#2 Three Stages of Hell
The aptly named matches consist of three falls. Three dangerous falls. It is a radical version of the two-out of three falls stipulation. It is only held between wrestlers who have had the most intense and personal feuds. The very first Three Stages of Hell match was held between Triple H and Stone Cold Steve Austin. Austin was run over by car driven by Rikishi and it turned out that it was orchestrated by Triple H. Austin retaliated by dropping a car Triple H was in from 20 feet in air with a forklift.
The two clashed at No Way Out 2001, where Triple H won the match after winning the second(after hitting Austin in the head with his favourite weapon and delivering the Pedigree and third(after the Rattlesnake and the Game hit each other with a barbed wire 2x4 and a sledgehammer respectively and HHH fell on Austin and won by pinfall) falls .
The next Three Stages of Hells match was held between Triple H and Shawn Michaels who had one of most intense, violent and bloody feuds in wrestling history. Following Shawn Michaels’ return, Triple H and Shawn Michaels reformed D-X and Triple H immediately turned heel and pedigreed Shawn Michaels right in the middle of the ring just after they did the “suck it” routine.
After an Unsanctioned Street Fight and a match at Survivor Series, the two clashed in a brutal Three Stages of Hell match. Triple H finally managed to get the better off Shawn Michaels after failing the previous two times. The next one was between Triple H and Randy Orton, after the latter started targeting Triple H’s family. Orton won this Three Stages of Hell Match.
The latest one was between John Cena and Ryback. Any guesses as to who won it?
