who came up with hell in a cell
Hell in a Cell The original concept for the Hell in a Cell structure was created by Jim Cornette. He described his concept as a combination of a cage surrounding the majority of the ringside area (the design, he stated, was popular in Memphis wrestling promotions), and the cage used in both the NWA (National Wrestling Alliance) and WCW (World Championship Wrestling) for their WarGames matches (which had a top on the cage).[1] On an October 2015 video podcast, Vince Russo said Cornette probably did come up with the concept, but the name "Hell in a Cell" came from him.[2]
