Where: Unforgiven 1998

Why You Shouldn't Watch: Speaking of visually dazzling, it's WWE's first ever "Inferno Match"!

Warring kayfabe brothers The Undertaker and Kane had a fine-enough first scrap at WrestleMania XIV. To follow up, the then-WWF believed capitalising on the latter's chargrilled appearance would be best. So, they set fire to the ring apron and had the Brothers Of Destruction carefully brawl around it.

On paper, this must've sounded incredible. Fire, chaos and the promise of some motherf*cker going up in flames lured people in on pay-per-view, but in practice? In practice, the first ever "Inferno" was a limiting gimmick that slowed 'Taker and Kane down to a crawl.

Kids back in the late-90s gushed with praise for Unforgiven '98's fire-based scenario. This guy knows, 'cause he was one of them. The truth is that younger viewers ploughing their way through WWE Network/Peacock should give the match a miss and watch something else instead.
