Moments - Positives
The first ever Hell In A Cell match was truly magnificent! It was to the Attitude era what the Ladder match was to the New Generation. It was a straight 10/10 match and I firmly believe it was the best Hell In A Cell match of all time. The debut of Kane only added to the excitement and it was very well built up and very well done. HBK showed he was one of the best of all time. Austin's commentary during the IC title match and subsequent interference was also a classic and this was the first time Rocky Maiavia was a heel at a PPV as part of the Nation. He truly looked the part!

Moments - Negatives
Once again we have a midget wrestling match which was just awful and I dont quite understand why McMahon allowed the PPV to be brought down by it! The rest of the card was too focused on tag matches which made the PPV a bit repetitive and boring. The flag match was quite entertaining but once again The Patriot showed he should not play with the big boys!

Overall Summary
This PPV is worth the watch for the best Hell in a Cell match in WWF history. Thats all I have to say. If you havent seen this match then watch this event and witness history! Its a timeless classic that is as good now as it was back then!

SCORE = 8.5
