WWE Hell in a Cell PPV Reax #3: "This show was a massive train wreck that didn’t seem to have any flow to it." Oct 5, 2009 - 4:19:59 PM
***image1***Walter Reed: Is it me, or did I see this pay-per-view twice in the last month? After No Way Out bookended with Elimination Chamber matches, I figures that's how Hell in the Cell would go. The thing I didn't see coming was having Undertaker vs. Punk start when they main event the last one and having Da old X vs. Priceless... uh Legacy main event. Where does Orton vs. Cena go now? And please for the love of Vince, don't let them have an ironman match. Don't think I could sit through a 30 minute chinlock. And final note, Rey and Y2J must be booked in a match with each other at every PPV. It's been magic all four times this year. Best match tonight was Rey & Batista vs. JeriShow with Morrison vs. Billy Gunn 2.0 a close second.
Jonathan Hedman (3.0): Best Match: Randy Orton vs. John Cena. Worst Match: Mickie James vs. Alicia Fox. Hell in a cell was more like Hell to watch. This show was a massive train wreck that didn’t seem to have any flow to it. It was a rollercoaster ride that made me sick to watch. It was a huge mistake to have three matches be Hell in a Cell and a bigger mistake to have them spread out like they did. I will wait until I see how the angles play out before I pass judgment on the booking.
