Happy Birthday to the great, J.J. Dillion.

Also considerin' how bad Batista was at that time it was extraordinary to watch him and Trips actually put on a great Hell in a Cell in 2005.

 

[Chris]

That Vengeance was actually a damn good PPV overall too. It's forgotten, but it was one of the best during that era of WWE.

Who? Don't remember her. Does sound like a TNA sort of idea mind crowning a Miss TNA before the company is even a year old

Agree with Chris on that Vengeance we really saw the best of HHH during that Batista feud.

That Hell in A Cell remains one of my favorite Batista matches.

And who the hell is Taylor Vaughn?

And who the hell is Taylor Vaughn?

She was BB in '99 in the WWF.

That busty EMT?

That busty EMT?

The one Bubba put through a table and King always made big boob jokes about.
