Original match: The Undertaker vs Big Boss Man - Hell in a Cell Match

The Undertaker vs Terry Funk always semmed like a match that should have happened multiple times. However, The Funker and The Deadman never engaged in a singles match with one another.

Legendary manager and booker, Jim Cornette, claims that he would have booked The Undertaker to take on Terry Funk at WrestleMania X8 if he was booking the infamous Invasion storyline; many fans would not have disagreed with the former Smoky Mountain Wrestling owner.

The seeds were planted for a Funk and Undertaker showwdown during the famous Hell in a Cell match at King of the Ring 1998, where The Undertaker literally chokeslammed the territorial legend's shoes off his feet. From there, it seemed like the two were destined for battle.

With a prolonged story from July 1998 to March of 1999, The Lord of Darkness and the aging brawler could have told a slow story of the gunfighter coming back for one last fight against the new sheriff in town.

A main event feud with WWE's top star could have been a perfect way for Terry Funk to go out, along with giving the audience a classic story for them to remember for ages.
