orton
The crowd was still very hyped though. People loved how spontaneous it was.
And for it to happen on a regular scheduled Raw show !! You won't ever get that again
@@717jeezy This didn't age well
Honestly, I think it's a fun match. Fast paced spot fest with a few big moves/moments and a fun finish. I don't think the finish is bad considering it's on raw and wasn't supposed to end the feud but was still somewhat warranted. Plus the story was interesting going in, tag team champions that hate each other enough to fight in that match and the involvement of the undertaker and Stone cold, I think it was a very well done raw mainevent
in my gm mode of smackdown vs raw 2006 Scotty 2 Hotty managed to outlast The Undertaker, Randy Orton, Kurt Angle, Rey Mysterio and Muhammad Hassan. It is still the greatest spectacle i have ever seen. Undertaker was so keen on destroying the evil Randy Orton while Rey refused to tap to the ankle lock. Scotty 2 Hotty a mega heel at the time won with a low blow in front of then world champion Rey Mysterio by pinning Hassan. Scotty's popularity shot up from like 72 (that was in game months of work) to 81 as he was a duel Cruiserweight and Heavyweight Champion. It is the best cell match i've ever witnessed. Rey was then put on on a 14 week long injury and came back one week before the rumble. Naturally I booked him to win and finally get his title back from Scotty 2 Hotty at WrestleMania. Greatest win ever.
That is some damn fine booking sir.
lol sounds awesome. wwe could never honestly
Damn that was a rollercoaster
Holy hell
A real Barn Burner - before the games turned to shit. Like, why is it so fucking hard for the people behind the games to make a satisfying career mode? For fucks sake. My favorite is either 2008 or 2009, whichever one had the ECW stuff and the ability to choose your weapon under the ring and take a huge dive from the scaffolding.
#1: Taker/Mankind
#2: Taker/Michaels
#3: Taker/HHH
Taker/Orton isnt even on the list !
@@kellgriffin7007 yea it is Michael's vs hhh isn't
Jim Maloney hey what about fiend/Rollins.
Just me. OK
Taker vs edge
@@sportsfaniguess154 that match isn’t even considered top 10 let alone top 3. Like literally watch any HIAC ppv match from the attitude era and the come back🤦🏼♂️ like deadass had the worst ending in HIAC history imo like how you finna let the referee stop the match in a anything goes no DQ sadistic match. The ending goes against anything HIAC is
Triple H vs Cactus Jack is the most underrated rivalry in WWE history!
Fukken preach!
BestBrawlerAU/NZ you forgot Edge vs John Cena’s dad
totally, that feud helped to put Triple H's stamp on the wrestling map
i mean.. it helped him a lot
O G - The royal rumble street fight was incredible, the HIAC matched it!
The match so nice they booked it twice!
It's 2019 and I think there's a new candidate for the worst hell in a cell match ever
Came back just to see if someone mentioned it, you’ve done good work today
It isn’t that bad, god people won’t stop hating that hell in a cell match.
Sad thing is the Woman's cell match 2019 was really good, and then the Men's match was a joke.
No FUCKING doubt
Creeping Deathtide it wasn’t a dq, it was Referee stoppage
no better way to start your saturday then by watching a ranked video
The Poke Mart a ranked video made by Adam from cultaholic
Than?
there are MANY other better ways to start your saturday
HBK vs taker is the greatest hell in a cell match but mankind vs taker was one hell of a spectacle
Taker vs Mankind , Iconic Match
*That Hell in a cell with Stone cold, Kurt Angle, Taker, The Rock, Rikishi & that other guy was truly amazing. A lot of the fighting took place outside the cell 🥴 but STILL such a great match. My favorite still in 2023.*
You forgot about triple H lmao
My personal favourite was the End of an Era match. Brutal action from 2 legends and brilliant storytelling from all 3 men involved.
My favorite HIAC was the 6-Men match. I love multiple men/women matches there the best.
That's nothing to me Mine Is Mick Foley Vs Triple H
Tbh it wasnt good in terms of hell in a cell. They hardly used the damn thing lol
I was there for Cactus Jack vs Triple H at No Way Out in 2000. Being only seven at the time and a huge fan of Mick Foley, I remember screaming and crying during this match when Mick was being brutalized by Triple H. So if you watch this match and hear a child screaming, it's probably me.
Things I learned from this list.
1. Rusev and Roman Reigns once had a Hell in a Cell match for the US Title (Completely blanked from my memory so I can only assume it was bad)
2. The HIAC match I remember being the worst as a kid is the match at the bottom of this list. And
3. Randy Orton has been in a lot more HIAC matches then I remember he must be at the point where he's had almost as many as HHH and Undertaker by now with another one approaching against Jeff Hardy.
The Rusev one actually wasnt bad... until you know, Roman powered out of the coolest visual we've seen in years like it was a headlock and put rusev away pretty much straight after lol
Randy's been in 6, third most ever behind Triple H (9) and Undertaker (14).
Yup. Never forget watching HHH vs Cactus Jack in the early hours of a Sunday morning. The build up to the fight weeks before was exceptional. The match was the icing on the cake and totally delivered. Probably the greatest send off for a wrestler.
"Word on the street is that Hell is a bad place"
First 5 seconds of the video and I'm already confused
AnvilPro100 basically no matter what street you’re on there are the words “hell is a bad place” written somewhere
That's literally the most literal way to interpret that.
Nathan Greenaway Lmaoo not even close to what he meant
Bon Scott and AC/DC might disagree - Hell ain't a bad place to be 🤘😎😈
I'm assuming this list was made BEFORE Rollins vs the Fiend. I've made it halfway through and still haven't seen it. The only possible explanation being that the match didn't happen yet.
The Undertaker vs Mankind Hell In A cell Is the best
It did not get five stars
I think the two participants would beg to differ with you but to each their own. Foley even said on multiple occasions that it was a smoke show to make you think you’d seen a good match even though you hadn’t.
I remember when a Hell in a Cell match was the biggest deal ever, and you could count on one hand how many there had been, same with TLC. They both had such a mystique around them, they were only saved for the most intense feuds or the biggest stage. I think turning them into a yearly PPV has completely sucked the mystique out of them both and now they don't feel special anymore at all, You know one will happen each year at the same time, and the feuds never match the stipulation. Easily one of the biggest mistakes the company ever made.
Love these LONG lists, want more
Taker vs Edge at Summerslam ‘08 is definitely my favorite Cell match of all time! Not only was it the first HIAC match I ever saw and also has two of my top 5 all time favorites in it, but it’s an absolute barn burner every time you watch it! I rewatched it for the first time in a few years the other day and it’s STILL so good!
When I saw this on my feed I was like “Yes! It’s by Cultaholic not WC!”
Both are shit. were all Adam fans if were bein honest
That a major L
Mike Fantasia Then why are you here
Brock and Undertaker from 2002 will always be my favorite. Both men were at their best and the violence was off the charts.
The most underrated HIAC match of all time.
Undertaker was at his best between 97-01
Agreed
Most Memorable my most : Undertaker/Mankind and Undertaker/Triple H
The Best Hell in A Cell Match Overall : Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels (Bad Blood 97) IMO
Here's My Top 10 HIAC Matches:
10. Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar (Hell in A Cell 2015)
9. Undertaker vs. Triple H (WrestleMania XXVIII)
8. Undertaker vs. Edge (Summerslam 2008)
7. DX vs. The McMahons & Big Show (Unforgiven 2006)
6. Batista vs. Triple H (Vengeance 2005)
5. Armageddon Hell in A Cell (Armageddon 2000)
4. Brock Lesnar vs. Undertaker (No Mercy 2002)
3. Cactus Jack vs. Triple H (No Way Out 2000)
2. Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels (Bad Blood 1997)
1. Undertaker vs. Mankind (King of The Ring 1998)
Solid list, my dude!
Where the hell is 6 man hell in a cell armageddon???
@@DenisK-xw7iv It's on there!
Ok sorry i don t see it before:))
I love your top 5 better. Your # 1 & 2 is my exact # 1 & 2 as well!!!
When your realize when Mankind vs Undertaker 1998 was number 3...😑
The Henny God JR Swish when it should’ve been 1, foley actually came close enough to dying that undertaker was worried
I really liked Nash vs HHH. Probably in my Top 10 Hell in a Cell-Matches.
That's an awesome match
Brutal
Watched it for the 1st time a couple weeks ago, and I agree
Definitely underrated
Me too
Hell in a cell as a dark match? Damn, bet that was a hell of a show, moneys worth for sure
Nah. Supposedly it lasted just a lil over 5mins
Julio Ornano I believe it took place after Raw went off the air
It was only 6 minutes
Julio Ornano WTF? That was a waste of Metal, Work, n Time
I went to a house show at msg in late 2016. Dean Ambrose vs at styles vs John cena. And there was a steep cafe with the miz and someone else
Tragedy is actually a song by The Bee Gees Adam, steps did cover it though.
... which makes it, the REAL tragedy.
How you finna put that 6man HIAC under Sasha vs Charlotte?!?! That 6man match was crazy asf with quite a few big moments. It’s the most underrated Cell match in my opinion
Bloody hell 30 minutes of cultaholic and 30 minutes of hearing Adams voice. Thank you very much I’ll take ten
Felt for sure #2 and #1 would be foregone conclusions (just a question of which one would take the nod), so was pleasantly surprised to be wrong; made watching the closing stretch much more interesting.
IDK man i think undertaker v HBK should've been #2 at least
Joker 7346 I had that as my #2 behind Taker & Mankind from KOTR 98!!!
On what planet? LOL. Taker is my all time fav but Mankind vs. Taker shouldn’t be #1. It was barely even a match. It was spotfest. Taker and Michaels told a legit story, then the debut of Kane was sensational
Good vid. Well researched. Thanks boys
Love your uploads man. the fact that they are all not 10 min long is great.
I actually liked Batista vs Undertaker HiaC match a lot. the ending while being with interference was actually done brilliantly. Batista and Taker went full out, Edge being a cameraman in the match was also a nice surprise considering he was injured and this was his return, which sparked one of the best 3 man rivalries in wwe.
The Batista x Undertaker rivalry was one of the best of 2007 for sure.
BULLCRAP UNDERTAKER VS MANKIND SHOULD HAVE BEEN NUMBER 1!!!!!!!!
nah Triple H vs Cactus Jack was way better. It's one of the greatest, underrated feuds of all time.
There’s a reason why everyone remembers taker vs mankind
@@BakerZone760 It's not because of the quality. It's because of one crazy bump
@John Lorton So? I watched that match multiples times. But he asked why people remember this match. People remember it because of Mankind going through a table. More people have just seen the toss through the table than have sat through the entire match.
@@lucaslonchampt613 No.
One crazy bump plus Mankind rushed onto top of cell with real damage and then gets second bump continuing with at least several slams, thumbtack and absolute struggle.
That Armageddon 6 Man Hell In A Cell match is how you truely introduce Anarchy in WWE! Man that match was off the wall chaotic and for a lack of better term Adam, "A Total Car Crash in a Good Way!"
New day vs the usos inside hell in a cell
I have seen this match so many times
I also watched it again yesterday
The six man match should be in the top five
Actually the Armageddon Hell in a Cell match was one of my favorites
I gotta say on this rewatch, I forgot how much I loved DX vs McMahons and Big Show and DX vs Legacy. This is a reminder of how much we forget that these 2 are HIAC Legends.
I truly am happy they made the #10 spot on this list
Absolutely, Adam. Lists never get old!!
Jack Swagger Debut was something special, sadly he now corporate swagger and running for mayor
THAT'S GOTTA BE SWAGGER! THAT'S GOTTA BE SWAGGER!
He’s fighting in bellator
12:28 "We're not huge fans of hell in a cell matches with cheap endings... BRAY" This line need not be changed lol
It's always a good day when cultaholic makes a list
Great effort to these videos
And funny enough, as great as number 1 was, imagine how much more important it would have seemed if it truly was Mick Foleys last match.
The fact that Undertaker vs. Mankind wasn’t No. 1 on this list automatically deads this list smh
How was is the best though it was a match set around two big bumps
@@liamroyce5958 ... your point? Those were two of the greatest bumps ever. Two of the most iconic. Two falls that made even non-wrestling fans stand up, tune in and go "HOLY SHIT! That's impressive". In one match. Who gives a rats ass whether the rest of the match wasn't at the highest level? No other match on the list came anywhere near having that kind of impact.
15:03 Side note: Cowboy Bob Orton had Hepatitis C, a disease that is blood-borne, but you could count the number of people on one hand who knew about it, Bob included, let alone Undertaker. It was after the match was over that the news came out about Bob's HepC and Taker was witnessed being absolutely livid about the situation.
Taker/Mankind was the best on. yeah it may have lost in some of technical aspects to others, but it was such a memorable spectacle that its simply impossible to forget.
I'm sorry but after seeing hbk v taker at 7 I lost interest. That match isn't just the best hiac it's top ten all time
True maybe even Top 5
Do TLC when that ppvs come around.
I'm rather surprised that the match between The Big Boss Man & The Undertaker from 'WWF WrestleMania 15' wasn't ranked at either #38, or, #37...
You even manage to make long videos hilarious yet credible
Huh...you know, when you lay out all the cards for HiaC together like that a pattern emerges. HiaC = a cage + Taker and/or Triple H and/or Foley
I think I know a new Hell In A Cell match that takes over that "worst" title.
Half an hour of cultaholic is an my early christmas present
Would've loved to know where Jeff Hardy vs Randy Orton would rank here and what you have to say about it.
That shawn michaels triple h ranking is a travesty
Taker v mankind. Easy #1. Not only because of the superstars but the amazing commentary
I had to like, follow and subscribed, I came up in the attitude era!!!
Do a video when the hurricane pinned the rock on raw
I was 8 years old
The rock was my hero and I couldn’t sleep that night because of it
My Top 3:
1. Brock Lesnar vs Undertaker (No Mercy 2002)
2. Undertaker vs Mankind (King of the Ring 1998)
3. The Armageddon Six Way
Honorable Mention: Batista vs Triple H (Vengeance 2005)
Great list.
IMHO Bad Blood 2004 should be waaaaay higher on the list. It was even my favorite match for a short period of time.
The match was brutal, intense, emotional. It had huuuge storytelling background - two year rivalry between two former best friends.
And OH MY GOD, that camera shot, where HBK has ladder on his shoulder and he smiles maniacally, while his whole face is covered in blood. Time is the only minus of that encounter.
HBK VS UNDERTAKER is number in my book. While I'm disappointed you didn't have it as number one I was impressed and pleased you had Lesnar vs Taker from 2002 in your top five because I remember watching it live and it was brutal!
(pops in from behind the corner)
Tragedy was actually by the Bee Gees.
(sheepishly returns around the corner)
Oh boy... imagine this list in 2019
I remember seeing Taker vs Edge live. Such a good show.
I’m fairly sure that Cole’s “for the love of mankind!” line would have sat better if he wasn’t looking directly at his script when he said it.
Me and my friend were playing a 6 man hell in a cell match in smackdown vs raw and all 6 of us were on top of the cell in the center and when my friend rock bottomed me we all fell through the cell and were knocked out 😂 It's to this day the greatest cell spot I've ever seen
Charlotte vs sasha banks should be way down the list ,they don't get a pass just because they r women
prj 789 for real tho, it honestly wasn't that great despite the caliber of the matches those two had against each other
Dennis Crosby no u
right dude i don't even consider that a cell match
I get the whole woman's revolution shit and gender equality but come on !!! Wamen don't belong in the cell !! They just don't . Just like men don't belong in bra n panty match ..
@@717jeezy oi thats a disrespect to men that want to fight a bikini match
I was at the Judgement Day Hell in a Cell with Jericho vs. HHH. The whole PPV was pretty good. I liked the match
my all time favorite is Lesnar vs undertaker
edit: the first one
HHH Vs HBK Should Definitely Be Top 10 Its The Longest Cell Match. It Acutally Represents The Concept Of The Match. Both Wrestlers Were Battered And Bruised. And Both Wrestlers Performed Great Spots
It's a boring fucking match after the first half hour. Nothing but move-----rest------move, where laying on the mat is supposed to represent drama.
As someone who actually was at that match, I was bored as hell for most of it
@@Fixxer315 they did some insane bumps don’t think it was boring but yeah it did lack something
Funny how most of the matches include undertaker
must take a lot of time making these great entertaining videos high regards towards adam pacciti !!!!
Love the video
I've been waiting for this with more envy than Jack loves taking the bus
Takers vs Mankind #3?!? the first one #7? I used to respect your opinions on things.....
ADbarnyard90 Taker vs Mankind from KOTR 98 (#1) and HBK vs Taker from Bad Blood 97 (#2) are my top 2. I also don’t think the HIAC matches from the 1998 Raws should be in the bottom 2 as well. They were great TV moments to further angles!!!
Tbf, Taker v Mankind wasn't the greatest technical classic. Agree it had some of the most iconic moments in WWE history, but ring-work must factor in somewhere too right?
@@tapan97 so in that case shouldn't taker vs michaels or the end of an era be on the top of the list? But still I respect their opinion though
@@Shark_rooster Taker v Michaels is actually on the top of many (including mine) lists. It ranks much above End of an Era imo, but yes that was a great match too.
@Pepe Sylvia your are taking your subjective opinion and imposing it as fact. Technical sound in ring work "went out of the window" for YOU personally, and honestly, that's fine. But it still matters to a lot of people even inside HIAC. Also, matches can always be brutal and ugly AND be pure wrestling artworks. Look at Triple H v Cactus Jack HIAC. Bad Blood 1997 had it's fair share of brutality too.
30 minutes of pure joy.
I was waiting for this list for 3 days now. The next worst to best should be all the Survivor Series matches and then after that all the TLC matches
Rollins vs Wyatt 2019. New worst
No it Seth Rollins vs The Fiend.
We don't boo Roman Reigns because he wins a lot. He doesn't. He gets beat up a lot. We boo Roman Reigns because he's outrageously overbooked. Anything to get him over. Bury whoever. He's in need of a repackaging but he's decent enough in the ring.
Why the explanation? That has already been established.
You're using "bury" wrong
The 6 way at Armageddon will always be the most lit
HBK in the first one was the best one. HE made that match have EVERYTHING
Youve gotta have foley vs taker at number 1
Thats law
imo
Good vid.
Btw: hell is worse than a bad place and the only available music is "The Best of Cher".
imo
by all means, do then...but hell won't have any for you
For a second there I forgot that Mark Henry was in a Hell in a Cell Match
Well done for this Ranking Video. I loved it. 😘😁
Not specifically mentioning Seth's crazy feat of strength when he essentially lifted a dead weight Owens into powerbomb position is downright sinful.
How is Edge vs Taker not in the top 3 ?
Ikr.
Its called an opinion
@@sebastianraphaelbiggs127 It's almost a fact here
Look at the ones ahead of that match,it was just as good but was it better than 1 or 2 honestly
Number 37: **Shows Undertaker and Steve Austin vs Mankind and Kane**
Hell in a Cell (Wyatt vs Rollins): Hold my beer, pal!
I definitely agree with the top 3, and with #1.
Good list.
You put the best match in wwf history 8th. Wow
Jeff’s gonna swaton off the cell and miss the table and end up dying watch
It's so scary and eerie cause I don't want to think that but I see it every dam time I think of the match!
My Top 5 favourite hell in a cell match my opinion
5. Shawn Michaels vs triple h
4. Cactus Jack vs triple h
3. Undertaker vs brock Lesnar 2002
2. Undertaker vs mankind
1. Undertaker vs kurt angle vs stone cold vs the rock vs triple h vs rikishi
The defeat in Adam's voice at the end, having to rank 37 matches... Oh you sweet innocent man. You have no idea what's coming
Worst match: THE FIEND VS Seth Rollins
