10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Sept 21)

1. 'Taker's Snap Decision Stopped Him From Landing On Top Of Mankind

The Undertaker doesn't do a lot of interviews, and that made his short discussion with WWE.com this past week a rare treat. The one-off chat also gave some more insight into one of the most-analysed matches in wrestling history: his Hell In A Cell classic against Mick Foley from the 1998 King Of The Ring.

What more could be said about that one, you ask? How about the fact 'Taker's snap decision stopped him from tumbling through the cage roof with Mick and landing on top of him?

As both brawled ominously on top of the structure, The Undertaker had a sudden urge to step back onto the support beams instead of putting his full weight on the panel Foley later smashed through. That almost self-conscious decision prevented him from joining Mick on the canvas below.

'Taker considers that a blessing, because he reasons his body weight might have been 'catastrophic' for Foley. He has a point there. Had both men fell through the panel that gave way, one would have landed on top of the other (most likely The Undertaker on top of Mick) and Mick could have been killed.

Scary.
