What is it about this year's Hell In A Cell pay-per-view and the prospect of watching elder statesmen sacrifice themselves for entertainment?

Within this article, it's already been suggested that AJ Styles (41) and Samoa Joe (39) brutalise each other and Randy Orton (38) stare early retirement in the face in battle with a Jeff Hardy (41) more 'homicidal, suicidal and genocidal' than Sabu ever was, but should the shamen of self-abuse not really be the one stealing all the headlines when the show's over.

Wrestling Observer bicep factory Dave Meltzer this week ruled out Mick Foley undertaking any physical abuse beyond the extremely gentle, but will the temptation for the 'Hardcore Legend' - new hips and all - be too great to pass up when he steps into the structure so dominant in his life that it defines both a career and a spoken word tour toasting 20 years since he was thrown off and through it.

Roman Reigns Vs Braun Strowman is already a bout completely lacking in a sympathetic figure. 'Mrs Foley's baby boy's childlike affection for the insane lingers deep within him, even lower than the sock in his sweatpants that draws all the cheers. For one night, may he take the biggest risk to generate a final reward for his past-life pastings?
