10 Wrestling Matches With Backstories You’ll NEVER Believe

10. Kane Vs. The Undertaker

When: WWF Unforgiven 1998

What Happened: Imagine being clad head-to-toe in a tight, figure hugging costume, wearing a mask, sweating half to death and being totally unprepared for the match you're working. That was Kane's plight back in 1998 when the WWF produced a dramatic, first ever 'Inferno Match'.

The company scheduled a run-through for everyone involved the night before. They were using fire, so everything had to be carefully laid out, but Kane’s limo driver went the wrong way and he arrived after the prep session had concluded. Basically, he went into the pay-per-view battle blind and had to wing it with the fire.

To hell with that!

Worse, the whole match was torture for both guys too - the flames were obviously red hot and heat inside the ring was unbearable. Oxygen was on short supply, and Kane was struggling to breathe underneath his mask. No prep + hellish conditions = an awful experience.
