Moments - Positives
The main event was fantastic. Simply excellent and with the Iron Man Match at Judgment Day was certainly my favourite of 2000. Its funny but this match does not get mentioned much in the history of Hell In a Cell matches but it was excellent. It lasted nearly 40 minutes and it was door to door bloody action. The storylines leading up to the match were brilliant and I loved Angle overcoming the odds and retaining the belt. The whole PPV was made by this one match. I also enjoyed the Lita/Malenko storyline for the opener, it was a brilliant feud. The Kane/Jericho match finally delivered and ended their feud in a great fashion, its a very underrated match which again should be up there with one of the best Kane and Jericho matches.
Moments - Negatives
To be honest there were not many negatives. The card was solid and average at times but you soon forget about the rest of the card once you see the main event. I dont like being one to give a PPV a high rating just because of one or two matches but I feel strongly with this one.
Overall
A solid event, average at times but with two excellent matches (Jericho/Kane, HIAC). The main event delivered beyond any hype and perhaps is a forgotten match because of the fact that it was not overhyped and not over advertised. Watch this event and trust me you will not be disappointed.
SCORE = 8.5
