Great video. Loved this match, but my favorite HiaC is still the "End of an Era", between Taker and Triple H, with Shawn as the guest ref. That was years and years of storytelling, between 3 of my all-time favorites.

I'm sorry.... But right NOW, I can't see a BETTER wrestling youtube channel then wrestling bios. These intimate breakdown's are something that if you were a kid watching these matches like I was, these rewatches send chill's down your spine like the very first time you saw it! I may not be the biggest fan of the Monday night war series.... But THESE.... THESE are unmissable!

I was never a big HBK Fan, but I remember being seriously impressed with his Work in this Match, the sight of him layng face down in the Ring with the blood visibly spurting out of the cut on his Forehead was something you never thought you'd see in the WWF

INSTANT like before the video starts. A video about one of the most exciting times in wresting involving one of the best matches in WWE's history? Fecking fantastic content here, mate. Loved every second of it. You mentioned that its one of yer fave matches, and you can tell that your narration to this one was done with such enthusiasm, energy and interest. Everything about the big lead up to the first Hell in a Cell was amazing stuff, and this superb video is an awesome recap. Thanks for this. 👍

The logic of this match was so simple. You expected Shawn Michaels to get his ass whooped and that's exactly what happened. Yet a bloodied HBK who literally had enough energy to get a arm over his opponent, wins because of a Kane.

I remember being eighteen years and one month old watching this and being absolutely blown away. I still rank it very high on my list of all time matches. Possibly number 2 or 3.

Will this be in the collection of the Undertaker or HBK? Personally it should be in both in my opinion.

I am not sure if what you said about how the two interacted during the fight (HBK turning from cocky to scared, Taker acting like a lion chasing his prey and feeding off the fear, etc) was detailed somewhere or it is your account based on your research of the match, but damn dude you are spot on. Amazing video.

I was there in St. Louis that night. I was 13 at the time and I spent most of the match with my mouth open in shock. That Michaels bump from the top of the cage looked sick live. My friend and I thought they were going to stop the match. And when Kane debuted, I don't know if I can put that into words. Just seeing ANYONE manhandle Undertaker the way Undertaker had manhandled every opponent he had faced was... I'm trying to think of another word besides surreal but that really describes it.
