https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4ugBeiI17Q Versus: Shawn Michaels Stipulation: Hell in a Cell Date: 1997 The very first Hell in a Cell was an unknown quantity. What exactly, was this match going to look like? We got our answer, and it was straight up shocking it was the type of match, more than even the Ladder match, that could shorten careers and lives. There are many highlights and spots throughout the match (not to mention the debut of Kane), but that final chair shot over Shawns head deserves special mention. Jeez. Such a sickening smack. Wrestling is not for the faint of heart.
