#3 Mankind takes a bump onto the thumbtacks (WWE/F King of the Ring, 1998)

Well, this plan backfired

There will never be another match like this -- not just WWE, but also in the entire pro-wrestling business. If you are concerned about The Undertaker’s name appearing in each of the slides so far, you will have to bear with me for the rest of the article. He, along with Mankind, delivered the best Hell in a Cell match of all time.

There are three different spots from this match that have made our list tonight. Ironically, the least dangerous of those is from the closing moments of that memorable encounter that took place at WWE King of the Ring PPV 1998. In this match, Undertaker and Mankind squared off in one of the most brutal encounters in the pro-wrestling business and immortalized the Hell in a Cell stipulation in WWE forever.

We will have to toy with the timeline of the match for the sake of this article. After every jaw-dropping moment (to be elaborated in the next slide), it was the last few seconds of the match that had every WWE fan feel like their stomach was churning inside of them. Early on, Mankind had scattered a lot of thumbtacks on the ring canvas and wanted to use it as his weapon.

Unfortunately for him, Undertaker turned things around and managed to gain complete control of their match. He then delivered a devastating Tombstone Piledriver to Mankind, who was left screaming in agony as he rolled over the bed of sharp pins. What's worse is that Mankind had dislocated his shoulder and his ribs were severely bruised at this point. This ended their match as well as the feud and left every single spectator in awe of what had just unfolded in front of their eyes.
