Hell in a Cell is WWE's ultimate feud-ender, and one of its most punishing match types. It's also been the site of some truly iconic moments, including Kane's debut, Mankind's legendary plummet, and the 'End of an Era' match at WrestleMania 28. Unfortunately, nothing in life is perfect - not even the Hell in a Cell stipulation. There have been 30 Hell in a Cell matches throughout WWE history (if you include a multi-man post-Raw dark match in 2011), and a fair few have been utterly terrible. The stipulation's worst moments don't just revolve around shoddy in-ring action; the Cell match has also featured its fair share of terrible booking decisions and ill-advised finishes.
10. Mick Foley Didn't Retire After Losing His Retirement Match At No Way Out 2000
Everybody knows that wrestling retirements seem to last as long as the average Hardcore Title reign. One day, Ric Flair's bidding an emotional goodbye at WrestleMania 24; the next, he's popping up to deliver nonsensical heel promos in TNA. It's cynical and money-grabbing, but it's the way of the wrestling world. Retirements are as much a work as the rest of the business. But Mick, we thought you were different. Back in early 2000, Foley was engaged in an emotional, torch-passing feud with Triple H. After losing a brutal Street Fight at the Royal Rumble, Mick challenged the Game to one last match at No Way Out. Win, and he'd become the new WWF Champion; lose, and he'd retire forever. Forever. He didn't though. Their match was an emotional epic (which saves it from a higher entry on this list) but the consequences were dire. Despite losing a barbaric contest to Triple H, Foley's retirement lasted just a month. He was shoehorned into the WrestleMania 2000 main event - part of the extremely ill-advised 'McMahon In Every Corner' angle - and given a far less dramatic send-off than originally intended.
