These WWE spots will always stay in our memory

#1 The Undertaker burns Kane (WWE Unforgiven: In Your House 1998)

Kane and his love for playing with fire is no secret. Throw in The Undertaker and Kane's kayfabe brotherhood into the mix, and we have an instant classic. This pay-per-view featured the first-ever Inferno match in WWE history. In an iconic encounter, we saw Undertaker and Kane engage in a brutal battle to see who would be the first to throw their opponent into the fire.

This match was well-balanced with both Superstars taking turns to dominate the match. Even chokeslams from both The Undertaker and Kane couldn’t keep them down. Several spots during the match saw them narrowly escaping the gruesome contact with fire. At this point, Paul Bearer managed to throw a chair inside the ring, which allowed Kane to keep Undertaker down for a while.

Following that, Kane tried to escape the arena, but Vader stopped him. In the meantime, Undertaker took care for Paul Bearer by driving his head through a bass drum. He then took the steel chair from his hand and used it to attack Kane inside the ring. Finally, Undertaker delivered a big boot to push Kane through the roaring flames. Kane’s right hand instantly caught fire, and he ran outside the arena, screaming in agony while The Undertaker stood victorious inside the ring in a historic WWE match.
