Did you see the size of that hammer-like object? Of course they stopped the match.

Foley/Taker was sold as a ref stoppage until Foley got up off the stretcher. A HitC match getting stopped isn't unheard of. The problem is they let the match stay stopped. When they did the stretcher spot but had Bray get back up to claw Seth, the match should have carried on and Bray should have gone over.

Foley/Taker was a legit ref stoppage due to some crazy shit that suspended disbelief (partly because it was a semi-shoot), this was just trash

Wasn't it the regular sledgehammer that stopped the match?
The hammer-like object wasn't there after bray used it once or twice lol

You got worked, the first fall off the cell was planned. The second fall through the cell was the unplanned one. The stoppage and stretcher spot was a work.

No, he shouldn't have. It was way, way too soon, which was the real problem with the match. They hotshotted him into title contention too quickly, which was doubly retarded since they weren't ready to put the strap on him then. And that's the real reason people hate this finish, by the way. If they booked it how you proposed, I'm sure the posts today would be about how they botched a title run, with no seethe regarding this match.

HHH using the sledgehammer was absolutely retarded and this is exactly why. That said, he never used it the way you would actually use it, like Seth did here. HHH always did that awkward, "I'm gonna hold the tip of the hammer and drive my hand into you" attack.

Vince's mental state was/is dicentigrating. He forgot how to book his own match. And no one had the guts to stand up to him. Thats grand explanation

if one of the wrestlers pulled out a glock and pointed at their opponent's head in a hiac match, should the referee stop the damn match?

I know the modern wrestling fan is pants-on-head retarded, but it really is an indictment on the industry when people watch an attempted murder and then ask why the match was stopped.

By that logic, Taker should be in jail for throwing Foley from the top of the cage.
You really think using a sledgehammer is the worst thing a wrestler has done in a hell in a cell match?

Foley got thrown off the cell for a shoot and then had a chair fall off the roof and land narrow side down on his face. He was 100% fucked.

Seth Rollins just stacked a bunch of shit on top of Husky Harris and pretended like he was going to hit it with a hammer.. Which is great except how many fucking times did Triple H dome people with a sledgehammer and they were back on TV a week later? They even had a spot in that same match with an even bigger hammer that did not stop it ffs

They could have sold a ref stoppage in HITC like this:
>Seth hits Curb Stomp. Fiend sits up like Taker/Kane
>Seth hit Pedigree. Fiend sits up like Taker/Kane
>Seth Curb Stomp on chair. Fiend sits up like Taker/Kane
>Seth hits Pedigree on chair. Fiend sits up like Taker/Kane
>Seth hits Fiend with Sledgehammer. Goes for pin. Fiend kicks out at 2. Fiend sits up like Taker/Kane
>Seth puts ladder on top of Fiend. Uses sledgehammer to hit "Conchairto" on Fiend. Ref rings the bell and says thats enough. Doctors come in and check on Fiend. Fiend sits up like Taker/Kane. Attacks doctors. Attacks ref. Attacks security guard. Seth comes back, gets Mandible Claw'ed. Fiend walks away with title belt.

Sells the Fiend as a Jason Voorhees-like monster. Puts the heat on the ref and lets Fiend get his revenge.
Can build to the "match can't be stopped for any reason" rematch at Crown Jewel with Fiend playing head games. Seth sells like it the survivor of a slasher movie in a sequel/

This, smarks are fucking retarded. The reason Foley wasn't stopped was because he wasn't murdered, just crippled
Really Seth/Bray was great but AEWists hijacked the show like the faggot smarks they are

The stoppage itself isn't inherently illogical.
A stoppage isn't a disqualification, it's the ref saying the match needs to end immediately for the safety of one of the wrestlers. There's no reason that can't happen in a cage

Difference is nobody has seen shit like that in a match before and it looked actually dangerous. It is a bit different when it is 20 years later and the ref ends in because a guy is pretending to be hurt after pretending to be hit by the pretend weapons.

More “dangerous” match types should end in stoppage. So sorry you were all conditioned to think wrestling was anime.

It was though. The Terry funk run-in was completely unplanned and done just so the refs had time to check on him and make sure he could finish the match. It's pretty obvious from Taker's reactions to everything
