Note: I intentionally left out The Undertaker vs. Big Boss Man HIAC match at WrestleMania 15....because it sucked.
With another HIAC match apparently on the horizon, which of these matches was your personal favourite?
Also, do you think that the 'Hell in a Cell' match has lost its lustre? I mean, I know they're still not used that often, but it seems like they used to mean a lot more and were held in higher regard about 5 years ago. It just seems watered down to me.
Anyway, on with the voting!

I have to say the six man Hell in a Cell was good....I basically liked it since I thought that Angle would lose for sure...I mean I was moping around all day thinking he was going to lose the title....and I lit up like a Christmas tree when he covered the bloody Rock....mark moment

Taker Vs. Foley.....the best, and most iconic by far! And yes, it has lost a LOT of it's luster....mainly cause HHH insists that he be in every damn one of em.

Voted for 'Taker/Brock. No real reason. But mainly due to 'Taker/Shawn already had enough votes.

Michaels vs. Taker was the superior HIAC as far as storytelling and an actual match, so I voted for that.
Mankind vs. Taker is the most memorable, however, and for good reason. But after that second huge bump by Foley through the cage, no one could possibly say it was a better match than the original b/c Foley was out of it for the remainder of it. And what's great is that I think Foley would be the first one to admit that.

Yeah you have a point,but that was the first "extreme" match,if you will,the WWE had back in 1998.There were no thumbtacks before in the WWE,or falling off cages{I mean FALLING} and the crowd and announcers made it even that much more perfect.
Taker/HBK,wasnt that the one where Kane made his debut?

Taker-HBK by far. Taker-Mankind was built around 2 spots. How can anyone call that a great match?

HBK/Taker was the best match. But come on the mankind/Taker was amazing, nobody was expecting anything like that to be in the WWE and nothing ever has since. Maybe shane o mac/ angle could challange but not quite as shocking

I could agree with the Mankind-Taker match being historical, but outside of 2 big bumps, the rest of the match blew rather large chunks. HBK-Taker was better wrestling, and HBK-HHH was good just because it was 45 freaking minutes, and didn't get stale (IMO)

There's a lot to be said about Mankind and Taker's Cell match. But the thing is, and Foley said it himself, it's not really the greatest match ever. It's not really even that great. It had some very good spots (falling off and THROUGH the cell, backdrop and chokeslam on the tacks), but for the most part, it was slow. I do, however, applaude Foley for not dying. I'd have been dead after the fall off the cage, and Foley's still alive.

Mankind and The Undertaker. I liked the match overall, though the two spots were amazing.

What, no Kennel In A Cell?!
In all seriousness, though - you left off Trips/Rikishi/Austin/Rock/'Taker/Angle, which is certainly better than some of those listed.
It's 'Taker/Shawn, by a vast margin. Take out the spots from 'Taker/Mankind and it's not an especially good match. Meh. Not many of them are especially good. The gimmick does tend to produce disappointing matches.

I kinda liked the HHH vs. Cactus 2000 match. It had a big spot, and the match outside the spot wasn't too bad if I recall.

As for the match itself I'd say HBK vs Taker but for impact Foley vs Taker, I liked the HBK/Taker match more but the reaction from the audience when Foley fell off the cage was incredible, also the announcing was pretty good in that match. Favorite line was when Foley falls through the cage and Lawler says in all seriousness, "That's it. He's dead.".......I marked out like a little b**ch......

Foley vs. HHH has the best 'story' in-ring, and some good spots to accentuate it.
