5 greatest unscripted moments in WWE history

#2. The Undertaker chokeslams Mick Foley through Hell in a Cell

The Undertaker vs Mankind (Mick Foley) at King of the Ring 1998 will forever be remembered for Foley's flight from the top of the cell. However, another spot from the same match stunned fans, officials, and WWE Superstars alike.

Because while The Undertaker throwing Mankind from the top of the cell was planned, the chokeslam through the roof was not.

At this point in the match, Foley had already flown off the top and crashed through a table on the floor. He'd been stretchered off, but fought his way back, and the two climbed to the top of the foreboding structure once again.

They battled there, trading blows back and forth, until The Deadman lifted Mankind for a chokeslam and a section of the cage gave way under the impact.

The Phenom spoke about the incident on The Bill Simmons Podcast, saying:

“That cell wasn’t supposed to break like that. It was only supposed to give way. I had already had that match with Shawn [Micheals] and Shawn’s half of what Mick weighed. I’m 315 and Mick’s probably 280 and we’re walking on the chain-linked panels and you can hear the wire cling and they’re shooting off. I’m just really fortunate, right before I chokeslammed him, I stepped off the panel on top the poles. If I hadn’t, we could have had a really far worse outcome.”

Despite the unplanned carnage, Foley and Undertaker somehow went on to complete the match, and it made Mankind the hardcore legend he is today.
