Hell in a Cell... Two Men enter, One Man leaves. No DQs, No countouts. A winner must be determined... unless we decide not to

It was so bad. Mick Foley really added a lot to the match.

Not the first time. They once declared a no-contest in a Cena LMS match on the basis that Cena couldn’t continue.

Listen, they wrapped this thing up in just over three and a half hours. I don't know how anybody can complain.

True! I knew we hadn't seen the last of Lesnar.

the match itself was fine, at a minimum, so don't let that put you off

As an alternative, you could read the breathless blow-by-blow of the company itself, which seems to feel no shame about the ending.

That tag team match was sweet, main event was rancid meat

Although the rules of the contest stipulated the winner must incapacitate his foe to the point of being unable to respond to a 10 count, official Charles Robinson had no choice but to rule the match over when neither The Champ nor Ryback could rise to his feet.

I never understood why they just didn't count to 10. Neither guy gets up; it's a draw. Changes nothing result wise, but it's way less stupid to explain.

They had already done something similar with Rock/Mankind LMS. Why not do it here?

Best guess: louder booing if you ring the bell and explicitly announce a draw.

Kind of graphic result from the Orton/Hardy match. Orton's puncture in the leg:

Spoiler:

A bit less graphic:

I'd be so upset to have been a fan at the show last night. What a ****ty way to end it with no result, no winner, and both guys just laying in the ring after not having done anything the 10 minutes prior.

It's crazy how quick the crowd turned oncr they realized what was happening. Brock's music got a big pop but when they realized it was going to be what it was, Brock just coming in and beating both of them up, and having no conclusion to the match they soured quickly.

Couldn't they have at least had the other 4 wrestlers gone in and attempt to fight off Lesnar?

That was also quite a great use of the briefcase. I just thought of that a few mins ago. What a waste. It's not even an intriguing lead into RAW tonight. Nobody wanted Brock/Roman at WM, not at TGRR, and not at SS. Can we move on?

I didn't think they'd be able to top their awful decision of having Sheamus win MITB a few years ago but they followed it up with Corbin and Strowman having a pre cash in, lol. F this company,

The mixed gender match and main event were both atrocious, especially trying to sell the beat down on top of the cage, and that ending...

All of the criticisms of that ending are absolutely right, but I really hope that people aren't actually surprised by WWE doing something like that at this point.

I was surprised. I was already prepping myself for shield interfering to give Roman the win and hating it. But somehow they came up with an ending I hated even worse than what I was expecting.

But then again they came up with an ending worse than I expected for Summerslam, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Yeah, to be clear I'm not saying I expected that particular ending either. I'm more saying that they haven't left much of any room anymore for a more general reaction of, "They would seriously do something THAT stupid?"

I'm sure they could probably still shock me in some ways, but they already broke down this particular wall when they called off a LMS match in a no-contest. I barely remember any details of modern PPVs even though I watch most of them, but that 2013 no-contest has always stuck with me (for the wrong reasons, obviously).
