As of October 28, 2014, World Wrestling Entertainment is a great corporation, but a terrible profession wrestling company. Thus, the WWE Hell In A Cell Pay-Per-VIew goes down in the record books as a compilation of the worst of in-ring moments at the worst of in-ring times. At a time where much of WWE's roster is in complete flux, the company's main failure is in ascertaining who deserves what, when, where and why. With a babyface roster befallen by two major injuries (Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns), a babyface cornerstone of the promotion treading water without compelling opponents who can beat him (and gain legitimacy from beating him) in John Cena, and a babyface in waiting in Randy Orton, WWE's in trouble. On the heel side of things, they're overloaded with compelling competitors, but lacking in babyfaces for them to beat that the crowd can believe that in defeating, they're gaining in intrigue surrounding them. Thus, Hell In A Cell was terrible. From beginning to end, the most terrible thing is that we can't forget the show because it created storyline points for the rest of 2014 and in many ways signaled the company's direction insofar as Wrestlemania 31. That being said, here are 10 things (of many) to (hopefully) forget about this s**tshow of a sports entertainment spectacle.
