There used to be a time when I got hyped for HIAC matches but now its just meh
Anyone else feel the same way? When was the last great HIAC match?

it was gully when it was smaller, looked like a normal ass enclosed fence you see at the park, and would bend to people's weight
plus no blood

I dont think they should do them anymore HIAC in the PG era just make me think
also the fueds and and the buildups for some of them have not even been HIAC worthy. Just look back at some of em Cena, Del rio, punk, ziggler, and swagger in a 5 man Hiac. That was a dark match that lasted 5 mins
Face it hiac has been buried

Ya feel me
nikkas don't even climb to the top anymore.
Made it too big and PG restrictions made a Hell In A Cell a regular ass cage match essentially.

Thats one of my favorite matches but they still had some good ones after that. RKO and undertaker had their match at the end of that year.That was when randy was on that legend killer shyt
We got to 
in '05
The three big matches that made the Hell in a Cell the most feared type of match imo were
Undertaker vs. Mankind - KoTR 1998
Austin vs. the Rock vs. Rikishi vs. Triple H vs the Undertaker vs King Kurtis - Armageddon 2000
Cactus Jack vs Triple H - No Way Out 2000
all three of those matches involved someone getting thrown off (or through) the cell
since they stopped doing those spots... the match has been nothing short of "meh", plus the fact it's now a yearly event rather than "the match" to end a feud for good

Taker v Foley raised the bar WAY too high for the violence expectations with that match.
Taker v Brock was pretty damn stellar IMO but the bar is just too high as far as what kinda dangerous shyt needs to be done to get that
feeling out of that match.

Mankind raised the bar too high in the 2nd ever Hell in a Cell
Brock vs Undertaker is the only that came somewhat close

Taker/Edge HIAC @ Summerslam 08' was a GREAT match and one of the best HIAC's but I never hear it get talked about, was a great buildup
