10 Insanely High and Death-Defying Falls In Wrestling

4. Mankind vs. Undertaker (King of the Ring 1998)

Again, it's not the fall that puts this entry on the list. It's the sheer amount of human carnage that ensued.

Mankind and The Undertaker left their mark on Hell in a Cell in a way no sane man could ever or will ever top. Foley went off the cage, through the cage, and more before admitting defeat, and in doing so, he transformed the aura of The Undertaker from a supernatural entity to a bada** physical force of nature that could believably tear through any opponent in the locker room at any time. 'Taker felt dangerous after this match in a way that few wrestlers ever will.

This fall didn't just embed itself into the memories of wrestling fans; it seared itself there. It is the bar, the benchmark against which all other cage matches are measured, and they are all found wanting.
