The match that made Mankind a living legend

This visual has become so legendary, it is regularly shown as a part of WWE's highlight reels and is referenced whenever a Hell in a Cell match is on the horizon.

Mankind was far from what a traditional wrestler looked like. He was overweight and definitely not in the league of someone like Bret Hart. But no one would dare to do the things he ended up doing in the WWE. The greatest and the most memorable visual in his storied career came when he faced off against The Undertaker inside Hell in a Cell during the peak of the Attitude Era.

Most of the match took place outside the cell and eventually, the moment arrived that's been etched into every fan's memories: The Undertaker throwing an unconscious Mankind off the top of the cell, 16 feet down, onto the announcer's table. Mankind miraculously came back after being put into a stretcher, and proceeded to take another fall, and lose a tooth.

Traditional fans tend to show this clip to anyone who brands wrestling as being a fake sport.
