6. Six-Pack Challenge – Armageddon 2000

In one of the most star-studded matches in WWE history –and certainly the biggest Hell In A Cell match of all time– Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, The Undertaker, Triple H and Rikishi all stepped inside the cell to take on WWE Champion Kurt Angle in a six-pack challenge for the title. It’s crazy to think of how much talent was involved in this match and all six men certainly delivered in this high-profile match at Armageddon in 2000.

Angle had amazingly captured the title less than a year after his debut with the company and was truly tested in his first Hell In A Cell match. Rikishi and The Rock were also making their respective debuts in the cell, and while some still think that Rikishi didn’t belong in this match, he had taken his place as one of the most hated villains in WWE after being a dancing mid-carder at best for quite a while. The Rock, also in his first HIAC, had feuded with Triple H off and on for a while and Stone Cold also had his problems with The Game. Throw in The Undertaker, who had participated in four of the first six HIAC matches, and you knew you were going to get a great match and that’s exactly what happened.

For more than half an hour, the six men were in the ring, out of the ring, on top of the cell, including a great spot where ‘Taker tossed Rikishi off the top of the cage into the bed of a pickup truck. All six men were busted open at one point or another and they put each other through absolute hell. The finish left a bit to be desired as Angle pinned The Rock, who was on the losing end of a Stone Cold Stunner, but everything else was very solid.
