When WrestleMania 15 rolled around in early 1999, the company wanted to do something big.

In order to do this, a huge match was made, pitting The Undertaker against the Big Boss Man, in the very first Hell in a Cell match in WrestleMania history.

Though the match was a decent affair, the main reason the match is remembered is what came afterwards.

Defeating the Boss Man, The Phenom would show just how twisted he was, having a noose fall from the ceiling.

With the help of Edge, Christian and Gangrel of the Brood, the group hung Boss Man, who dangled from the rafters until he no longer moved.

The shocking image of Boss Man (who died in 2004), being hung, the match is often overlooked by the company as they try to maintain their PG image.
