When: King Of The Ring 1998

What Happened: You knew this one would be here.

The Undertaker tried to maim old rival Mankind twice at King Of The Ring '98. Firstly, he grabbed Mick Foley by the head and ass, then chucked him headfirst off Hell In A Cell through the Spanish announce table below. As legend has it, the Spanish commentary team didn't know that was going to happen. Yikes!

Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler had no clue either bump was going to happen, and that only made their calls more iconic. JR's "broken in half" moment stood the test of time, but Lawler's "that's it, he's dead" line is still chilling to look back on now. That came after Mick was chokeslammed through the Cell roof into the ring below.

It's incredible to think that Foley doesn't remember anything after the second fall, and that 'Taker was working this stunt show with a broken foot. Standing atop the cage looking down, 'The Deadman' wondered if his peer was even alive.
