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

The first-ever Inferno Match at WWE Unforgiven 1998 is still the best one for obvious reasons. The viewers were understandably in shock and awe while witnessing something as unprecedented as this. Kane and The Undertaker went on to have a banger even while wrestling in such dangerous territory. Never for a moment, it felt like the two were fearing what if something wrong happens.

Flames going up just when The Undertaker executed The Old School was a sight to behold. Even though these two have wrestled countless matches over the years, this still stands apart as one of their greatest bouts. Even though Vader made some unnecessary interferences during the contest, it did not affect the quality of the match but rather served the story quite well.

A few dives from the top rope were fantastic, though the best moment was when The Undertaker dived over the top rope to take down Kane and Vader at the same time. Ultimately, The Deadman came on top after a chair shot he delivered to Kane pushed the latter to the back, thus setting his arm on fire. The two would go on to have another Inferno match on WWE RAW, as mentioned in the second slide.
