20 Times The Undertaker Went Hardcore

8. The First Ever Inferno Match

Versus: Kane Stipulation: Inferno Match Date: 1998 This match got by on pure visual hype €” those flames looked terrifying, and they fed into Kane€™s entire €˜disfigurement by fire€™ motif. The key moment at the end of the match, when Kane€™s arm got lit on fire, was perfect, WWE storytelling €” Kane made a great show of staggering backstage (the fire extinguishers were definitely waiting right behind the curtain). According to the Undertaker, the Inferno Match was particularly dangerous, because the flames sucked all the oxygen out of the air. One wrong, woozy move, and one of the Brothers of Destruction could have gone stumbling, headfirst, into the flames.
