10 Most Genuinely Frightening Moments In Wrestling History

Everyone with a passion for professional wrestling remembers the feeling that surged inside them when they saw Mick Foley plummet off the top of the Cell and through the announce table. It was a monumental moment, a bump that signified a new era of professional wrestling, one that remains one of the most sickening and unbelievable spots in history.

Yet, it had the benefit of being planned, with Foley and WWE crew prepared for the fall before the match began. The second fall, in which Mankind fell through the Cell cage itself, plummeting down into the ring with a devastating thud was a botch. The ring wasn't rigged to protect him like it was two years later against Triple H and if his fall was slightly worse, Foley could have easily died upon impact or sustained critical injuries.

Even with his good luck, he was immediately concussed and one of his teeth broke through his mouth and into his nose due to the severity of the impact. It is a scintillating moment, one that never fails to spike adrenaline in whoever views it, but truly terrifying even over 20 years later.
