10 Brutal Wrestling Moments To Show Non-Fans

1. Mankind Is Hurled From Atop The Hell In A Cell Structure Twice

As with the TLC bout from WrestleMania X-Seven, non-wrestling fans will enjoy the 'car crash' elements to Mankind vs. The Undertaker from King of the Ring 1998, which took place inside Hell In A Cell. 'Taker and Mick Foley stole the show with a tremendous display of suffering for one's art. Suffering a little too much for some people's comfort: many felt as though Foley had taken things way too far and put his body through way too much stress. Firstly, he was thrown from the top of the Cell structure. Landing in a crumpled heap on the announce desk below, the fall looked like it had genuinely killed the wrestler. Somehow, he was able to continue, and was then hit with a Chokeslam through the roof of the cage to the hard ring below. Adding insult to injury, a steel chair followed him down, striking him in the face as he landed. People won't be able to believe what they're seeing if wrestling enthusiasts show them this. It's simply awe-inspiring. If such falls had happened in TV shows or movies, there's a good chance the character involved would be deceased. At the very least, they'd be transported to a local hospital. Instead, Foley finished the match and cemented his legacy... even though he can't remember much of it. What other brutal or horrific wrestling moments would you show to non-fans? What do you make of the ones presented on this list? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments section!
