Like most, I've never cared for the Hell In A Cell pay-per-view. The Cell match should be used as the blowoff to an intense blood-feud, not like how it's been used in the past few years (with Taker/Trips at WM28 excluded) where feuds were just shoe-horned into the Cell.
Well, we finally have a feud that's HIAC-worthy in CM Punk/Brock Lesnar, and the pay-per-view is right around the corner. Additionally, the thought of Paul Heyman screaming "BARRRRROCK LEZZZNARR! HELLLLLL IN A CELLLLLLLLLL!" in every promo leading up to the match is very amusing.
Now, I know the cons. There's already 2 pay-per-views in October (3 counting TNA's Bound For Glory). And if Punk were to get his win back, it wouldn't be at one of the major shows of the year. It wouldn't be his "WrestleMania moment."
But there's also the pros. If their Summerslam match is any indication, it could be one of the best Cell matches of all time. It'd absolutely be promoted as the main event. The Hell In A Cell pay-per-view would get a bolster in the buyrates from having Brock in the main event. And just as well, the sooner Punk gets his revenge on Brock & Paul Heyman, the sooner he gets back into the WWE title picture. And neither guy would be tied up for WrestleMania.
What do you think?

That is my thinking if Punk and Brock continue, which they probably will. But if it is happening, is it the tie breaker? Do they battle at BATTLEGROUND!?

I don't like the HIAC PPV either and I agree with your first paragraph entirely. But yes Brock vs Punk in the cell could be amazing.

You think HHH is going to let them out do his cage match?

Make it a tables match with Bo Dallas. First guy to put Dallas through a table is the winner. Two out of three falls.

Who cares about him getting a Wrestlemania moment? Just have a great match. If anything it'd add some legitimacy to a B-show. Speaking for myself, I don't care either. There's just an attitude among some that main event feuds should have their blowoffs at one of the big 4 shows. Some people are suggesting that Punk & Lesnar have their blowoff match at Mania, but I read that and think "What the Hell is Punk gonna do in the meantime? Feud with Curtis Axel for 8 months?" I've also read some comments for Punk/Lesnar 3. I also had the idea of that taking place at the Royal Rumble with the #30 spot in the Rumble on the line, with the idea that Punk would beat Lesnar, win the Rumble and contend for the WWE title at Mania. But I'm not sure, it seems like too much. |

But I'm not sure, it seems like too much. I think three matches would definitely be too much, especially if a HIaC is the second one. Two matches, one where each guy wins, and everyone comes out looking okay. Both guys need some wins right now and this is the best way not to f*** over either of them. |

It's probably for the better that way. It's kind of the in-thing to have a 3 match series in one feud, but Punk winning the second match (especially in HIAC) is good enough. You could talk about the rubber match, but it's something you can keep in your pocket and use much later down the road. Ultimately, I just didn't want Punk/Brock to follow the same match blueprint as Trips/Brock (first match Brock wins at SS, second match Punk wins at Mania, third match Punk wins at [blank]). And as also mentioned, I don't want Punk to be tied with Lesnar (and vice versa) at WrestleMania. |

Agreed there's too many cell matches.
Double agreed not every feud has to blow off at mania.
This would be a good match, but I'd rather WWE do away with the HIAC ppv altogether. Do it at Survivor Series.

This feud is too intense for the Hell In A Cell.
It can only be settled in the CHAMBER OF CONFLICT!
