5 Ups & 6 Downs From WWE WrestleMania XV

1. Hung Up

WWE

Considered by most fans to be the worst Hell In A Cell outing in the gimmick's history, Big Boss Man's battle with The Undertaker is only really remembered for the horrifyingly stupid post-match sequence in which the Cobb County lawman's head is chucked into a noose.

The visual is memorable for all the wrong reasons, not least in considering how 'The Deadman's feud with The Corporation played out. He wasn't just content beating Boss Man here, he had to try and actually murder him to make his point crystal clear - he was coming for Vince McMahon and prepared to kill his henchmen along the way.

Or he was actually working for him all along and this was all just a sh*tty game of chess to get to Steve Austin. One or the other.
