10 Wrestling Matches So Brutal They Hurt To Watch
4. Mankind Vs. The Undertaker (WWF King Of The Ring 1998)
There's no way any list looking at painful-to-watch wrestling matches could feel complete without poor Mick Foley's beating at the King Of The Ring 1998 show. It's not hard to imagine that this specific match has become one of the most-watched on the WWE Network, so infamous are the titanic bumps it contains.
For new wrestling fans, The Undertaker vs. Mankind is simply must-see content. Within minutes of the brawl erupting, the latter was hurled from the top of the steel Cell through an announce table more than 15 feet below. Incredibly, that's not where the actual sensation of pain (through simply watching) sets in.
It's upon seeing the second major bump that things start to get frightening. A crude Chokeslam through the top of the cage into the ring below looks downright cruel, especially when seeing the unnatural angle Foley's legs are at once his head, beck and back collide with the canvas.
The whole match is like watching a dear friend get the kicking of their life, it's pretty blood-curdling in general. By the time Mankind is shown with his own bloody tooth embedded in his nose, nausea begins to set in.
