The Undertaker against five other stars in Hell in a Cell, 2000

The Hell in a Cell match from the Armageddon pay-per-view in 2000 may not have been the best Hell in a Cell match of all-time, but the star power is still unmatched to this day.

WWF Champion Kurt Angle was set to defend the title inside Hell in a Cell against Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Triple H, Rikishi and The Undertaker. Simply put, holy crap.

Outside of a Royal Rumble match, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a match with that many big names. Two names have already been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame (Austin and Rikishi), while Rock, Triple and The Undertaker are all first-ballot hall of famers. Realistically, even Angle has a legitimate shot at making the WWE Hall of Fame someday as the company’s only Olympic gold medalist.

Once again, this match had everything: A truck ripping the cell door of its hinges, slams onto cars near the entrance way, Stone Cold Stunners, and a chokeslam off the cell from The Undertaker.

Angle would somehow retain the gold after the bloody battle royal for the ages, but the match’s peak found The Undertaker right in the thick of it. His chokeslam on Rikishi into the bed of a pickup truck stopped every single person in their tracks, including the other four stars in the match. It was a moment that will live on in WWE lore for a long, long time.
