[2005-12-18-WWE-Armageddon] Randy Orton vs The Undertaker (Hell in a Cell)

[ohtani's jacket]

This wasn't a bad match, but did anyone really want to see Undertaker wrestle Orton in a Hell in a Cell match? Maybe I'd have felt differently if I'd watched the buildup, but nothing about the entrances or the commentary sold me on the premise. I swear Cole and Taz were reading from the same script that JR and King used whenever they introduced a Hell in a Cell match. The buzzword this time was "Devil's Playground." There was no way Orton was going to climb the cage  or take a crazy bump, so instead they worked one of those Hell n a Cell match where they brawl around the outside of the ring. Orton bled big time. Undertaker tried to get his hands on Orton Sr throughout the bout and finally got some payback at the end. From what I can tell, this was a blow off match, so the result was never in doubt. It never really felt like Taker was in any serious jeopardy. Orton tried, but perhaps a different stip like a Buried Alive Match or a Casket Match would have suited them better.
