6 WWE Feuds That Should Have Ended In Hell In A Cell
3. Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels
To be fair, this is a bit of a stretch since Shawn Michaels won the very first Hell in a Cell match just a month prior to the Montreal Screwjob, which led to Bret Harts departure from WWF. Still, Hart and Michaels had had quite a heated rivalry throughout the mid-90s, and Montreal ended up being the culmination of that longstanding feud. As any wrestling fan knows, it ended with Hart leaving for WCW after a deceptive finish, only returning 11 years later, long after his in-ring career had ended. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuGdLGoG3e4 But given their rivalry and of course, the Screwjob its an absolute shame that we never got one last match between the two legends. And what better way to blow off a feud between two guys who headlined a WrestleMania with an Iron Man match? When you talk about using Hell in a Cell to end blood feuds, this is the example that should be used. A healthy Hart and Michaels would have owned the cell match. But alas, Harts departure and Michaels four-year hiatus that began six months later ensured that they would never get a chance to face each other again.
