10 Sickest Spots In The Iconic Undertaker Vs Mankind Hell In A Cell Match
3. The Undertaker Chokeslams Mankind Through The Cell
Do note that at the point that what looks like the second "crime of the century" type spot has taken place in this match, the two combatants in this contest have actually "wrestled" for two minutes. 'taker and Mankind brawled on top of the cage for just 90 seconds before Mankind went through the table, and for just under 30 seconds when Taker chokeslammed him through the cage. The concussive impact to the mind of fans watching this match is insane. The second that Foley's back on his feet and fighting, he's basically become the toughest wrestler that will ever enter the ring. Like, ever. Like, Undertaker's done everything short of shooting Mick Foley with a revolver at close range here and he's still living and breathing. In any other generation, the match would've been stopped at this point and Undertaker would've been a heel forever. But the fact that the entire crowd is chanting his name like he's a babyface is what actually forces the match to continue here, because if Mick Foley can't get over too, then the amount of punishment he withstands is for naught. Amazing.
