If there is one match that the fans, over the course of the past two decades, go back to, to truly appreciate what the Superstars put themselves through to entertain them, it has to be the Hell In A Cell match between The Undertaker and Mankind.

In one night, the legend of Mick Foley increased tenfold, and he cemented his legacy as one of the greatest of all time.

The image of Foley flying through the air, as time seemingly stood still has been imprinted on the minds of WWE fans around the world. However, the second ‘bump’, which saw Foley being chokeslammed through the cell, wasn’t planned, and could’ve easily cost Foley his career or worse.

While the cell caving in wasn’t The Undertaker’s or Foley’s fault, it added to the aura of the HIAC match. But even someone as deranged as Mick wouldn’t have agreed to take such a dangerous bump, and it definitely cut his career short.
