10 Reasons We All Love WWE's Hell In A Cell Gimmick
9. The Cell Looks Intimidating
The grandeur of wrestling is getting to see things that you wouldnt normally see in real life. Be it 7-foot-tall athletes or indoor pyro displays, the spectacle always plays a huge role in the overall entertainment experience of a wrestling show. The Hell in a Cell took the intimidation of a steel cage and turned up the voltage by moving the cage to the outside, making it higher, and adding a roof over it. Suddenly, a match normally known for escape was replaced by a match where the competitors couldnt get out (although they usually did). The original cell was 16 feet off the ground, and they somehow made it bigger. At Unforgiven 2006, the WWE debuted a new 20-foot-high amplified version of the cell. Functionally, this was because nobody was going to be taking a bump off the cage anymore, but visually, it looked much more impressive.
