Winners: D-Generation X

Im kinda Pissed Orton won but hopefully MVP gets a shot but Im only dreaming.

I was at Hell in a Cell on Sunday night! It was absolutely INCREDIBLE. I had floor seats and a few times I was so close to touching DX. One of the greatest parts was when Orton flipped a few of us off when the cameras weren't on him. I couldn't stop laughing! Only thing I didn't like was that I completely missed Matt Hardy in the preshow. He should have been in a regular match.

you have pictures? if so, post them up please

from what I can tell, this PPV was a disastrous piece of hot shit especially considering there was NO BLOOD! HELL IN A CELL! COME OOOOONNNN!!!

Pretty much this and add to the fact that fucking Taker/Punk was the first match of the night

This PPV killed the hell in a cell match. Never have I been so bored from a Hell in a Cell match. I did like the DX/Legacy one though...It was quite innovative.

tbh i understand them having a Cell match first. as way of starting on a real high....and clearly WWE thought that wed crap our pants the three times the cell lowered.
and im not at all surprised that DX finshed the card
